โ SAFETY โ raw salmon must be sushi-grade. Use flash-frozen sashimi-grade salmon (Annasea / Fresh Seas poke cubes, or Absolutely Fresh Omaha). Never use regular Sam's/Costco/Target salmon raw โ that's cooking-only. Thaw in fridge, eat within ~24h.
Quick poke bowl
- Sticky rice in a bowl.
- Cubed sushi-grade salmon (thawed) โ toss in soy + sesame oil + sriracha.
- Top: cucumber, avocado, green onion, sesame seeds, furikake, spicy mayo.

๐ฅฆ Veggie Hack
You don't like veggie taste โ get the nutrients anyway
- Blend spinach + berries into your protein shake โ can't taste it. The main move.
- Daily multivitamin โ zero-effort micronutrient insurance.
- Whole fruit (berries, banana) when you want it.
- Psyllium husk in water/shake for fiber.
Removed (per your taste): oats ยท cottage cheese ยท Bloom/SodaStream.
๐ฏ The 3 Fixes
- Plain lean protein โ boneless chicken / ground turkey / shrimp (less breaded & supplement-only).
- Veggies you can't taste โ spinach+berries shake + multivitamin.
- Cap afternoon caffeine โ 1/day; protect sleep = protect gains.
