  • Why Organic, Plant-Based Milk is the Best Choice with William Robinson

    Why Organic, Plant-Based Milk is the Best Choice with William Robinson
    Jul 23 2024
    Throughout history, milk has played a significant role in human nutrition. While convenient, commercially produced milk often undergoes heavy processing and homogenization, stripping away some of its valuable nutrients and natural goodness. Live Vessel, however, believes there's a better way. By cold-pressing fresh, raw, and organic ingredients, Live Vessel produces a variety of milk and creamers that maintain their true taste and health benefits. In this episode, Jen talks with William Robinson, Founder of Live Vessel. William started the company in 2019 after taking an online course in plant-based culinary and confectionary desserts. The pure taste and quality of homemade plant-based milk inspired him to create his own brand. William talks with Jen about his journey of creating pure, clean, plant-based milk free from fillers and artificial flavors. He shares the inspiration behind Live Vessel, the different flavors and bases of their milk, and the importance of using clean and organic ingredients in milk products. Key Takeaways [01:16] - How William started Live Vessel [07:21] - The importance of using organic ingredients [09:22] - The different milk flavors available at Live Vessel [13:06] - Why Live Vessel's milk is creamier than other milk [16:30] - How people use Live Vessel's milk and creamers. [20:19] - Why William uses raw ingredients in his milk products [21:18] - The best way to find Live Vessel's products Quotes [02:08] - "As soon as I tried making my own plant-based milk, my life completely flipped. I can't go back to the store to buy this anymore. I have to continue doing this at home." ~ William Robinson [08:19] - "I'm passionate about putting only organic foods in my body, and I want to serve my community with the same because the quality of ingredients is just outstandingly different when you taste something organic and non-organic." ~ William Robinson [21:45] - "Everyone should have a wake-up moment in their life because it really changes the way you have an outlook on everything." ~ William Robinson Links William Robinson on LinkedIn Live Vessel Ramsey Farmers Market Connect with our host Jen on Instagram Jen on Facebook Wake Up and Read the Labels!
