Food, Travel, People and…. Plant Protein!

For those you that don't know me, my name is Brett Cobley (or epivegan on Instagram)... In 2018 I made the decision to sell my house, my possessions and quit my job in the pursuit of following my passions, goals and freedom. In 2018, I spent the year travelling and cooking, and I recently launched my first vegan cookbook called 'What Vegans Eat?'.

For anyone that knows me or my lifestyle, you will notice I don’t tend to stay in one place for long. My three biggest passions are: food (obviously), travel (you guessed it!), and people. They’re all linked of course. I think I list them in reverse whenever I talk about them, because I travel to meet people and cook them food to make them happy. That isn’t something I have always known about myself. 

Anyway, because I am constantly on the go: Dubai, Belgium, Italy, Norway, and even Los Angeles in the last few months - I run! I run as much as I can actually, to a point where I probably don’t take as many breaks as I should… I know I should take more care of my body as this can increase the risk of injury, so I’ve made it my mission to turn that around and start taking care of myself. That is one of the reasons I have started to work with For Goodness Shakes! A brand that offer dairy free vegan protein drinks in tetra packs so you can get your protein fix on the go. 

I’m not one to buy into the myth that you must hit a certain level of protein each day to be healthy. However, being vegan did make me realise that we do all need protein to repair and grow, which is especially important when you run as much as I do. That’s why getting a 20G hit of protein from For Goodness Shakes Plant Protein shake per day is a great way for me to get my protein in when I am on the move. It helps that they taste great: Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla. I have tried all three and really rate them. They taste really good and don’t have any of the chalky texture or after taste that some protein drinks have. 

If you are looking for protein (especially on the go!) then I would recommend giving For Goodness Shakes a try! You can use EPIVEGAN10 for a little discount. Let me know how you get on by dropping me a DM or comment on my Instagram page…
