The Best Vegan YouTubers

1. Earthling Ed

If there’s one YouTuber or vegan influencer we’ve probably seen every single video of, it would definitely be Ed. We remember following him back when he just started his channel and were immediately mesmerized by his revolutionary approach (so much so that we even got him to write an article for us!).

The UK-based activist is known for using the Socratic method in his outreach and is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of living vegan, including solutions for how to create a fully vegan world. He also does some commentary content, gives fantastic speeches and has his own podcast.

Apart from that, he also co-founded a vegan restaurant in London and works on different projects with the animal rights organization Surge. He is the vegan you’d want to represent the movement!

2. Pick Up Limes

Sadia’s channel, Pick Up Limes, is among the most popular vegan YouTube channels – and rightfully so. Her gentle approach to food, nutrition, minimalism, and conscious living attracts not only vegans but also a large non-vegan audience, all of whom can get a glimpse of how simple and delicious plant-based meals can be!

The Dietitian from Canada currently lives in the Netherlands, where she regularly puts out new and helpful videos with her team. No matter which one you watch, you’ll be left with a cozy feeling and inspired to take action!

3. Unnatural Vegan

Swayze went through quite a transformation: back when she started her channel 10 years ago, she was a full-blown raw foodist, eventually finding her way to a more and more science-based approach to following a vegan diet.

She regularly calls out other vegans on statements she doesn’t agree with (in a respectful manner, of course) and speaks to a very unique audience within the vegan and also flexitarian movements.

She also reviews older videos of herself as a raw vegan, not shying away from having a laugh at herself and calling out her former pseudo-scientific beliefs. Swayze has a dry sense of humor and likes to ramble about her personal life at the end of some of her videos (which we personally love!)

She follows a higher protein vegan diet with lots of soy, mock meat, coffee, and all the latest vegan treats from the store! If you’re looking for approachable and non-dogmatic vegan lifestyle content, this is the channel to check out.

4. Madeleine Olivia

Madeleine started her YouTube channel in 2016 and has achieved huge success with her authentic videos about her personal development.

Straight from beautiful Britain, you can enjoy her lovely accent while she talks about not only mental health, minimalism and DIY projects but also shows how to make approachable and satisfying vegan meals, many of them budget-friendly.

At the beginning of 2020, she published her first book on sustainability, a topic that also makes up a large part of her channel.

5. Sweet Simple Vegan

Although this YouTube channel was started by Jasmine, nowadays, most of her content also features her awesome boyfriend Chris (and their cute little dogs).

We’ve been long-term followers of her work and recognize that her content and style have changed a bit over time. The good news? It’s now better than ever!

From sharing her struggles with disordered eating in the past to entertaining vlogs, her videos are high-quality and feature fun recipes, challenges, taste tests, “What We Eat in a Day” – with the occasional glimpse of the couple’s private lives — and so much more. You definitely need to check them out!

6. Humane Hancock

Jack is an awesome vegan activist who has a somewhat similar style to Ed but is definitely more confrontational. His dedication, patience, and courage are outstanding – the discussions he has with other people can sometimes result in shouting matches, only to have Jack quickly find some common ground with them again.

Unafraid to speak his truth, he likes to talk to people of other social movements or devout religious believers to uncover their logical inconsistencies when it comes to animal ethics.

Jack also explores philosophical topics such as wildlife suffering and creates response videos to vegans and non-vegans alike, sprinkled with funny skits that never disappoint! We love his humor and passion – definitely our favorite “Soyboy”

7. Rachel Ama

Although we’re still new to Rachel’s channel (YouTube is overflowing with vegan videos, and it can be hard for some channels to reach your “recommended” section), we’ve quickly fallen in love with her content.

From scrumptious yet easy vegan recipes and meal prep videos to Q&As and sit-down-style content, Rachel shares so much fun and helpful content around veganism.

She tries vegan options at popular fast-food chains, does challenges, and even takes you on her personal health and fitness journey! The London-based influencer has also published a book on her tasty vegan eats.

