Jump to RecipeI love quick, healthy, simple recipe with my busy schedule for a healthy Mounjaro meal & healthy Zepbound meal. With 23+ grams of protein for each protein-packed sushi roll that is easy, high protein lunch or dinner will feed you or your family with low effort.
I have so much respect and admiration for the Asian culture. I wanted to create a high protein content sushi roll as a Mounjaro meal option that was focused on my high-protein mission with my Mounjaro weight loss journey.
This protein meal is so simple with the great flavor with health benefits.

My eight yar old, the Duke, LOVES making these with me!
The best part is you can make this to so many different ways for different people eating the meal. Someone wants less rice, great! Someone wants a california roll, great! Just add cream cheese!

Someone wants just an avocado roll, great! Just make it with avocado, seaweed wrap and rice!
High Protein Sushi Rolls
And if someone wishes for cucumber rolls, great! Just make the roll with cucumber, seadweed wrap and rice!
The extra protein is one of my favorite healthy Mounjaro meal ideas. You can double the high-protein for different types of sushi rolls. Simply cut the portion sizes the way you would like.

The delicious Mounjaro meal perfect for my Mounjaro -79lb (so far!) weight loss journey.
The homemade high-protein sushi rolls can be made a few different ways for high protein options other than my recipe below. You could also add if you wished for a great source of protein:
- Switch white rice for brown rice or cauli rice.
- Make sushi rice instead of white rice.
- Switch a different type of fish like raw tuna for the crab I used. (Be mindful about raw fish and raw seafood to properly prepare)
- Add miso soup to accompany the sushi rolls.
- Make tempura rolls with battered frozen, tempura shrimp
- Add pickled ginger.
- Chop up bell pepper to include.
- Top with green onions
- Add sweet potatoes
- Top with sweet sauce

Some other high-protein sushi options and common types of sushi you could make are:
- Cucumber sushi rolls
- California rolls
- Philly roll
- Tofu quinoa sushi roll
- Add sea bass, shrimp tempura or other types of fresh fish
- Maki rolls
- Make a seaweed salad
- Rainbow roll
- Spice tuna roll
- Alaska roll
- Nigiri sushi
Protein Roll Sushi

When I realized I didn’t have any tools to make my sushi rolls, I ran to Amazon. I ordered this SUSHI MAKING KIT. (SHOP HERE)
The sushi making kit turned out to be the best choice as it made the sushi ingredients easily roll together for my sushi meal.
I was surprised because in addition to the rolls, I could make nigiri sushi and also maki rolls with the kit. It came with a bamboo mat.
I love getting the fresh ingredients with the healthy fats of the avocado.

I also ordered my Nori Sheet/Seaweed Wraps on Amazon as my rural Virginia grocery store didn’t have any. (SHOP HERE)
I wanted to ensure I had nutrient-rich food with high-quality protein. One of the most popular sushi rolls is a California Roll. (My 8 year old LOVES these and so do I!).

And I ordered a rice cooker as I wanted to ensure I didn’t burn my rice. (Hello, I am the Muppet’s Swedish Chef for cooking! I like easy!) (SHOP HERE)
I ended up buying jumbo lump crab as I didn’t want imitation crab meat as my main ingredient and highest protein source for the roll.
We also loved the Light Saber Chopsticks for fun, too! (SHOP HERE)

The beautiful part about this recipe is you can totally modify it to your tastebuds. You can modify your protein intake, use lean protein or less protein.
You could even make a vegan sushi recipe off of mine above. The great part is this is a good source of omega-3 with important nutrients. It’s a great option to get excellent source of protein with fewer calories.
