This Tuna Poke Bowl with Mango and Quinoa is super healthy, filling and full of seasonal flavors. Sushi grade tuna with a salty dressing and a load of veggies all layered on a bed of quinoa. {gluten free}
Have you had a poke bowl yet? If not, do it today. Poke bowls are inspired by those eaten in Hawaii and are pretty simple to put together.
Take some sushi grade fish, toss with some salty dressing, layer in some veggies and throw it over sushi rice. I don’t eat rice so mine is layered on quinoa – more protein and way healthier than white rice. Trust me, you are going to love this. It’s like deconstructed sushi but has room for more veggies. This Tuna Poke Bowl with Mango and Quinoa will make you could feel good about eating the rainbow for lunch.

I got my sushi grade tuna at Whole Foods and it was delicious. It’s a little pricey so not something that I can afford to eat every day but I wish I could! Use whatever vegetables you have on hand like carrots, snow peas, cucumbers, sprouts, seaweed salad, avocado, radishes, or edamame. Add something sweet like mango and drizzle with a salty poke sauce.
I think this Tuna Poke Bowl with Mango and Quinoa will become your new favorite lunch because it’s…
- healthy
- fresh
- salty
- high in protein
- filling
- delicious!
- gluten free
I guess I’ll make my own poke bowls until someone gets me to Hawaii!

I wish I liked sushi Karen because this poke bowl looks amazing! The colors! Tom catches tuna all summer long, and I have lots of friends who enjoy sushi who I can make this for! It will be a hit I’m sure!
I want some of Tom’s fresh tuna!!
I’ve never made a poke bowl before, but I’m such a huge fan of tuna poke that I know I’m going to love this. The quinoa will really round it out to make a full meal! Beautiful!
Hope you love it Lisa!
I’ve not had one but we were out the other night and my family had mini tuna poke tacos as an appetizer, and they were loving them! The flavors are so fresh and pretty! I know they’ll love this!!
Mini tuna poke tacos sounds awesome Annie!

Thanks Nicole!
Looks gorgeous, Karen! Nice switch up using quinoa instead of rice and the mango is a lovely touch. Nice bit of sweet contrasting with the savoury flavours. This would be a super satisfying lunch right now 🙂
I love my quinoa Dawn!
I love sushi and this poke bowl looks really delicious! I would just have to substitute the mango for something else! Yummy!
Thanks Elaine!
Now this is my idea of a perfect lunch! Love the addition of the mango, yum!
Thanks Cricket!

Thanks Velva, it was so good!
This is beautiful. We have many new Poke Bowl restaurants popping up around us these days. I would like to try this. Seems healthy and delicious. Love the colors and quinoa.
I just had my first tuna poke bowl last year and fell in love, sooo yummy. Totally going to try this when I have my baby, because I’m totally craving raw fish and this delicious looking bowl!
Ahhhhmygeeersh! Every time I make ahi poke, I wonder why I don’t do it more often. It’s just sooo tasty! I’m loving these bowls with that fresh, vibrant mango! I’ll need to put this on the menu this week!
