This oatmeal banana bread is easy to make and is a creative activity for children. Mashing bananas with a fork until smooth is oddly satisfying and you can show your child that plant-based alternatives like almond milk and dairy-free butter work and taste just as good, if not better than the real thing.  The first step is simply preheating the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, then follow three easy instructions to mix the ingredients and add them to a loaf baking pan. The process will only take you five minutes then you will let your bread bake for 35 minutes as your kitchen fills with a warm, delicious scent.  Once the time is up, use a toothpick to test whether the middle of the bread is cooked through. If you want to add an optional dairy-free glaze then blend together vegan cream cheese and sugar for a cream cheese frosting. Continue

  On this episode of LIVEKINDLY With Me, Ri Turner shares her journey living with IBS, also known as irritable bowel syndrome. Plus, she shares a few of her favorite vegan recipes. “I was diagnosed with IBS about seven years ago,” Turner explains. “I’ve had this condition all of my life, but like I said, up until seven years ago I didn’t know what it was. I didn’t know what was wrong with me” ''It’s just so mindblowing to me how a simple lifestyle change can improve my digestive system, my health, and just my overall wellbeing.'' Before she went vegan, Turner says her diet was incredibly restrictive. “There were so many trigger foods, such as broccoli, cauliflower, tomato-based foods,” she says. “But once I did get the diagnosis, I actually cut out dairy. That was a huge relief for me.”
