Being vegan or vegetarian sometimes makes me feel like a unicorn. I witnessed the BeeHive momentarily turn on their queen when she promoted veganism, so I’m not here to preach, but I found some pretty dope vegans serving it up for the ‘gram that might inspire you to recreate a few recipes. Check them out, and flourish accordingly.
