kanu poke: a healthy restaurant in shropshire

If you’re searching for healthy restaurants in Shropshire, Kanu Poké in Shrewsbury is a spot that focuses on fresh, vibrant, plant-based meals.

Why Variety Makes a Meal Healthier

A truly healthy meal includes a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and herbs. The more variety, the more nutrients you get — vitamins, minerals, fibre, antioxidants — all supporting your body in different ways. Colourful meals are not only visually appealing but are often the most nutrient-dense.

That’s exactly what our poke bowls aim to provide. Each bowl includes a mix of fresh vegetables, seasonal fruits, herbs, grains, and plant-based proteins, giving your body a wide spectrum of nutrients in every meal. It’s a simple way to combine balance and flavour without overthinking it.

A Few Simple Tips for Eating Healthy

When building a balanced meal, try:

• Aim for colour: More colours = more nutrients.

• Mix textures and flavours: Crunchy veggies + soft grains + fresh herbs feels more satisfying.

• Add plant-based protein: Beans, tofu, tempeh, edamame — all great for fullness.

• Include healthy fats: Seeds, avocado — they help your body absorb nutrients.

Our bowls naturally follow these principles — designed to be balanced, nourishing, and enjoyable.

Even though Kanu Poké is fully vegan, our bowls aren’t just for vegans. People from all walks of life visit because they want fresh, colourful, satisfying meals. The principles of a healthy meal — variety, balance, flavour — appeal to everyone, whether you follow a plant-based diet or just want to eat well.

Why We Wanted to Be a Healthy Restaurant in Shropshire

When we first set out to create Kanu Poké, we were absolutely certain about one thing: we didn’t want to be another place serving the usual beige, heavy, not-so-nourishing food.

We wanted to offer something different for Shropshire — something fresh, colourful, creative, and actually good for you. And because nearly everything we serve is made in-house from scratch, we don’t use harsh preservatives or weird ingredients. Our ice creams, crackers, pickles — all of it is made fresh, by hand, so we always know exactly what’s going into the food.

For us, being a healthy restaurant in Shropshire isn’t just a label — it’s simply who we are and how we cook.

Healthy & Fun Options for Kids Too

We also wanted families to feel welcome, which is why we believe Kanu Poké proudly sits among the most relaxed kid-friendly restaurants in Shropshire. Our kids’ menu includes a build-your-own poke bowl, with loads of toppings and a few main elements to choose from to help even the pickiest eaters explore new flavours in a fun, colourful way.

And for days when a treat is needed, we offer a more comforting option: our vegan chicken and waffle or curry option. It’s homemade, and loved by both kids and adults.

With a balance of nutritious bowls and fun comfort dishes, we have been told time after time that Kanu Poké has become a popular choice for families seeking family restaurants in Shropshire that offer something genuinely different.
