Missing your weekly sushi fix? This Whole30 Smoked Salmon Sushi Bowl will ease your craving with minimal carbs and maximum flavor!
If I can recommend one thing to get you through your Whole30 month, it’d be to find recipes that somewhat mimic your favorites. For me, that’s spaghetti and sushi. That’s how I landed on this Whole30 Smoked Salmon Sushi Bowl.
My spaghetti was taken care of by subbing spaghetti squash and my sushi fix was taken care of with this Whole30 Smoked Salmon Sushi Bowl!
If you asked Matt, he would say that the hardest part of Whole30 has been making sure that he’s eating enough at mealtimes to hold him over until the next one.
Technically, you’re not supposed to do much snacking on Whole30, but he’s definitely made sure that he has plenty of Rx Bars, beef sticks, and hard-boiled eggs on-hand at all times.
I mentioned in my last Whole30 recipe that this part had been difficult for me, but I finally got in the groove of making filling meals. It’s definitely easier for someone like me who works from home as opposed to someone in an office setting.
For me, the hardest part has been constantly thinking about food. I hate that it’s always on my mind and it’s weird having a feeling like some foods are “toxic”.
One time, I accidentally licked Norah’s yogurt off my finger, and then I literally washed my mouth out because I didn’t know if it would skew the results. Don’t get me wrong, the good has FAR exceeded the negative, but I do think that it’s something to keep in mind.
If you’ve ever had disordered eating at all, I don’t think I would recommend it. That being said, I’ve learned so much about my eating habits and the insanely added ingredients in food. Our last day is a week from today, so I’ll definitely be doing a post with our final thoughts and a rundown of the month.
Back to this sushi bowl. I love that you can totally customize it based on your favorite roll. You can switch out the smoked salmon for crab, shrimp, or do all veggies! What is your go-to sushi roll? It’s definitely one of the meals I’m looking forward to most!
