Who is this Samantha Shorkey chick anyway?

Well, I hate to label myself but it’s probably obvious that I’m a vegan fitness freak who’s passionate about promoting a plant-based diet to the masses!

I've also been a certified personal trainer for 13 years (and group fitness instructor) who not only “talks the talk” but walked the walk for many years too (in 6” clear, plastic stripper shoes) as a vegan bikini competitor.

My biggest claim to “vegan fame” was winning first place in my first-ever fitness competition in 2013 then earning my pro card (just one year later) in Austin, Texas at the INBF South Western Natural Championships– making me the first-ever vegan WNBF bikini pro!

With all of this experience under my (pleather) belt, I then released an eBook geared towards vegan bodybuilders and vegan bikini competitors called “Jacked on the Beanstalk: Plant-Based Fuel for Vegan Athletes" and published my first print cookbook in 2020 titled "The Vegan Bodybuilder's Cookbook."

I hope you dig my style and poke around my website.  And please don’t be a stranger!  I love hearing from other vegans or anyone who is veg-curious so hit me up at sam at jackedonthebeanstalk dot com.
