The Top 15 Vegan Instagram Photos of 2015

It was another banner year for veganism, marked by legislative victories, ample mainstream media coverage, and, of course, great food. And no where captures plant-based cuisine better than Instagram, where vegans around the world share gorgeous, inspiring photos of food, fashion, and exciting new products. To celebrate this milestone year for all-things vegan, here are the most popular photos of 2015 on VegNews’ Instagram page.

1. VeganEgg
Follow Your Heart completely sold out of this game-changing product in just two weeks. Must be why it’s our top Instagram photo of the year!

VeganEgg by @followyourheart is here! VegNews got a sneak preview last month, and this whole-egg alternative is a major game-changer. Scrambled eggs, here we come!

No need to use your noggin to find out why VegNews followers were ultra-excited about Silk’s holiday line of vegan beverages.

‘Tis the season to be #vegan. Let the holidays begin! @lovemysilk

Who could’ve imagined a day when you could munch on a vegan slice while doing your grocery shopping? Okay, maybe you should wait, but we won’t judge.

7. Califia Farms’ Holiday Beverages
These two offerings from one of our favorite California Almondmilk-makers are easily among our top beverages of the year. 

It’s 9:30am in San Francisco, and we’re downing @califiafarms Peppermint Mocha Cold Brew Coffee and Almondmilk Holiday Nog like it’s Christmas Eve. That’s the way we roll.

Single origin coconut milk lattes, mochas, cappuccinos, iced coffees, Frappuccinos, smoothies … this changes everything. 

It’s official … coconut milk is now available at Starbucks!

9. Vegan and Open for Business
VegNews Publisher Colleen Holland’s neon find during a stroll through San Francisco’s Mission District was a hit.

You know it’s going to be good when you’re greeted by this sign. And it was.
