Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui has opened up about her attempt to follow a plant-based diet. When a fan asked about Jauregui’s workout routine on Twitter, the singer responded by saying that she had been trying to eat “vegan/plant based.”

“I’ve actually just been eating cleaner,” tweeted Jauregui. “Trying my best to be vegan/plant-based (even though I do fail sometimes) ((I’m Cuban it’s hard af to not eat meat)).”

Congrats, Lauren Jauregui, on making the effort to eat a plant-based diet! To help make the transition easier for you, we’ve compiled some vegan food guides and recipes.

And if you’re craving some quick vegan comfort food, try this Jackfruit Fried Chicken. The crispy, battered jackfruit is great for dipping!
