We’re not sure what it is about looking at other people’s food that’s so delightful, but it just is. It inspires us to cook fun things, try new places to eat and pleases our eyes while making our tummies rumble.
As far as social media goes, the best place to get your daily dish of plant-based pics is Instagram. Its visually based platform makes it seem like its very creation was for random people to take pictures of their dairy-free pizza or taco Tuesday creations for the rest of the world to ogle. By simply following your favorite vegan restaurant, internet personality or online publication, you can stay connected to all things delicious.
If you want to add some cruelty-free eye candy to your feed, you can start by searching #vegan, #vegansofinstagram , #rawvegan or #veganshare just to name a few. You can also try these accounts for a start. Each one of them are guaranteed to make you wish they delivered. Just don’t look at them two hours before lunch or your stomach is going to be rumble city!
1. MommyTang is a wonderful account to follow, not only for the wealth of short, instructional cooking videos she posts, but for the incredibly colorful looking exotic fruit platters she eats. Yum!
2. One look at thehealthyfamilyandhome‘s account by OGP contributor Karielyn Tilman and the words “Clean Eating” will seem even more delicious. Of course, words like “Cheesy Sprouted Brown Rice with Spinach and Mushrooms” seem extraordinarily delicious too.

3. Created by Forks Over Knives contributor and retired firefighter Rip Essystlen, Engine2Diet puts out photos of food that are not only delectable looking but they’re healthy for you too. “Mushroom Gravy” over kale with oven fries sounds like it would hit the spot!
4. Run by Damon Brasch, owner of Green New American Vegetarian restaurant in Phoenix, AZ, greendamon is filled with the vegan donuts, thyme fries and the Sunday brunch fare hungry patrons enjoy.
5. After viewing all of that sugary goodness, checking out jesselwellness by holistic nutritionist and OGP contributor Jesse Lane Schelew can get our minds back on more wholesome offerings.
6. Between revolutionizing the cookbook world and owning the wonderland that is Modern Love Omaha in Omaha, NE, Isa Chandra Moskowitz puts tons of pictures out under isachandra for our viewing pleasure. “Loaded Vegan Nachos,” anyone?
7. Looking at the daily specials Cinnaholic puts out on their feed always makes us wonder if a plane ticket to Berkley, CA plus the cost of a decadent cinnamon roll is too hefty a price to pay for a “Strawberry French Toast Cinnamon Roll.” This picture has us leaning in the direction of catching that flight.
8. When she isn’t blogging or contributing to OGP, Marquis Matson is filling her realrawkitchen feed with stuff like “African Peanut Soup” that will make you want to feed!
9. Food truck fare and bakery bliss abound on Cinnamon Snail‘s feed, showing the world time and again why serving things like “Habenero Cauliflower Buffalo Wing Subs” won them the designation of best food truck in NYC for 2014.
10. If your criteria for vegan food photos is decadent, plant based and gluten-free, VeganRecipes, run by the just 19-year-old Solveig Berg Vollen of Norway, is the account to follow for drool-worthy pics of things like “Vegan Swedish Meatballs with Gravy.”
11. The Chicago Diner’s motto is “meat free since ’83,” which works out well for you and me, since there are so many luscious, plant-based meals to see. Wow, the “Mickey Muffin” looks so good, it inspired poetry.
12. When you need incredibly delicious looking food pics to be accompanied by a hearty helping of expletives, ThugKitchen is the right account for you.
13. Based out of Bethlehem, PA and owned by Danielle Konya, vegantreats puts up pictures of baked goodies like “Vegan Fried “Chicken” and Belgian Waffle Donuts” that leave no one wondering why they were named one of the ten best bakeries in the world by American Express.
14. What more is there to say after “Quinoa ‘Sausage’ and Sriracha Wraps?” Lee Khatchadourian-Reese, another fabulous OGP contributor, has plenty more to say after that at veganversion. All of it delicious.
15. The brainchild of raw advocate Kristina Carillo-Bucaram, FullyRawKristina features a feed that is as pleasing to the eye as the foods are pleasing to our bodies.
16. If you’re the athletic type, MeatFreeAthlete‘s Tae-Kwon-Do black belt Anne-Marie Campbell dishes up equal parts healthy food pics for the active soul as well as inspiration to move your body.
17. The ever inventive and always divine offerings, like “Crispy Quinoa Cakes”, of Angela Liddon are a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach on her OhSheGlows account.
18. Cafe Gratitude out of Los Angeles, CA offers organic vegan fare like “I Am Restored Potato Salad” and shares the pictures of it with the rest of the world, for which we are eternally grateful.
19. Run by blogger, OGP contributor and cookbook author Emily von Euw, thisrawesomeveganlife will give you dinner ideas with her blend of raw and traditional fare, like a mix of vegan sushi and oven baked fries with guacamole.

20. It seems like a shameless plug, we get it, but we’d be completely remiss if we didn’t mention our account at onegreenplanet here too. We post pictures of some of the tastebud tantalizing recipes we feature on the site, like “Green Tea Soba Noodles With Roasted Vegetables and Herbs.” Don’t take our word for it, check us out!

I did\’t expect any of the writers on this site to abuse a word like \’porn\’
Porn creates a continuing market for human trafficking. It is not a word that should be carelessly used. Show some sensitivity folks!
