Heart transplant survivor, this amazing woman was able to build her own career by posting about her healthy recipes and lifestyle that today inspire over 220k followers.

She strongly believes that food is an expression of love, that brings people together and that makes everyone happy and that can also be therapeutic: "there's nothing more magical than seeing a cake rise in the oven".

@vanillacrunnch — Lara
Researching, trying and experimenting can actually lead to something great: Lara had no idea she would have been able to launch her own blog just thanks to her love for desserts, and yet, today over 125k people follow her! She’s based in Bern, Switzerland and her goal is to make the world understand that you can balance a healthy lifestyle without giving up on taste. She inspires her followers with a plant-based diet that includes enough chocolate to keep the energy up and that can be a sustainable alternative to make a change in the world we live in.
"With the project Vanillacrunnch, I like to bring you a little bit closer to the magical world of vegan desserts, lifestyle, sport, tech and my travels." . She promotes a healthy lifestyle and she loves to create new desserts (some of them are even raw, like the one in the picture below!) that can bring happiness and wellbeing.

mrsflury — Doris Flury
Doris has been living in Switzerland for the past 10 years, she is a mother of three children and extremely passionate about food and cooking. She likes simple, healthy and family-friendly recipes that work quickly and make you happy with every bite, and her 90k followers on Instagram couldn't agree more.
In her mind, healthy eating corresponds to following a diet with as natural and as little processed food as possible: "the more natural, the better". Knowing how to choose fresh and plant-based ingredients is key for a balanced and low-cost diet. Her recipes are easy to reproduce and they usually only count a maximum of 6 ingredients, other than being extremely delicious! She wants to promote the idea that being vegan is not about eating salads, but it's about wellbeing, health, sustainability and it's also fun!
