These Are The Vegan Influencers To Follow This Veganuary

Veganuary has rolled around once again, feeding our socials with heaps of tasty, new recipes to try in a bid to explore healthier alternatives in the new year.

What began in 2014 as a challenge to get more people to try a vegan diet for just 31 days, has now become a global phenomenon with millions of people taking part. As a way of protecting the environment, preventing animal suffering and improving the general health of the population, veganism is becoming increasingly popular and a preferred dieting method for many as the years go by.

But for those who perhaps aren’t as easily persuaded by the vegan way of life, seeing plant-based meals thrust upon their Feeds in the form of Sponsored posts can run the risk of appearing a little bland.

We’re here to change that with our list of the top 15 vegan influencers to follow in 2024 across all platforms. From delectable meals to following the life of a vegan lifestyle influencer, our comprehensive guide to veganism will offer you a different perspective to that you’re used to and, who knows, just might peak your curiosity enough to give it a go yourself.

Without further ado, let’s dive in! You can also check our list of the top vegan influencers in 2023.

How To Vegan, Ep.1: Olive Oil Bechamel  This healthy, vegan version of the classic French mother sauce will see you through every lasagne, moussaka, mac and cheese or creamy mushroom pasta. It’s full of flavour from the nutritional yeast dijon and garlic powder and using a good quality olive oil will also give it a lovely depth.  1L unsweetened plant milk  130ml olive oil  100g plain flour  4 tbsp nutritional yeast  1 tsp garlic powder  1 tsp dijon mustard Method:  For the bechamel, heat a large saucepan or deep frying pan over low heat and add the olive oil and flour. Use a spatula or a whisk (take care not to use a metal whisk on a non stick coating) to stir the roux, it will thicken and clump together, but stir as many lumps out as you can. Add the milk very slowly, whisking constantly as you go to get it smooth. Keep adding milk until you have added all of it.  Add the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, dijon mustard and plenty of salt and pepper. Keep it on a medium-low heat and stir continuously for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened. It should be fairly thick. Taste and adjust seasonings.  For a lasagne or pasta sauce, the bechamel shouldn’t be to thick, but for a moussaka, you’ll need a thicker sauce that sits on the top. Moussaka recipe coming soon! x

(ve) HONEY CHILLI CHICKN ?️ So what’s important about this dish is the balance with the heat and the sweetness, rather than using honey I used agave but you can opt to use maple syrup instead. I wanted my recipe to pack a bit more heat, so sprinkled a bit of chilli flakes. INGREDIENTS Marinade – 160g choice of protein (I used @heurafoods but you can easily used tofu instead) – 3-4 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch) – Salt & White ground pepper (if not just use normal pepper) – 3 tbsp vegetable oil (enough for shallow frying) Sauce – 2 tsp chilli bean paste (doubanjiang) – 3 tsp agave or maple syrup – 1/2 lemon juice – 1 tbsp light soy sauce – 4 tbsp chickn stock (vege stock) – 1 tsp garlic purée METHOD 1. Make sure your choice of protein is nicely coated with cornflour, add your salt + pepper 2. Heat up the oil in your pan on medium heat, wait 2-3 minutes 3. Add your coated protein and let both sides cook evenly, once both sides are golden brown. Remove and add to a bowl, patting it with kitchen roll to remove an excess oil 4. Mix all your sauce ingredients to a bowl, if you’d like sauce just add more water to the bowl 5. Pour this into a pan and stir to well, sprinkle your chilli flakes and ginger purée. Now add your coated chickn. Let this mix thoroughly, making sure all the pieces has the sauce 6. Garnish with sliced spring onion and sesame seeds 7. Enjoy with rice or noodles #honeychillichicken #veganrecipes #pandaexpress #veganfood #easyveganrecipes #veganchinese #tastemademedoit
