Ten years ago, saying you were vegan was like announcing you were from Mars. But now? Celebrities, influencers, and even your next-door neighbor are jumping on the bandwagon. Thanks to knowledgeable food bloggers and Instagram, plant-based meals went from “meh” to “foodie dream,” and the world realized vegan food could actually be, dare we say, delicious. Once upon a time, in a world where “steak” was king and salad was just a sad, leafy garnish, something incredible happened. Veganism, the diet that everyone loved to mock, suddenly became as popular as cat videos on the internet. Yep, in the last decade, veganism went from “weird hippie fad” to “everyone’s doing it!”
If the last decade has taught us anything, it’s that veganism isn’t just for tree huggers. It’s for everyone who likes their food with a side of planet-saving heroics. And guess what? This wild, veggie-filled ride is just getting started.

Protein? Pea powder to the rescue! They’re like the Swiss Army knives of the nutrition world. Vegan diet skeptics often ask, “But where do you get your [insert nutrient here]?” And with a flourish, vegans can now whip out a natural supplement faster than you can say “quinoa.” It’s like having a nutritional backup band, making sure you’re hitting all those high notes of health.
