Autumn is here, but as days get shorter, nights get colder and skies get darker, it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. Poke House has launched the UK’s first octopus poke bowl, packed with ingredients proven to help improve moods and boost immunities.

The “Sea Kiss” bowl has been carefully created using unique items with nutritional qualities to help deal with the seasonal change both mentally and physically. A key ingredient for this is octopus, the first poke bowl of its kind using the low-calorie, lean protein.

Octopus is rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are proven to help improve moods courtesy of their ability to interact with mood-related areas of the brain. They also have anti-inflammatory properties which can help stabilise moods and prevent season changing mood swings. High in vitamin C and selenium, octopus meat also helps to give the immune system a much needed autumnal kick-start.

Mood-lifting Ingredients
With one in three Brits admitting experiencing seasonal blues as summer ends, further nutritional ingredients have been included to help lift moods this autumn. Edamame beans are proven to decrease feelings of depression by stabilising sugar levels, and the aromatic ginger oil can help relieve stress and bring forth feelings of courage and self-awareness, whilst offering a warming feeling.

Immunity Boosting Bowl
It’s not just the mind that can benefit from this seasonal poke bowl, it’s the body too thanks to its vitamin and antioxidant-rich ingredients. Whilst octopus provides vitamin C, the cherry tomatoes provide much needed vitamins A, C and E as well as Lypocene, a powerful antioxidant. The fragrant jalapeño brings vitamin K, E and antioxidant carotene to help prepare for winter.

With Autumn now begun, Europe’s leading poke restaurant is celebrating the switch in season and dropping its new seasonal bowl, on sale across its London Houses.

It really is the perfect option for those looking at ways of dealing with the change in season, offering a nutritious yet healthy option, the Sea Kiss bowl is now available at all Poke House restaurants in London.

Sea Kiss ingredients:
A nutritional balance of octopus, white rice, cherry tomatoes, edamame, potatoes, aromatic ginger oil, jalapeño dressing, parsley, and sesame seeds.
