Catch Ups In My Kitchen

This week I am joined by Hannah McCollum the Founder of ChicP which is one of the brands I stock at Greedy Vegan. Not only has Hannah launched a delicious product which tastes amazing and has amazing health benefits, but it is also part of a sustainability mission that Hannah continues to fight which is food waste. Every pot of Hummus includes vegetables which aims to minimise food waste.Hannah's background in events and hospitality opened her eyes to a whole world of food waste which she couldn't stand to be apart of, so she quit her job and researched ways in which we can all do our bit to combat this huge ongoing problem. Hannah's favourite way to reduce the food she personally wasted was to blend up any veggies which were leftover into a hummus in order to create a dip of the day! This is how ChicP was born!This conversation is so interesting and I feel that everyone will take something from this, whether it is that they need to go and try some ChicP products, or they are going to cut back on the food they waste by freezing, blending or baking it! I hope you enjoy itFollow 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.

This week I am joined by Nutritionist Holly to answer and discuss some common queries and doubts about being Plant-Based. I often get asked a lot of questions about the Plant-Based diet and whilst I have a small Nutritional background it is not the same as a qualified nutritionist so Holly shines some light on some key questions!We discuss the following topics:- Why is Protein so important when you are on a Plant-Based diet?- Do Plant-Based consumers get all of their Vitamins and Minerals- What should Plant-Based look to Supplement with or do they even need to supplement?- Are Plant-Based Alternative Proteins healthy?If you have ever asked yourself or anyone else one of these questions - give this episode a listen!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.

This week I am joined by Lydia who is known on Instagram as @lydslife where she discusses her skin journey and battle through an extreme case of eczema. In this episode although we discuss how food hugely affects your skin, we also highlight that food isn't the only way to achieve health. Instead it is a balance between eating good food, sleeping well and having a positive state of mind through surrounding yourself with the right people and doing things that you enjoy. Through Lydia going through her skin journey and trying anything and everything to cure her eczema she realised that instead of it being just one thing it was the combination of everything which ultimately cured her and this holistic approach to wellbeing is something that we discuss further in this episode. Follow Greedy Vegan on Instagram - @greedyveganltdFind out more 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 am joined by Ella, the co-founder of Griddle, a challenger brand to the traditional bakery product. Griddle came about after Ella and her co-founder Sophie, really enjoyed their weekend breakfasts of making pancakes and waffles when living together, but noticed there was nothing on the market in terms of a quick pancake and waffle fix in the morning which you can buy from a supermarket without it being full of preservatives. This is when Griddle came about, the plant-based, low sugar pancake and waffle which only needs to be popped into the toaster before it is fluffy and fresh. I found this conversation with Ella so interesting as we discussed the pancake and waffle market as a whole, the freshness of the frozen isle and the effect that sugar has on children and child obesity. For all those foodies out there who love discovering new brands, this ones for you!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 wanted to talk about the plant-based world from a different perspective, which is the perspective of Chris Slocombe who works at Longman Cheese and has been in the industry for 25 years. In this episode we hear from an expert about how cheese came about and how you make cheese, whilst also discussing some common debates such as the amount of emissions produced from feeding cattle and whether the plant-based diet is sustainable. Lastly, I used the opportunity of being with a cheese expert to do some taste testing of a brand that I may be stocking at Greedy Vegan in the future.Whether your a cheese lover or not, this is hugely insightful and one I think you will love!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.

This week I am joined by Gracie Tyrrell the co-founder of the Squirrel Sisters which is a no sugar snack brand. This episode is so inspiring as we discuss the journey that Gracie has been through from creating the first bar in her Nutri-bullet for her sister Sophie, who had been diagnosed with a life threatening heart disease and therefore couldn't have any sugar, to now having it stocked in some of the biggest retailers in the UK such as Ocado, Wholefoods and Planet Organic. We also discuss hidden sugars and how although we may think that a "healthy snack bar" may be "healthy" there really are a lot of hidden sugars in products that we don't realise are there. I hope this episode teaches you something, whether it is the real graft of a start-up or whether it's to look into what you are eating. 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.

This week I was joined by Caterer, Food Blogger and Chef, Georgia Hearn who is also known on Instagram as Clean Geeg. Throughout this episode Georgia openly discussed her own relationship with food from her teenage years relying on Slim Fast Shakes and dieting to now finding a positive, sustainable and happy balance. In this episode we highlight the importance of educating yourself on food and where it comes from, whilst also getting the inside scoop of life as Clean Geeg. From her catering jobs to teaching it's fair to say that Georgia is changing people's lives with food one meal at a time. Follow Greedy Vegan on Instagram - @greedyveganltdFind out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan at www.greedyveganltdTo find out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan head to our Website or follow us on Instagram or Tik Tok @greedyveganltd Hosted on Acast.

It was so interesting to be joined by Digby Edgely this week and to hear his honest story about his relationship with food and how with help from a nutritionist his approach to food has completely changed resulting in more balance and an overall happiness. For those who don't know Digby is best known for his appearance on Reality TV show Made In Chelsea and his now international modelling career, whilst also being the co-founder of a Lifestyle App called Ping. In this conversation we discuss Digby's journey from leaving school and being a Pro-Golfer, to then competing in physical shows, to personal trainer and now model! This has been quite a journey for Digby both mentally and physically with food being at the centre of it all. This episode also shows that everyone has their own views on the plant-based diet, which is totally understandable, but the most important thing is that we all know we have to cut back in some ways, whether that is just from changing the milk you have in your coffee or cutting back on the amount of animal protein you consume. I think you will enjoy this one, so if you do please like share and subscribe!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.

For my first episode we are joined by Professional England Cricket Player Sam Curran. In this episode we go back to the beginning, to Zimbabwe where Sam grew up and his upbringing has influenced his diet today, we then get a glimpse into the life of being a professional sportsman with the constant monitoring of a nutritionist, as well as hearing a day in the life of what Sam would typically eat when training and when playing important games all over the world. When it comes to Plant-Based it's fair to say that the Zimbabwe influence doesn't make it easy to cut back, however with huge influences in his life, Sam appreciates the need to cut back occasionally. I'm excited for this first episode, I think you're going to love it!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.
