Sometimes it feels like there are more vegan bloggers out there than there are stars in the sky, which can leave you totally overwhelmed. Especially when it comes to deciding which vegan bloggers are the best match for your food preferences, budget, and personality.

Well, we thought we should try to make things a little easier for you, so we put together this list of amazing vegan food blogs.

Now don’t get us wrong — it was extremely difficult to choose our top 30! But we thought that these voices covered a wide array of vegan voices and niches out there. We also chose blogs that met three crucial criteria (below).

If you get the itch to start your own food blog after reading this, check out our How to Start a Food Blog guide!

Top Vegan Blog Picks Criteria

  1. High Quality Recipes. The blogs have to have totally delicious and fool-proof recipes. It’s shocking how often recipes online don’t turn out. That’s why World of Vegan now has a team of recipe testers, and our recipes often go through several iterations before they’re published. We very much appreciate other blogs that go to those lengths as well.
  2. Stunning Food Photography. We eat with our eyes first, so it was important to have stunning photography that has you drooling on your keyboard and makes you want to reach through the screen and grab the fork.
  3. Consistent Content. There are thousands of food bloggers who used to create recipes, but are no longer actively blogging. Consistent content is important in our ranking factors, and we looked for blogs that regularly release fresh content and update old content. We love to see the inspiring new creative dishes coming into our feed from the food bloggers we follow!

Ultimately, you’ll want to search for food blogs that resonate with your cooking style and preferences. For example, we at World of Vegan focus on fully-vegan comfort food recipes that seldom require specialty ingredients. We make sure our recipes are simple enough for anyone to make, regardless of prior cooking experience, and we keep them as simple as possible so they can easily be incorporated into everyday busy life. We especially love featuring veganized versions of classic recipes that are traditionally made with animal products.

If you’re someone who likes experimenting with bold new ingredients, like jackfruit or kombucha, or who has food allergies, you can always find blogs that cater to your needs. There are vegan blogs focused on every culture, cooking style, and diet. Whether you’re a healthy vegan, junk food vegan, gluten-free vegan, nut-free vegan, soy-free vegan, sugar-free vegan, oil-free vegan, raw vegan, paleo, keto vegan, low-fob vegan, whole food plant-based (wfpb), or anything else, you can find your tribe.

Without further ado, let’s check out our best vegan food blogs!

The Simple Veganista

Content Type: Blog

Why We Love It: We love being vegan, but it’s not a diet that easily lends itself to affordability or time-efficiency at first-glance. Julie at The Simple Veganista started her blog back in 2012 to show people that’s entirely possible to eat a nutritious vegan diet without all sorts of fancy do-dads or spending an arm and a leg. To borrow her quote: “Eating vegan is not about restrictions, it’s about creating new habits, healthy habits that encompass the world around us making it a better place for all.” The Simple Veganista’s recipes are vegan-friendly and are geared towards American cuisine, although she does post raw recipes from time to time.  

You’ll Like It If:

  • You’re looking for American-style recipes
  • You’re looking for advice on raising a vegan family

A fare of Vegan Yack Attack’s can have long ingredient lists and require some specialty ingredients, but they’re a must-see for vegans who know their way around a kitchen and who want meals that pack a flavorful punch.

  • You enjoy American-inspired and Southwestern-inspired recipes
  • You’re comfortable cooking recipes that are a little more intensive or require specialty ingredients

Many of the recipes on BOSH can be a little long in terms of ingredients or cooking steps, but trust us, it’s all worth it!

Oh She Glows

Content Type: Blog; Cookbooks

Why We Love Them: Oh She Glows is one of the oldest vegan food blogs out there, and with good reasons — all of her recipes are so awesome! Oh She Glows focuses on plant-based recipes that are appealing to both vegans and the non-vegans they love, with many of the recipes excluding certain common allergens. If you’re someone who thinks that following a vegan diet is an insurmountable challenge,  you’ll find Angela’s story (and content!) immensely inspiring.

You’ll Like Them If:

  • You’re interested in recipes that would appeal to all members of your family as you transition to a vegan lifestyle

Fork & Beans

Content Type: Blog; Cookbook

Many of Fork & Bean’s recipes also feature a small craft component (like these Mayflower pudding cups) for some extra fun for your kiddos, and of course some wonderful memories!

You’ll Like  It If:

  • You want kid-friendly vegan recipes
  • You want to create adorable vegan creations for children’s celebrations

Keepin’ It Kind

Content Type: Blog; Cookbook

Why We Love Them: Run by a former  fromagier (and her husband) who, by her own admission, thought that she could never follow a vegan diet, Keepin’ It Kind is a fun blog dedicated to showing others that “kind food is the key to a kinder world.

Keepin’ It Kind’s recipes run the gamut from American-style recipes like this vegan Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich to more international fare, like this  bahn mi-less bahn mi bowl, but all recipes do show that you don’t have to deprive or bore yourself as a vegan. In fact, it can be quite fun!

You’ll Like Them If:

  • You’re looking for a mix of American-inspired and international recipes
  • You’re looking for advice and recipes from someone who loves being vegan, but once thought that she could never be a vegan

EhVegan

Content Type: Blog, Instagram

Why We Love Them: EhVegan is #InstagramGoals. Their recipes photos are so gorgeous they should be featured in magazines. In fact, they’ve been blowing up on Instagram because of their smoothie bowls that are 100% #BreakfastInspiration.

But EhVegan doesn’t offer you inspiration photos and recipes — their website also covers a vast spread of lifestyle topics, from travel in Hawaii to nutrition and product reviews.

You’ll Like Them If:

  • You’re looking for both vegan lifestyle tips and recipes
  • You prefer consuming content on Instagram

The Sexy Vegan

Content Type: Blog; YouTube; Podcast

Why We Love It: So many blogs out there feature veganized Italian staples, like pizza and stuffed shells. But The Sexy Vegan takes vegan Italian cooking to the next level with relatively uncomplicated recipes like green pea risotto and pan-fried semolina cakes  that will make your taste buds sing. The Sexy Vegan also features some non-Italian recipes as well, like salted chocolate truffle vegan ice cream. So if you excuse us, we need some time to deliberate on which of The Sexy Vegan’s recipes we should make next!

You’ll Like It If:

  • You’re looking for Italian-inspired recipes with reasonable-length ingredient lists
  • You want recipes that would work well for a weekday dinner or a fancier affair for guests

Dora’s Table

Content Type: Blog; YouTube

Why We Love It:  I’m based in California, so I’ve pretty much had my share of heavenly Mexican food (especially of my fav, burritos).  But when I feel like making something homemade, Dora’s Table is my go-to — and definitely should eon your radar if you’re a fan of Mexican cuisine.  Dora Stone of Dora’s Table has been able to strike the delicate balance between retaining the flavor and authenticity of dishes from around Mexico while also making them vegan-friendly and (mostly) healthy. From these vegan fish tacos inspired by the fish tacos of Baja California Norte to a pre-Colombian champurrado, Dora’s Table’s recipes offer a gastronomic tour of Mexico for vegans who are looking for traditional Mexican recipes.

You’ll Like It If:

  • You enjoy Mexican cuisine
  • You’re a vegan looking to sample authentic regional dishes from around the world
