Whole 30 Tuna Poke Avocado Boats

June 3, 2016 By Anya Kaats Leave a Comment

Whole 30 Tuna Poke Avocado Boats

It’s officially Day 3 of my June Whole30 and I am celebrating with a brand new recipe!

These Whole30-approved Tuna Poke Avocado Boats were inspired by my good friend Monica over at The Movement Menu. She has a Poke Boat recipe on her blog and it looked so tasty that I decided to make a Whole30 compliant version! This recipe is really simple and uses only 6 ingredients (not including the avocado). The star of the show, in my opinion, are the coconut aminos. Coconut aminos are a delicious soy and tamari alternative that is made from the sap of coconut trees. Pretty cool, right? Truth be told… even if it weren’t for the Whole30, I would probably use coconut aminos for this recipe regardless. It is definitely slightly more sweet in flavor and I always bring it with me to sushi restaurants.

In addition the coconut aminos called for in this recipe, I would definitely keep some extra on the side. Once I’ve eaten most of the tuna out of the avocado, I like to pour a bit more coconut aminos into the avocado. So delicious!

This recipe uses 1 pound of fresh tuna and yields 4 servings (two avocados per serving). If that’s too much for you or you want to make less, just cut the recipe by 1/2 or 1/4. This yield is perfect for my husband and I when we are doing a Whole30. Since snacking is discouraged on Whole30, big meals are a must. Two avocados might seem like a lot normally if you snack a lot, but I find it to be perfect for when you’re just doing 3 meals a day.

This recipe is great to eat at home, but also to pack to go! I put a little bit of extra coconut aminos in a small Lunchbots container, and it’s good to go!

But enough about that, let’s get to the recipe!
