Eat to glow: this anti-inflammatory poke bowl boosts skin, gut, and energy!

Some of us have entire shelves of creams, masks, and makeup in the hope of achieving that effortless glow.

But here’s the truth no one talks about enough: radiant skin doesn’t start with what you put on your body. It starts with what you feed it from the inside.

And the most effective glow-up isn’t a product. It’s a plate.

This week, we’re bringing you a skin-loving, anti-inflammatory poke bowl packed with omega-3s, fiber, and vibrant antioxidants. Everything your body and your skin need to look and feel great.

Whether your goal is to lose weight naturally, balance your hormones, gain energy, or support a gentle detox, this recipe checks every box. And the best part? It’s simple, delicious, and ready in under 30 minutes.

Why glowing skin starts on your plate

You can exfoliate, hydrate, and layer serums every night. But if your body is inflamed or not getting the nutrients it needs, your skin will show it.

What we eat influences everything from gut health and metabolism to inflammation and the pace of aging. Sugar, refined carbs, and processed fats can speed up skin aging, disturb hormone balance, and leave you feeling tired and bloated.

But food can also heal.

Nutrients like omega-3s, plant polyphenols, fiber, and natural antioxidants do more than support detox. They feed your skin at a cellular level, helping it stay supple, hydrated, and resilient.

The anti-inflammatory twist: what makes this bowl special

This isn’t your average poke. It’s a gentle, naturopath-approved upgrade that delivers flavor, glow, and nourishment in one bowl.

Here’s what makes it special:

• Wild salmon: rich in omega-3s to calm inflammation and support clear skin and balanced hormones
• Quinoa: a complete plant protein packed with minerals and fiber for digestion and metabolism
• Edamame: high in protein, low in carbs, great for blood sugar balance and muscle support
• Mango, avocado, cucumber: rich in vitamin C, hydration, and skin-loving antioxidants
• Walnuts, pumpkin seeds, tahina: healthy fats and zinc to support detox and hormonal balance

All of this comes together in a creamy, tangy tahina-lime dressing that ties the whole bowl together.

Real benefits from real food

If you’re looking for a way to gently lose weight, improve gut health, and feel more energized this season, this anti-inflammatory poke bowl is a great place to start.

Here’s why:

• It’s naturally low in sugar and high in fiber, supporting balanced blood sugar, which is key for weight loss and hormonal stability
• It includes fiber, healthy fats and protein, helping you stay full and avoid the energy crashes of typical “diet” meals
• It’s rich in detox-supporting foods like ginger, lime, and cruciferous greens, which nourish your liver and digestive system
• It gives your skin exactly what it needs: hydration, anti-inflammatory nutrients, and minerals to rebuild from within

And above all, it’s satisfying. That means you won’t be thinking about snacks 20 minutes later or fighting cravings all day long.
