If you want the lowdown on poke bowls, get ready to be transported to a tropical paradise of delicious, fresh out-of-the nature food.

It’s like sushi in a bowl, but with more room for creativity and customization. But, if you are not into meat, or are following a vegan diet, there’s something for you. Trader Joe’s has decided to shake things up with their new Vegan Poke Bowl.
That’s right, no fish here, just veggies, the best veggies Trader Joe’s can get. The bowl includes marinated beets, edamame, carrots, cucumber, avocado, and crispy onions, all served over a bed of rice. And according to Instagram user @traderjoeslist, who tried the bowl and gave it a glowing review, the beets even mimic the texture of ahi tuna.
