Prawn, mango and avocado poke bowls
Ditch those drab lettuce leaves and, instead, fuel yourself with fresh fish, veggies and fresh mango. Sounds good, right? This trendy poke bowl is fresh yet full of flavour.
And it gets even better when you remember that the benefits of fish are well-proven. Prawns are a rich source of high-quality protein and minerals such as iodine, an essential nutrient for cognitive function and thyroid health. The wholegrain rice is a source of fibre and B vitamins which help to convert the food we eat into energy.
This lunchbox can be whipped up within minutes, using fresh ingredients or even leftovers from the fridge and you can get creative with different toppings! Poke bowls really aren’t just for restaurants…

‘Lily ran a fantastically crafted session on Nutrition for Lloyds Banking Group, as part of Mental Health Awareness Week. The session on food and how it contributes to our mood was truly exceptional and timely given the current climate we have found ourselves in. Lily’s session was attended by 900+ colleagues and was one of the most interactive and enjoyable sessions I have ever attended, with colleague feedback being overwhelming positive. I really look forward to having Lily come back and hopefully deliver another presentation in the near future.’
