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.

She really gives a powerful argument that anyone can eat plant-based — even when on a budget.

Rose is engaging and relatable to the younger YouTube community (especially college students), but her videos are great for all ages.

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.

    Thanks Maggie for this informative article! It’s good for me to see the ideas, and recipes from other vegans. I’ve been a vegan now for two years and I’m really enjoying it. I’ve always been very much into nutrition and I’ve been a vegetarian (and accomplished chef) for most of my life. Help me to understand why so many influencers are so hard on ex-vegans and they tend to do videos of criticizing and bashing the x’s decisions. Isn’t being a vegan also about respecting humans as well? For me, going vegan also means giving your fellow humans- as well as animals – a break! I have friends and family that are meat eaters, vegans, vegetarians, kosher, etc. It would be hypocritical of me to force my ideas on their personal choices… What’s up with that?
