It has given me a great understanding of myself and our environment. I couldn’t imagine living me life any other way.”

“Being a professional surfer I am always om the hunt for convenient, high-protein plant-based meals which is why I am super excited to have teamed up with Ruffie Rustic Foods who are changing the game when it comes to high-protein, plant-based ready meals.”
