10 Plant-Based YouTubers We Love
I’ve been watching YouTube videos for help to learn how to apply makeup, cook, and do all sorts of basic, everyday things since I was in 7th grade. Now that I’m in college, I love learning from the plant-based YouTubers cooking up amazing fare. These innovative content creators have impacted my plant-based journey in a big way — and I want to share them with you.
Here are 10 vegan YouTubers who are hitting the mark with delicious recipes and even science-based information on the health benefits of a plant-based lifestyle:
Healthy Crazy Cool
I love Miles Kasiri, the YouTuber behind Healthy Crazy Cool, because he is a certified nutritionist who has a passion for sharing his healthy, plant-based eating habits with the world. Miles has many videos addressing a plant-based approach to issues like weight loss, fiber and nutrient deficiencies and general holistic healing through eating a whole-food plant-based diet.
Cheap Lazy Vegan
YouTuber Rose creates incredibly delicious and inexpensive plant-based meals that are nutrient-dense and easy to recreate. She really gives a powerful argument that anyone can eat plant-based — even when on a budget. With more than 1,000 videos, she has tons of different inexpensive, healthy recipe videos for plant-based foods. Rose is engaging and relatable to the younger YouTube community (especially college students), but her videos are great for all ages.
Jordan Waddell
Previously mentioned in our post on plant-based eating in college, Jordan shares tips on everything from meal prep to working out, hormone-balancing meals, mood-boosting dishes, sugar-balancing plates and other healing plant-based recipes and how-tos. She delivers concise information and her spirited, knowledgeable, healthy-from-the-inside approach is captivating.
Jordan isn’t flashy and gets straight to the point. Not only will Jordan show you amazing plant-based recipes, but she’ll explain why they’re beneficial to the nourishment and healing of our bodies — as her adorable golden retriever, Jackson, looks on.
MommyTang
MommyTang is a fun, lively influencer who shares funny stories about her life, while she cooks and eats “mukbang” style in her videos. She shares her vegan, Korean-style recipes and food with her followers, with an emphasis on family-friendly dishes. If you’re looking for a YouTuber who’s light, witty, and entertaining, MommyTang is your go-to.

Mic brings a scientific approach to a plant-based diet.

Jess Beautician
Jess creates beautiful and inspiring meals. She is best known for her “What I Eat in a Day/Week” videos that showcase her choices to help inspire and motivate her followers. She is a great resource for meal prep tips or just to kick back and enjoy a fun cooking video — if that’s your flavor.
Avant-Garde Vegan
Gaz Oakley is a chef who perfected his art in the traditional culinary world for three years before turning to veganism — and video-making. With millions of views, Gaz serves delicious, (often gourmet) recipes to his viewers. If you’re looking to really wow a crowd or impress a date, Gaz is your guy.
Rachel Ama
Rachel is a vegan YouTuber based in the U.K. She curates simple dishes with an Carribean twist, and teaches her viewers how to cook each recipe on-screen. Rachel’s glowing beauty, infectious energy, and witty personality will pull you in as she rattles off funny one-liners about veganism and life as a YouTuber. Not only does Rachel offer cooking videos, she also offers fun lifestyle videos to mix it up.
Bosh!
With a successful blog and cookbook, Henry and Ian, the duo behind Bosh! bring all their recipes to life on YouTube. Their recipes look so mouth-watering, you’ll be eager to cook up any of their dishes.
Their funky tunes will really get you in the mood to cook and create in the kitchen, too. The videos are super easy and simple to follow along, and they have a HUGE variety of fare for every palette. The cooks are U.K.-based, so if you’re in the mood for British-inspired plant-based noshes, these guys are for you.
