Nat sat down with Lloyd Rose (aka @plantcrazii), a vegan content creator who's been doing amazing things on Instagram and has a new cookbook coming out at the end of the summer. We're putting good vibes out into the world with this conversation, talking about Lloyd's journey from meat-eater to living a plant-based life, pushing back on how veganism is portrayed in the media, building mutual spaces online, and the vulnerability of being an influencer.

Chocolate Banana Dream Bites
Here’s one version of chocolate banana dream bites…
…and here’s the kitchen reality check! 😆
The key is to freeze your frozen banana treat on wax paper or you’ll lose some of the delicious dark chocolate you’ve worked so hard to melt and work with.
Ingredients:
Dark chocolate of your choice, melted
A splash of plant milk
2 bananas cut into rounds
How to:
Melt chocolate over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Add plant milk once the chocolate is smooth and fully melted, stirring in until incorporated.
Using a fork or a toothpick, dip your banana rounds in the chocolate and then transfer them to a piece of wax paper.
Place then chocolate covered treats in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours or overnight. Keep frozen and enjoy for days!
