Looking for something cool, colorful and crave-worthy to carry to the beach or your desk? This week’s Friday Fave is my Plant-Based Sushi Bowl, a no-heat, all-flavor kind of meal you’ll want on repeat all summer long.
Why It’s a Favorite
Fresh, crunchy, savory and satisfying, this bowl packs all the flavors you love about sushi without the rolling or fuss. Perfectly portable, no heating required and 100% plant-based.
What’s Inside:
- Your choice of cooked sticky rice, basmati or brown rice
- Crisp raw veggies (think cucumber, bell pepper, carrots, cabbage)
- Pickled ginger for that classic sushi zing
- A dusting of black sesame seeds for extra texture and visual pop
- Optional: avocado slices, nori strips or edamame
- Drizzle with gluten-free tamari or your favorite sauce to bring it all together
Wishing you a sunny and delicious Friday!

I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