8. Avantgarde Vegan

Gaz Oakly, the popular professional vegan chef behind this large YouTube channel, shares scrumptious vegan recipes in a modern and entertaining manner. The way he talks is very soothing to us, and he makes everything look so mouth-watering!

He also shares what he eats in a day, uploads travel videos, and is the go-to source for anyone wanting to cook up a feast for meat-eaters. Gaz has also published some epic vegan cookbooks, which have persuaded many of his friends and colleagues to go vegan!

Joey Carbstrong face to face with a cowpin it

Image source: Instagram

9. Joey Carbstrong

One of the more confrontational, and therefore controversial, animal rights activists on our list (and the whole of YouTube) is Australian vegan Joey Carbstrong.

Having been on international television several times, he’s never shied away from forcefully speaking up for animals and urging people to put themselves in their perspective – even if this means being portrayed as too radical by the mainstream media.

His approach is very straightforward and blunt, no matter who he talks to. Joey is very down-to-earth and wants the world to wake up to the reality of animal agriculture. You can find heated street debates on his channels as well as sit-down videos. Different strokes for different folks!

10. Cheap Lazy Vegan

Especially for those who are new to a vegan diet, Rose’s channel can be a fantastic source! We still enjoy watching her cooking and talking videos after years and years because her personality is incredibly lovely, funny, and refreshing.

Making vegan comfort food really approachable and budget-friendly, she shares a lot of vegan hacks, high protein recipes, and “What I Eat in a Day” videos along with some vegan lifestyle content.

11. Caitlin Shoemaker

Caitlin is an inspiring and down-to-earth vegan influencer across all her social media – on top of her wonderful blog, she also runs a great YouTube channel and has an impressive Instagram following.

The young woman is very passionate about all things food, veganism, and living a healthy lifestyle, with her videos as of late heavily focusing on the food part.

While she does share parts of her personal life, yoga, relationship content, and mental health tips, she’s a master at creating fantastic-looking vegan comfort food that’s easy to make and secretly healthy!

Mic from Mic The Vegan standing in front of red rocks looking sideways, hands resting on his hip,pin it

Image source: micthevegan.com

12. Mic The Vegan

Another channel of which we’ve probably seen every single video! Mic’s approach to bringing complicated science topics to ordinary mortals is like a breath of fresh air, and his skits never fail to make us laugh.

His videos are very educational, offering just enough details not to be overwhelming. But Mic (“short for microphone, not Mick!”) covers more than just vegan health topics! From the odd “What I Eat in a Day” to environmental issues, debunking currently trending articles or videos and interviews with other vegan experts, his channel is a must-watch.

The US-based science writer (and cookbook author!) is currently studying Public Health at the Master’s level while building his own tiny house with his partner – needless to say, we just love all of his content.

13. Perspective Philosophy

If you’re into some in-depth philosophical discussions as well as a UK accent, Lewis is your man! He studied philosophy and covers topics ranging from veganism to antinatalism, objective morality, free will, and societal issues.

You can see him in long-format debates and even on the street, talking to people about veganism while always keeping his rational approach and kind attitude. In our opinion, Perspective Philosophy is a really underrated channel!

Image source: Instagram

14. Simnett Nutrition

Although Derek’s content is also heavily focused on plant-based nutrition, recipes, lifestyle, and travels, we decided to put him into the vegan fitness category because of the jaw-dropping share of muscle on his body.

A Certified Nutritional Practitioner, he focuses on an approachable whole food plant-based diet and regular physical activity for optimal health. His personal favorites are calisthenics and taking long walks in nature with his girlfriend, who regularly appears in his videos.

We simply love his attitude and the two of them making videos together because their content is always fun, inspirational, and easy to watch.

Image source: Youtube

15. Happy Healthy Vegan

Ryan and Anji are a 50-something couple from Southern California who have been vegan since 2013. You won’t find more laid-back and kind people like these two!

