I was so excited to speak to Jim about his journey to creating this delicious Iced Coffee, we touch on the recipe creation, the coffee bean origin, the packaging and the shear graft it takes to actually launch and run a successful brand.I was also really interested to talk to Jim about Coffee as a whole, we all hear so many different things about how many coffee's we should have a day and whether caffeine is or isn't bad for you, so I wanted to hear it from Jim's perspective. Lastly, it wouldn't be a Greedy Vegan podcast without talking about the plant-based movement and so we discussed the world of plant-based milks, the trend towards oat based coffee's and what could be next for Jimmy's Iced Coffee.These are only a few of the many topics we discussed! It was an absolute honour to speak to Jim and I'm really excited to watch the brand grow!If you haven't tried a Jimmy's Iced Coffee, this is your sign to do so!To find out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan follow us at @greedyveganltd or visit our website at www.greedyvegan.ukCATCHUPS40 - 40% off your first order on Greedy Vegan To find out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan head to our Website or follow us on Instagram or Tik Tok @greedyveganltd Hosted on Acast.

This week I am joined by Former England Rugby player Olly Barkley. Olly had a very unique journey where he went straight into playing for England which then led him to play for Bath with a very long and successful career which lasted 15 years! I was really looking forward to speaking to Olly about his diet when playing professional rugby compared to his diet now, as well as his thoughts on the plant-based movement and whether he believed that you could play a high impact sport professionally whilst on a predominantly plant-based diet.  This conversation was so interesting,  Olly's knowledge and passion on the topics were so inspiring as we discussed the following topics:- Olly's career journey and how he got there- Calorie intake whilst in training for a professional sport - Nutritional guidance- The power of food for recovery, maintenance and growth - Learning about how your personal body works and develops- Supplements - Plant-Based and Flexitarian Follow Greedy Vegan on Instagram - @greedyveganltdFind out about becoming a Greedy Vegan at www.greedyvegan.uk To find out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan head to our Website or follow us on Instagram or Tik Tok @greedyveganltd Hosted on Acast.

This week I am joined by Bari who is a qualified dietician, an author of a book called The No Nonsense Guide To Health and Nutrition and the Host of the Podcast Forking Wellness.In this episode we discuss what wellness really is, with the theme that it is different to everyone and with everything that we see in the media today such as 'what I eat in a day' or the guide to a healthy lifestyle, it is actually all really toxic! As what looks like healthy to one person, won't be the same for another. We also have a really interesting conversation about Veganism and how it isn't for everyone, but that doesn't mean that you can't cut back. Veganism as a word has a horrible reputation and people feel afraid of it and don't want to commit to it! Bari is a prime example of a super healthy person who is amazing at cooking where Veganism doesn't work for her. But if you look at her diet it is probably 70% Vegan.For the link to Bari's podcast and book please find them below:BookPodcastFollow Greedy Vegan on Instagram - @greedyveganltdFind out about becoming a Greedy Vegan at www.greedyvegan.ukTo find out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan head to our Website or follow us on Instagram or Tik Tok @greedyveganltd Hosted on Acast.

This week I was joined by actress and foodie Daisy Wood Davis to talk about the relationship with food on the sets of films, shows and TV, whilst also talking all things food. Having no idea about the culture in the film industry myself,  I was so intrigued about whether there was a stigma around food or whether it brought the cast together and created memories. It sounds like in Daisy's experience it is definitely a facilitator for memories. As well as being an Actress Daisy has a love of food which is clearly portrayed in this episode as we discussed things from the Plant-Based movement as a whole, to restaurant recommendations in London, to Supper Clubs to even whether or not you should bring up your child on a Plant-Based diet if you are Plant-Based yourself.This one calls out to all foodies!Follow Greedy Vegan on Instagram - @greedyveganltdFind out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan at www.greedyvegan.uk To find out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan head to our Website or follow us on Instagram or Tik Tok @greedyveganltd Hosted on Acast.

In this episode I am joined by Harry Turpin, who is on a mission to create a savoury snack bar for the masses. Harry's bubbly personality really shines through in this episode as we discuss his journey to identifying the large gap in the market which was a savoury snack bar. Sugar has always defined snacking, from chocolate bars to protein bars to even snack bars, they are always made with date paste, honey or dried fruits, and although tasty it will still leave you with that afternoon slump. The Savouritsts aim is to change that and with Harry's vision and personality I am excited to see them grow.Not only is Harry's journey really interesting but he also took on the Dragon's in this years Season of Dragon's Den. In this episode we unpick the behind the scenes of his experience and he explains the brave decision for changing the product right before entering the Den. There is so much in this episode that you're going to love, which if you do, please like, share and subscribe. Follow Greedy Vegan on Instagram - @greedyveganltdFind out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan at www.greedyvegan.uk To find out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan head to our Website or follow us on Instagram or Tik Tok @greedyveganltd Hosted on Acast.

In this episode I am joined by Stu who founded Mani-Life the tastiest Peanut Butter on the market. This episode not only dives deep into the ups and downs of growing this incredible brand but also dives into a bit about Stu's life and how one of his biggest struggles growing up has set him up with the skills to tackle any challenge that comes his way. When it comes to looking at a successful brand it is important to look at the founder which is why I was so interested in this part of Stu's life and I'm so grateful for Stu being so honest and open in this episode. There are also some outrageously tasty recipes described in this episode, which I have linked below, so give those a try and tag @manilife_ and @greedyveganltd if you happen to re-create them.https://www.mobkitchen.co.uk/recipes/bacony-packet-noodlesFollow Greedy Vegan on Instagram - @greedyveganltdFind out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan at www.greedyvegan.uk To find out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan head to our Website or follow us on Instagram or Tik Tok @greedyveganltd Hosted on Acast.
