HAPPY WORLD VEGAN DAY !
And what better way to celebrate than with a vegan cupcake.
It’s crazy to think that 5 years ago when I went vegan that there were almost no options here in South Africa. When I went vegan I thought I was saying goodbye to things like cupcakes, donuts ,ice cream and cheese for good. Now we can choose from so many amazing vegan restaurants, donuts, cheeses, plant milks, vegan meat alternatives, burgers, milkshakes and ice cream.
To think how things can change in 5 years and how vegan options and alternatives are going to continue to increase. Choosing a vegan lifestyle is just going to become easier.
