The past year has brought about a lot of changes to say the least, and for many, a focus on mental and physical health has never been more important! In our opinion, one of the best shifts of 2020/2021 has gotta be the all-time high interest in dairy and meat alternatives, and a greater trend towards vegan lifestyles. 

So with that in mind (and awards season upon us!), we teamed up with our friends at Violife to bring you the list of a few of our fave celebrities who’ve gone vegan over the years!

In case you’re not familiar with them, Violife makes delicious vegan cheese alternative products that help people move effortlessly into a plant-based diet. And, when it comes to celebrities enjoying their products… Violife is definitely no stranger. In fact, they were recently featured in Kourtney Kardashian’s POOSH article as a favourite cheese alternative option. That’s right, making the move away from dairy doesn’t mean ditching our favourite recipes or giving up that ooey gooey cheese pull. 

So, let’s check ‘em out!

Billie Eilish

This lifelong vegetarian turned vegan took home 2 Grammys this year, adding to the 5 she already had. And we’re not saying her diet is (fully) to thank for that, but come on- she’s clearly doing something right!

Ariana Grande

Ariana has been following a vegan lifestyle since 2013, stating “I love animals more than I love most people, not kidding.” Honestly, we kinda feel her on that one!

Kim Kardashian

Whether you’re a fan or not, it’s hard to deny that Kim K is one of the most influential people in the world. And it seems that she holds that power over her own family too! Since announcing that she had made the switch to a plant-based diet, Kim has announced that she’s already gotten 3 family members to make the switch too.

Madelaine Petsch

Although she plays the role of a bad girl on the hit series Riverdale, Madelaine Petsch in real life is far from it. In fact, this outspoken advocate is a lifelong vegan and environmentalist, and is all about the positive vibes.

Brad Pitt

While we can’t confirm if Brad Pitt follows a 100% vegan lifestyle, we definitely know he loves the “green lifestyle” (wink, wink) and that he’s been hugely outspoken about animal rights issues in recent years, expressing support for the diet.

Jared Leto

While he didn’t take home the Golden Globe for best actor in a motion picture this year, Jared Leto still gives us plenty of things to be proud of him for. One of ‘em being that he celebrated 20 years of following a vegan and vegetarian lifestyle. Pretty impressive if you ask us.

Zac Efron

It’s been 15 years since High School Musical and he’is still finding ways to steal our hearts! But seriously, having adopted a vegan diet in recent years, Zac has been open about the positive effects it’s had on his mental and physical health, and we’re all for that!

Taraji P. Henson

Making the transition back in 2018 due to some serious stomach issues, Taraji P. Henson says she feels better than ever, and hasn’t looked back since.

Woody Harrelson

In addition to following a vegan lifestyle (along with his family) for the past 10 years, it seems that Woody has made an impact on a few other celebs as well. Sadie Sink from Stranger Things’ recently stated that she has made the switch to vegan after Woody showed her just how easy the plant based diet could be!

Lizzo

Having announced the switch last year over Tik Tok, Lizzo has been following a vegan lifestyle for the past few months. And in her true lifestyle-positive fashion, Lizzo stated that while she’s happy both ways, being a vegan is what’s bringing her joy right now!
