Kim Kardashian is no stranger to the world of plant-based eating. In 2022, she was even awarded the title of “Chief Taste Consultant” for the plant-based meat alternative company, Beyond Meat. Additionally, she has even credited following a mostly plant-based diet with helping to clear her psoriasis. Although it is not clear if Kim follows a fully vegan diet, she does appear to eat mostly plant-based and appreciates vegan food. Case in point, this recipe for a “Vegan Summer Pizza with Cauliflower Crust” recently featured on Poosh.
