E.66 Loui Blake; Turning Plant-Based Changed His Life and Career Overnight
In my kitchen this week I am joined by Loui Blake who has pioneered the plant-based space since he turned Vegan nearly 10 years ago and has never looked back. Loui started off by working in the nightlife industry and also recruitment to which he then fell into some unhealthy habits which resulted in chronic fatigue and burnout. After researching many diets and ways of changing his lifestyle in order to have more energy he came across Dr. Sebi's Alkaline Plant-Based diet which he did for a month and has never looked back since.
After witnessing the results of the plant-based diet first hand Loui wanted to tell the world about how amazing he felt and in doing so he decided to re-direct is career to promoting the plant-based diet. This started with his first restaurant in Norwich called Erpingham House which was one of the first plant-based restaurants in the area, although a challenging journey it didn't put Loui off opening more restaurants in Norwich and London. Loui has founded Kalifornia Kitchen and Vegan Dough Co, as well as being a partner in by CHLOE.
Loui also has an impressive investment portfolio including brands such as Floozie, Club Cultured and his most recent investment into Miami Foods, to which he is now the CEO.
Miami Foods is an alternative protein brand which focuses on clean and natural ingredients, as quoted by Miami Foods, 'great tasting food, without the bad stuff'. After launching it in the UK Loui is now expanding into UAE as well as many other international markets.
As you can see Loui has quite the portfolio in the plant-based space and therefore this was a fascinating conversation where we covered the following topics:
