With summer just around the corner, I've recently developed a penchant for discovering Instagram accounts devoted to documenting healthy lifestyles. These vegan bloggers consistently post the yummiest looking plant-based recipes, while also sharing snaps from their daily lives. Here are my picks for the top 10 vegan Instagram accounts to follow for some healthy inspiration.
1. @lonijane
Loni Jane, the 27-year-old author of the e-book "Feel the Lean," is a self-professed "earthling, mother, photographer and creative artist from Queensland, Australia." Between daily snaps of delicious plant-based recipes and her two adorable children, her feed is consistently bright and cheerful.
Founder of the website "We Need to Live More," Ella's Instagram consists of recipes, motivational quotes and animal-rights posts that emphasize her vegan lifestyle.
3. @earthyandy
Andrea, who lives with her two sons and husband on the North Shore of Oahu, documents her healthy lifestyle on her blog "earthyandy." You can expect posts full of vibrant colors and tons of yummy recipes.
Lee Tilghman, founder of the blog "Lee Tilghman," is a recipe developer and food-based stylist who comes from a long line of chefs. She posts tons of colorful, nutritious, plant-based recipes that certainly beg to be photographed.
5. @ellenfisher
In addition to being the mother of the two cutest boys I've ever seen, Ellen runs the blog "Mango Island Mamma" and is the author of an e-book under the same name. Besides posting pictures of her cute sons, Ellen shares tons of delicious recipes and discusses what it's like raising her children vegan.
Bonny, author of the e-book "Carbolicious," is a 23-year-old living in Sydney, Australia. In addition to snapping pictures of yummy vegan meals, her feed is also full of photos of her family, friends and the beach.
Tilda is 19 and from Stockholm, Sweden. She runs the blog "flourishing-health" and takes some of the best food pictures I've seen.
8. @ohsheglows
Angela Liddon is the founder of the award-winning recipe blog "Oh She Glows," and is author of the New York Times best-seller, "Oh She Glows Cookbook." She's been sharing her "energizing, plant-based recipes" for six years, so she definitely knows her stuff.
9. @raw_manda
Amanda, who lives in Los Angeles, California, runs the blog "Raw Manda" and is the author of the e-book "Sweet Abundance." Her Instagram feed is filled with tons of colorful recipes that will inspire you to put down the bag of chips and pick up something healthy.
10. @em_carey
Perhaps my favorite on this list is Emma Carey, a 23-year-old Australian who recently co-authored her first vegan cookbook, "The Uncompromising Vegan," with her sister and boyfriend. Not only does Emma post photos of her adorable niece (seriously, she is so freaking cute), but she tells the tale of her journey as a walking paraplegic, who—as a result of a freak sky-diving accident—can no longer feel the back of her legs or her feet.
