One important factor to keep in mind when creating any bariatric dish is, if your recipe calls for produce be sure to select the freshest fruits and vegetables you can find. This will contribute to bringing in additional flavor which can help you limit spices or seasonings that bring extra calories. For this recipe in particular, we used fresh mangos, cucumbers, and avocados which blended perfectly with our Ahi tuna.
Seafood lovers will be obsessed, and for those who are hesitant to expand their seafood pallet, this dish is the perfect gateway dish to opening up to other seafood recipes. Not only is tuna much simpler to work with if you’re a novice in planning meals around seafood but tuna itself is great for those of you that are in the soft food stage and beyond.
In our recipe, we used Safe Catch Wild Ahi, Yellowfin Tuna. Safe Catch is a trusted brand and a personal WLS Afterlife favorite. Safe Catch is a brand that tests each tuna that they catch. They are best known to have fish with the lowest mercury levels. They are certified kosher, contain zero additives and their fish is lean protein. If you’re living life post-bariatric surgery, we highly recommend their products.
