Our 15 Favorite Vegan Instagrams
Fill your feed with the prettiest of the plant-based food world
If you have an Instagram account, you no doubt know there's no shortage of mouthwatering, food-loving Instagram feeds to follow (hint: we have one) whether you're into sweets and pastries, coffee, or even food-minded design and decor.
But for those who've given up animal products, whether for ethical or personal reasons, many of the these accounts aren't too helpful, and can be off-putting to the animal-product-averse. Rest assured: some of our favorite Instagram accounts are 100 percent vegan and vegetarian friendly.
From plant-based bloggers to big-name chefs and restaurants, here are the ethically sound, sustainability-minded, meat-free vegan Instagram accounts that we love.

The Minty Anne (@themintyanne)
Los Angeles-based college student and photographer Krystal runs the plant-based blog Minty Anne. Though she eschews the label "vegan," she's a big-time champion of the lifestyle, which she said has made her healthier, happier, and more goal-driven than ever before.
