New healthy snack company, Benergy, has a mission statement Food Impacts Mood, as they deliver a range of healthy snack options including breakfast pots that are all plant-based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available online, in selected gyms and shops, Benergy\u2019s founders Ben Cochrane and Jessica Thompson, looked at their own lifestyles for two years and realised they needed to change their diet as the first step to become healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Ben, his work as a chef, 60 plus hour working weeks and his eating habits was leading him on a downward health spiral, when lockdown intervened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t eating breakfast, which is arguably the most important meal of the day,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I did have something to eat in the morning, it was usually a sandwich meal deal, which lacked the level of nutrition which I needed given the hours that I worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also drank a lot of energy drinks on busy shifts. While they would give me an initial boost, they\u2019d also give me sugar crashes, particularly during service. This made me tired and lethargic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the change in his diet helping with health, the decision to launch Benergy was a logical step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benergy range contains a great selection of breakfast pots to start the day off well, and a fabulous mix of treats to keep people going in between meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI now realise that breakfast provides you with the necessary fuel to start your day,\u201d Ben said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why I created these breakfast pots, to give people a \u2018grab and go\u2019 pot, which would provide them with a nutritious and delicious start to their day, regardless of time constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019re a macro-friendly breakfast: a mixture of oats, fruits and nuts that\u2019s nutritionally balanced, so they\u2019ll give you all the necessary fuel to get you through the day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For co-founder Jessica the link between good, healthy food and mental health is clear, after struggling with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour mental health is not something to be taken lightly,\u201d said Jessica. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNeglecting your mind can have a disastrous impact on every aspect of your life and on those of others in your life as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI realised that my mind and body were in a really bad place. I couldn\u2019t understand why one day I\u2019d feel great, and the next I\u2019d feel terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessica is clear that Benergy is more than good food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not simply a nutrition company,\u201d Jessica added. \u201cWe\u2019re all about educating people about food that will benefit people both physically and, most importantly, mentally, because that\u2019s where good health really begins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur products are all plant-based, gluten and dairy free, which is very unique as vegan is the world’s fastest growing food market in the world today. We don\u2019t just want to cater for one dietary requirement, we want to combine them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benergy\u2019s range includes protein balls, healthy doppelgangers of the favourite blondies, brownies and truffles, and our new breakfast pots that have proved to be our biggest hit yet
Jessica explained that the link between healthy eating and mental wellbeing is being backed up by science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cResearch undertaken by MIND in people suffering from depression showed that after they ate a banana they felt better,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is because bananas contain tryptophan: a type of protein that the body turns into serotonin, which makes you relax and generally feel happier through an elevated mood.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benergy currently offers customers a range of healthy high protein snacks<\/a> including coconut protein balls<\/a>, raspberry chocolate protein balls<\/a>, protein bites<\/a>, chocolate protein balls<\/a> and chocolate protein brownies.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
