    Apple

    Contains pectin, a soluble fibre that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, helping maintain a healthy digestive balance. The vitamin C and polyphenols in apple also act as antioxidants, protecting against cellular damage from oxidative stress.

    💛
    Passionfruit

    Rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, fibre and iron. Passionfruit contains piceatannol, a compound linked to improved insulin sensitivity, and its seeds provide additional fibre and omega-6 fatty acids that support skin health.

    ❤️
    Goji Berries

    One of the most antioxidant-dense foods in the world — containing zeaxanthin that specifically protects eye health, as well as polysaccharides that support immune function. They also provide complete protein for a dried fruit.

    🎃
    Pumpkin Seeds & Chia Seeds

    Together these tiny seeds deliver complete protein, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc and magnesium. They build cells, repair tissue and carry oxygen to recovering muscles — making this bowl as functional as it is beautiful.

    Amanda's note

    This poke bowl brings nutrients from a genuinely impressive variety of fruits and seeds. The apple's pectin feeds good gut bacteria — important because we're constantly building up bad bacteria from diet, stress and environment. We'll never be completely without bad bacteria, but by choosing gut-positive foods we can keep them balanced.

    The pumpkin and chia seeds are doing the protein and recovery work — building cells, forming antibodies, repairing tissue and carrying the extra oxygen your muscles need after training. The vanilla rice base makes this feel genuinely indulgent. A breakfast poke bowl shouldn't be this functional — but it is.
