If you’re looking for a healthier takeaway sushi really fits the bill. Whilst most sushi is pretty healthy, some dishes have added health benefits that are great for sticking to a healthier diet. Whether you’re looking for a lower calorie option, high protein or even meat free, you’ll find it when you order sushi.
To help you out, we’ve compiled a list of the healthiest sushi dishes on offer. Check them out below…
1) Sashimi
Sashimi refers to the way that the meat is sliced, so there’s loads of choice when you order. Your local sushi takeaway menu will probably feature tuna or salmon, but keep your eyes peeled for more exotic sashimi like octopus and yellowtail. As these dishes are usually made up of meat alone with a simple garnish, they’re low in calories and high in health benefits.
2) Salmon avocado roll
Prefer your meat with a little rice? A salmon avocado roll is the way to go. These tasty rolls are bursting with protein and healthy fats from both the salmon and the avocado making them ideal if you’re sticking to a diet.
3) Cucumber maki with brown rice
Brown rice has 90% more vitamin B3 and B6 than white rice and packs in an extra 60% more iron, making it the perfect choice for anyone looking for a healthy alternative. Try it in a maki roll with cucumber to keep your calorie count low, but your nutrient levels high.
4) Spicy tuna roll
Tuna is packed with antioxidants and protein, and has loads of iron, magnesium, and potassium. Not only that, it’s low in saturated fat and full of vitamin B12 and B6, plus riboflavin. Pretty impressive for a fish, right? Take advantage of the benefits and grab yourself a spicy tuna roll or two next time you order in.
5) Veggie nigiri
These pretty parcels of veggies and rice are perfect for keeping your calorie intake low. Plus, most veggie nigiri has the added benefit of vegan too. Why not get creative with your toppings and try avocado, peppers, mushrooms or tofu tonight?
