Protein sushi rolls in 140 calories
These low carb sushi rolls with cucumber are a real protein bomb. They come with just 4 grams of carbs but have 29 grams of protein!
This low carb sushi recipe gets its protein from two sources:
- Tuna fish

Making low fat tuna salad with Greek yogurt
Drain and rinse canned tuna. In a bowl mix tuna together with Greek yogurt, lemon juice and optionally mustard.
Putting keto sushi together
First, cut cucumber in half and remove the inside with either a small spoon or knife to create a long, hollow tube.
Fill the inside of the cucumber with the healthy tuna salad you have prepared before, then slice cucumber into rolls.
Serve directly or keep in the fridge until eating. I served mine with sriracha Mayo.
