Back in 2009, we switched to a high fruit vegan diet that’s based on fruits, veggies and nuts and seeds. We started eating 25 bananas a day in between us, and oftentimes even more!
Why?
Because we not only wanted to improve our health, but we also wanted to positively contribute to animal welfare and the environment.
In our video today we talk about how eating (about) 25 bananas a day has changed us.
