These three youtubers make cooking vegan food fun, quick, and enjoyable. All while being at a lower budget. So if you’re considering a diet change, check them out!

1. TheChicisNatural

This was the first YouTuber that made me interested in vegan food. Her content mostly consists of Beauty and Fashion related videos, however at least once a month she posts a video about cooking. Many of her viewers, including me, believed that it is very expensive to become vegan or even attempt to eat certain meals. So to combat this myth, she began making videos about how she can eat a weeks worth of vegan food for only 30ish dollars. Her instructions are very simple and the meals can be adjusted to fit anyone’s needs.

2. Gemma Stafford

This YouTuber captured my attention with her microwavable mug meals. It’s very quick and tend to vary from 1 to 5 minutes. Depending on how much you can eat and the size of the mug, these can be a filling meal/snack. Ms. Stafford has non-stop ideas that are very simple for beginners. While she is not a vegan, certain meals only require switching a few ingredients to convert them to a quick vegan snack. Her videos are very inspiring and make me want to go out and buy ingredients to cook.

3. Liv’s Healthy Life

I found Liv;’s videos immediately after watching TheChicisNatural. While Gemma Stafford and TheChicisNatural aren’t noticeable advocates of veganism, Liv is very vocal about it. Her videos are very helpful for younger people who want to eat vegan food during the school year. There are multiple school lunch videos with a variety of quick meals, ranging from chopped fruit to sandwiches. While she makes a new meal for each day, a cheaper option would be to stretch out some of the quick meals for a few days. Her ideas are very creative, as well as the packages for the meals. 

It is very easy to get caught up in the world of YouTube, there are so many sections/genres/memes/etc. However, there aren’t a lot cooking videos that can capture my attention without the use of meat. All three ladies I have shared today had interesting ideas for vegan food. With every doubt I had about eating vegan food, they showed a reason why I should be interested in it. While Veganism is a pretty difficult route for most people in our society, these videos make the route a bit easier.
