Puur Jackie is a website and blog that gives me the opportunity to show the world that a healthy lifestyle is not a punishment but rather fun, tasty and easy!

A healthy lifestyle as always been my thing so when I started at the Health & Nutrition culinary school in The Netherlands I really found my passion. I was a vegetarian for more than 24 years before I started a vegan lifestyle in 2012 and cooking has always been more than a hobby.
During my training I did an internship with a raw vegan chef who introduced me to the raw kitchen, a very clean and healthy lifestyle.

After finishing culinary school I started giving workshops, private cooking lessons and pop-up dinners with the focus on healthy vegetarian and vegan cooking.
I kept active at the culinary school as a personal assitant of the head chef and owner of the culinary school meaning I was a sous chef for catering jobs, trainer and sidekick at cooking demo’s.

The knowledge and experience that I share on my website/blog is based on my own experiences as a vegetarian and vegan and the skills I learned at the Health and Nutrition culinary school. Because I am a very active Crossfit addict my focus has been on showing that a vegan can be powerfull and active without the traditional proteine options. I practise Yoga as a perfect addition to balance my active lifestyle.

What does a healthy lifestyle mean to me:
– Making conscious choices regarding how I feed my body;
– Exercise
– Living in harmony with my surroundings and respect for animals and humans;
– Enjoy local, organic and seasonal products;
– Focus on sustainability and
– Enjoy all the beauty that nature and our beautifull earth is giving to us.

In addition to sharing nutrition facts and a lot of healthy, delicious, easy vegetarian and vegan recipes this website also provides information about the activities of Puur Jackie such as (cooking) workshops. lectures and nutritional advice tailored for athletes and people who want to make a switch to a healthy lifestyle.
