My current fave youtube plant based person - Banana Blondie!
Love her, her food, her gorgeous little girl, and her 3 beautiful dogs.
I need to go out for some (lots!) of bananas, persimmons, and mangoes!!!
Oh, and I have to try her salad dressing

She's does the sexy yoga, 4sho!
Beautiful Instagram, as well.

I just watched one of her youtubes which she shot just a few days ago, railing against the yoga clothing companies (well, she talks about food, yoga clothing, and bikinis). She does have a beautiful yoga practice! And obviously a beautiful face and body.
I like her spirit and vitality., and her personal philosophy.
I am drawn to one of her eating styles which she seems to prefer these days - fruit all day, and then salad (lovely salad with greens, beans, avocado, her balsamic, mustard, maple syrup dressing) followed by potatoes in the evening. It really appeals to me. Gonna give it a go!

Banana Blonde used to follow Freelee the Banana Girl.
Backstory:
Freelee & her BF, Durianrider, were huge within the raw vegan world.
They created what is affectionately call "Raw Til 4"...meaning
raw until your evening meal, which is heavy in starch.
I, like 1,000x of others, tried the fruit/veg only during the day,
....but m.a.n.y found it just wasn't satiating enough.
Give it a go, see how you like it. But be mindful you might be
reaching for more nuts.seeds.avocado, thus increasing your fat intake,
to reach your satiation factors & calorie requirements.
Another instagrammer which follows this protocol
is Fruit Gypsy...she's an actress/comedian for Univision.
Pretty lady.

Love the background info on these peeps.
I hear what you're saying. I have my concerns about the all fruit until dinner thing. Just sounds appealing to me right now. Maybe it's the late summer heat.
P.S. Which just reminded me of how I ate all summer long when I was in my 20's. At least on the weekends where I spent all of my time on the beach. Fruit all day and then whatever in the evening for dinner. As I recall, I was usually too pooped from bodysurfing to care much about dinner. But that was then. I'm inland these days so not too much opportunity to get beat up by the surf on Saturdays and Sundays!

Man, I could give you the skinny on alll these peeps.
The raw world is like one big family...and lots of drama!
tidbit: Banana Blonde cusses like a sailor!
tidbit: BB used to date Jay Oliveria, who is a competitive martial artist, and a wonderful example of a PB athlete. That genre of vegan really attracted the athletic sector since Freelee/Durianrider were athletes themselves...that's what attracted me to the lifestyle. I know Jay is doing more cooked veg/starch these days...and I believe he won a World Jui-Jitsu championship recently. I do know he very well versed with PB info...he might be a good resource for you.

Hahaha, I was going to warn people about Banana Blondie's propensity for the f word, you know, if they were offended by it. I'm not one of those people, so she doesn't bother me. So she's not dating Oliveira any longer? I've seen some of their videos together. They were pretty cozy. lol, I've been watching a lot of youtubes the last couple days. I passed my exam (with flying colors!!! she brags to anyone who cares - haha) and have been chilling out for a bit before I have to get serious again with work related stuff.
I watched a video of Jay a few days ago, saying how he hated Dr. Gregor now for showing how badly a lot of rice is saturated in arsenic.
