Chickpea Tuna Poké Bowl


Chickpea Tuna Poké Bowl - seasoned sushi rice with chickpea tuna, avocado, mango and veggies, drizzled with sriracha mayo.


Chickpea tuna or Chuna, is such a delicious vegan alternative, chickpeas mashed with vegan mayo, capers, sweetcorn, dill and a little sriracha - a perfect high protein and fibre filling for a sandwich or this poké bowl.


This bowl is full of fresh veggies, with a little sweetness from the mango, tanginess and spice from the kimchi and creaminess from the sriracha mayo. With plenty of flavour and texture, you can't go wrong with this bowl as a lunch or dinner.
