Do you guys know Jackie Sobon? She runs one of my favorite blogs, Vegan Yack Attack, and is an amazing photographer. Vegan Bowl Attack is her very first book and I’m so glad I get to share her recipe for Hearts of Palm Vegan “Fish” Taco Bowl with you today.

She uses hearts of palm to replace the seafood, and I love the texture. You can also get it in a regular grocery store making it easier to get your hands on than jackfruit for some of you. It’s a perfect recipe for a hot summer meal!

Vegan Bowl Attack by Jackie Sobon

In the first chapter, Attack of the Vegan Bowls, Jackie gives you some helpful tip and formulas to get you making your own bowls from scratch. But don’t worry she gives you plenty of recipes to follow along with too.

The breakfast chapter includes recipes for chai waffle stick dippers, biscuit nacho bowl, and melon madness bowl. The other chapter include snacks, soups, salads, entrees, and desserts too. There’s also a bowl essential chapter that gives recipes for sauces, seitan and more. So you’ll find a recipe for just about any kind of delicious morsel that you’re craving.

Hearts of Palm Vegan Fish Taco Bowl from Vegan Bowl Attack

Taco Tuesday is a weekly holiday that I celebrate regularly and for good reason—tacos are freakin’ awesome! I will admit, however, that sometimes I’m not into getting my hands dirty from tortillas bursting at the seams with fillings, so this “Fish” Taco Bowl is a great alternative. - Jackie Sobon (printed with permission of Fair Winds Press)
