Review of Vegan Poke - Trader Joe's by beckyyy

Love when Trader Joe’s introduces new vegan products, especially creative ones. I think this is a lovely idea but the product could be more flavorful.

I could definitely taste the sesame oil but the other items that should have packed more of a punch were pretty bland. I added sriracha, coconut aminos and more green onion; enjoying that combo with seaweed snacks and romaine hearts was nice.

I couldn’t taste any beet flavor and the beet pieces were soft so in that way it worked as a dupe but I imagine the actual texture of poke is different. I never had “real” poke so I cannot attest to the actual likeness.

My guess is that whilst marinating the beets soaked up the flavors and the beet flavor and seasonings cancelled each other out a bit? 🤷‍♀️

If you liked poke or like vegan poke I’d say give it a shot but be prepared to doctor to your taste if needed.
