Sweet Tuna Recipe

During the weekdays, I’m all about quick, easy, no-cook meals. I also try to focus on substituting meat for fish as often as possible, due to the immense benefits fish offer (like omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamins and minerals like selenium, phosphorus, and much more)! That’s why I love this Sweet Tuna Recipe so much!

Because of this, tuna has quickly become a regular occurrence in my meal rotation. Open a can of tuna, load it with your favorite add-ons, and you have a delicious, nutrient-dense meal in under 5 minutes. What more could you ask for?!

As long as I can remember, I’ve always enjoyed my tuna loaded, and sweet. Until recently, I thought was how everyone made canned tuna. I’ve been told I’m wrong. It seems as if most people veer towards savory tuna, but personally, I think they’re missing out!

This tuna is the perfect example of how well sweet and salty can compliment one another so perfectly, and makes it feel like you’re eating a well rounded meal, instead of just fish for lunch.

This tuna has no added sugar, and is full of fruit, and healthy fat. So, if you’re ready to learn how I make loaded sweet tuna, let’s get to the recipe!
