Looking for a delicious meal option you can feel good about? These salmon sushi bowls are full of flavour, and nutrients. Can you spot the all-stars? These make it count:
Salmon
A low fat, high protein meat source, salmon is rich in B12 (which keeps your blood and nerves healthy, and helps you make DNA), potassium (which helps you manage blood pressure), and most notably, omega-3 (which your body needs, but can’t make), an essential fatty acid that has been researched to strengthen your heart and brain.
Avocado
Also containing a healthy dose of omega-3s, avocados are an incredible source of nutrients including folate, magnesium and even vitamin C! Rich in healthy fats, avocados also help with satiation, helping you feel fuller, longer.
