The Sushi Bowl sin Sushi (without sushi!) | Blue Zones Adapted Recipe

This is the adapted Blue Zones recipe I showcased with the Children’s Hospital staff for Wellness Wednesday!

It comes together easily. And, it’s a great bowl to ring in the spring and summer! It’s light, fresh and everyone can make their own bowl. Maybe it’s the new Taco night!?

Here are the ingredients I used, but feel free to use your favorite veggies. The sauce is optional. You can easily just drizzle some sesame oil, lime juice and soy sauce right on top in a hurry.
