I’m always on the hunt for dishes where I can incorporate quinoa. Quinoa sushi, quinoa granola, quinoa with shrimp & kale – the FoodFash archives are filled with this protein and fiber packed grain. So when I received a shipment of Village Harvest’s Organic Benefit Blends, I couldn’t wait to dream up another quinoa dish that was special enough for one of these blends.
The perfect recipe came to mind after having poké bowls twice in one week {one on a bed of greens and the other on a bed of rice}. Why not recreate this classic Hawaiian dish at home with the Ancient Grains blend? Fresh seafood, raw veggies, and a blend of quinoa, millet, and buckwheat sounded like an incredibly refreshing, feel-good meal for the peak of summer.
An added bonus is that knowing Village Harvest’s background will also make you feel good. As a company, they define social sustainability to not only mean caring for our planet, but also their employees.
- Village Harvest has pledged 1% of their profits to run programs that give back to the farmers and local communities from which they source their products.
-
Village Harvest has pledged to donate 1% of their employees’ time to charitable causes and sustainability efforts.
How wonderful is that!
I used the Ancient Grains blend for this recipe, but I’m willing to bet that the Antioxidant and Protein blends would be delicious in this recipe as well.

YUM, this looks fabulous! Poke is so expensive to buy out so I’d love to start making it at home. Where do you usually source your sushi grade fish?
Thank you! If you ask the seafood department at Central Market for sushi grade tuna, they’ll grab you some from the back. They come in pre-cut, frozen packages. I believe 12 oz was about $16. It honestly comes out to about the same price as eating out, but definitely satisfying to make it at home!
