Spicy Carrot Poke Bowls

Spicy Carrot Poke Bowls

I saw on @savoringtheflavoring's feed the other day that she was inspired by @iamtabithabrown to utilize carrot pulp from juicing instead of spicy tuna to make poke bowls! I have been juicing quite a bit lately, so I had to try this! I admit I wasn't certain I would like it because sometimes carrots are a bit sweet for me (and I love spicy tuna!) but I ADORED this! It is truly a simple recipe- it's really just assembling and mixing a few ingredients, but it's packed with flavor! So whether you're vegan, don't like fish, or simply want to try something new...this if for you! :) 

If you don't have a juicer, don't fret! You can make this with grated carrots as well, it just requires some extra elbow grease. :) For recipes, tips, and holistic nutrition information, follow along on Instagram @Mirabella Holistic Health!
