Tuna Avocado Bowls : Creamy, Crunchy, and Protein-Powered


  • Author: OliviaBennett

Description

When you need a meal that’s fast, filling, and genuinely energizing, these Tuna Avocado Bowls are the answer. Made with creamy avocado, protein-packed tuna, crunchy vegetables, and a light Greek yogurt base, this bowl delivers big flavor with zero cooking required.


Ingredients

Tuna Avocado Mix

  • 2 cans tuna in water (5 oz each), well drained

  • 1 ripe avocado, diced

  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Crunchy Add-Ins

  • ½ cup diced cucumber

  • ½ cup shredded carrots

  • ¼ cup diced red bell pepper

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion (optional)

Bowl Base (Choose One)

  • 2 cups mixed greens

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice

Optional Toppings

  • Everything bagel seasoning

  • Fresh dill, chives, or parsley

  • Sriracha or chili crisp

  • Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Mix the Tuna Base

In a medium bowl, combine drained tuna, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Mix well with a fork until creamy and evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

2. Add the Avocado

Gently fold in the diced avocado, being careful not to mash it completely. You want soft chunks throughout the mixture.

3. Prepare the Veggies

Dice and shred all vegetables. If using grains, fluff them with a fork. If using greens, make sure they’re dry.

4. Assemble the Bowls

Divide your chosen base between two bowls.
Top with the tuna-avocado mixture and scatter the crunchy vegetables over the top.
Finish with any desired toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Drain tuna very well to prevent a watery mixture

  • Fold, don’t mash the avocado for best texture

  • Assemble just before eating to keep avocado fresh
