Transitioning to a vegan lifestyle can seem like a daunting idea, but like most things in life the thought of a big lifestyle change is a lot scarier than the actual change. Here to show you the ropes is vegan foodie Michaela Vais. With more than 1 million followers on Instagram, Vais is your go-to vegan for tips, tricks, and recipes.
But if there’s one thing her Instagram proves is that vegan food doesn’t have to be bland. Her recipes even include fast food favorites like pizza, and mouthwatering desserts like her upside down plum cake and vegan cookie dough. But worry not, Vais also has some healthy vegan options that are sugar-free, gluten-free, and more importantly: easy to make.
“My goal is to show that eating plant-based food is healthy, delicious, good for our bodies and for our planet,” she declares on her website. “I believe the food Mother Nature created for us was not meant to harm our bodies, our planet and kill billions of innocent animals.”
“Going vegan was the best decision in my life,” writes Vais. “Knowing that I don’t participate in the torture and exploitation of farm animals brought inner peace to myself. I feel much more energized since eating plant-based food, I lost some weight and I cured my cystic acne!”
