We’re sure you’ve heard about the vegan lifestyle. It’s not a diet, but a way of life. In recent years, more and more people have been making the switch to a vegan lifestyle, including many famous celebrities. The idea behind this phenomenon is to decrease, if not stop, animal cruelty and help the environment by not eating or using any animal products. Since celebrities have been more outspoken about veganism, the trend became more and more popular. Now, you might be wondering, how could one get all the nutrients they need by eating a strictly plant-based diet? Well, as it turns out, there are plenty of foods that contain no animal products that have all the nutrients we would need. Not only that but if you think you would miss certain foods too much by going vegan, there are plenty of amazing substitutes that are just as delicious as the real thing! All the same, we know that going vegan isn’t for everyone, so let’s take a look at a few celebs who did decide to make the switch.
Miley Cyrus
Miley has been very outspoken about her lifestyle for quite some time. She made the switch back in 2014, and if you take a look at her Instagram feed you would see all the delicious-looking vegan meals she posts. She’s known to have many animals, a fact which contributed to her choice to become a vegan.
Liam Hemsworth
While it makes sense that Liam would become a vegan due to Miley’s influence, it turns out that he became a vegan in 2015 once he learned about the mistreatment of animals. In addition, his close friend and costar, Woody Harrelson, has been a vegan for 30 years and suggested Liam try a vegan diet. Since then Liam has been a vegan!
Woody Harrelson
As we’ve said, Woody Harrelson has been a serious vegan for a long time now. In fact, the initial reason he became a vegan was since he would get sick after eating meat or dairy. Eventually, he cut out all animal products.
Beyonce & Jay-Z
While Beyonce and Jay-Z aren’t full-time vegans, they have encouraged their fans to give the plant-based lifestyle a try. Back in 2013, Jay-Z announced he was going to do a 22-day vegan challenge along with Beyonce. Then in 2018, Beyonce announced she was going vegan in order to prepare for her Coachella performance.
Madelaine Petsch
This is a rather unique case, but Riverdale actress, Madelaine Petsch, has been vegan her whole life. She has said that being vegan keeps her feeling healthy.
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande has been a vegan since 2013, explaining her decision by saying that she loves animals more than she loves most people. While eating out can be tricky, she sticks to what she knows.
Madonna
The iconic pop star follows a strict vegan macrobiotic diet that eliminates all meats, dairy, eggs, and wheat. The diet typically consists of cold-pressed juices, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains such as quinoa.
Jennifer Lopez
J-Lo says how going vegan has given her loads of energy. Since she eliminated meat and dairy, she’s been eating much more greens. The only thing she misses? Butter! Who wouldn’t, really?
