According to data taken from Google Trends, 2020 saw the vegan diet hitting an all-time high, surpassing 2019’s statistics. Growing in popularity, the plant-based diet has seen a rise in consumers making the switch from omnivore diets to completely meat and dairy-free products.
Following the country’s strict lockdown regulations, many people have started prioritising their mental and physical well-being and with Veganuary in full swing, influencers have decided to join the movement and take a 31-day pledge to #TryVegan.

@Fitlikemummy
With just over a week into her plant-based journey, @fitlikemummy has found the plant-based journey an enlightening experience. Offering her endless possibilities in the kitchen, she’s not only learned more about following a plant-based diet but she’s also become more mindful about the food she eats.
@Twobrowngirls
In a recent IGTV video, Sam from @Twobrowngirls on Instagram stated that she started her vegetarian journey nearly 7 years ago. Identifying herself more as a flexitarian, Sam doesn’t strictly follow a vegan diet. While she does understand the benefits that come with eating less meat and more whole foods, she also understands that every plant-based journey is different.

Curly-haired blogger @justbella on Instagram decided to take the 31-day pledge for Veganuary with Fry’s. However, obsessed with cheese and eggs, @justbella decided to ease herself into the plant-based diet by slowly cutting out meat and dairy products.
