As a woman who believes in honoring her body with beautiful, wholesome foods, I always reach for ingredients as fresh and clean as possible - that means choosing wild-caught fish when available, organic vegetables, and avoiding processed sauces. We deserve to fuel ourselves with the pure goodness that nature provides!
Fresh fish is a woman's secret to glowing skin when it comes to healthy eating.

METHOD
Start by preparing your base. Cook your brown rice or quinoa according to package directions, or arrange your fresh greens in a beautiful bowl. This is the foundation of your nourishing masterpiece!
While your base cooks, prepare your protein. If using fish, cut it into bite-sized cubes and gently toss with the marinade ingredients. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to absorb all those beautiful flavors. If using tofu, press it gently and cube it, then marinate the same way.
Prep your gorgeous toppings! Slice your avocado, cucumber, and any other fresh vegetables. Arrange everything in small bowls so you can create your perfect combination. This is the fun, creative part - make it as colorful and vibrant as you feel!
Now comes the magic - assembly time! Place your base in a bowl, then artfully arrange your marinated protein and all your chosen toppings. Create beautiful sections or mix it all together - whatever speaks to you in the moment.
Finish with your favorite touches - a sprinkle of sesame seeds, a dollop of sriracha, or some fresh herbs. Take a moment to appreciate the beautiful, nourishing meal you've created for yourself.
FOOD SAFETY NOTE: When enjoying raw fish, always choose sashimi-grade from a trusted source. Your health and wellbeing are worth investing in the highest quality ingredients!