Ryan and Anji are proponents of a mainly high-carb vegan diet and share easy recipes, interviews, travel videos, and “What I Eat in a Day” content. Ryan’s specialty is doing commentary-style videos where he dissects articles or media coverage about veganism with logic and science – you won’t find much more respectful debunking anywhere.

The couple also makes music together under the name Lovespirals, and Anji has published her own recipe eBook. If you’re looking for a chill vibe and want to know how to “keep it carbed,” check their videos!

16. Those Annoying Vegans

Ana and Brian are trying to change hearts and minds one conversation at a time. The animal rights activists have changed their content on YouTube over the years from mainly focusing on vegan recipe videos and mukbangs to showing the reality of animal agriculture, responding to other YouTubers (vegan or not), or doing rebuttals and commentary about movies and media coverage.

Recently, they also started sharing their ethical vegan debates online to help everyone question their own reasons for choosing one food over the other. Another highly underrated channel, in our opinion!

  1. I think you’re missing Unnatural Vegan. She might be controversial but she does do A LOT to make being/becoming vegan more accessible and therefore easier to present to a wider audience.

    • Hi Ana,
      thanks for the comment! You’re completely right, I somehow forgot about her… I do watch most of her videos, except for her What I Eat In A Day ones. I don’t agree with her specific food choices too much, but she has a reasonable approach. Will include her too!

  2. I’m so happy for this list! One of my favorites is the channel of Shir Levi – every time I watch one of her videos I end us with a great sense of peace and bliss. Veganism is only part of the topics that she’s sharing but it did make an impact on me.

  3. Thanks for this list. There’s quite a number on here that I have never heard of and that I will be checking out. On this list, I already follow Cheap Lazy Vegan, Jenny Mustard, Bonny Rebecca, Fablunch, and Tess Begg.

    I second Unnatural Vegan (said by another commenter) and would add A Privileged Vegan, Honeybunch of Onion Tops, Cam and Nina, thrivingonplants, Antastesia, Annie Tarasova, Jenell B. Stewart, and James Aspey.

  4. I love ALL of these people too! I am surprised though that you didn’t mention Alyse or Kate! (Alyse = RawAlignment & Kate = KateFruitFlowers). Both are more RAW than VEGAN but it’s still considered Vegan. Alyse & Kate both talk about self love. Alyse also discusses minimalism in her life. – I hope you have a beautiful day, and thank you for making this post so I can share with my friends that ask who I recommend!

    • Hi Heather,
      well, you got me here – I don’t really watch many raw vegan channels, this is why I haven’t come across these 2 ladies probably.
      I will take some time out today to review their channels and might add them to the list then! Most people are attracted by a broader vegan diet than just raw foods (this is why I didn’t add FullyRaw Kristina), but you’re right – should be something for everyone here.
      Have a lovely weekend! x

  8. Surprised we didn’t make your list! I opened Planet Raw Restaurant in 1994 in San Francisco when 99.9% of the population never heard of raw cuisine before! I truly believe I was the first person to make ravioli and it was an accident, which sometimes, the best things come out of! Anyway, love the list, love the comments, just thought we belong on it too! :))

    • I was going to mention him, as well. I just discovered him about a week ago, and I immediately subscribed. She probably doesn’t like that he swears so much. I find him really charming, and apparently you do, too. That’s alright. I think what’s really impressive to me is that I don’t get the impression that he would have been “one of our kind” had he not been trying to cure an illness. I think it’s great, no matter what the motivation behind it is. “Regular guys” going vegan gives me a little more hope in my fellow humans.

  12. I think this list is a great idea! However, I do get tired of seeing the majority of websites being about only vegan food. Veganism is so much more than that as we know, and unfortunately there isn’t enough vegan sites supporting every aspect of being vegan.

    Maybe because many vegans feel talking about vegan foods/nutrition is the easiest, safest form of activism without the fear of getting people upset?

    I just wish there were more people discussing veganism as a whole and not just as a diet. No wonder why most non-vegans think all one has to do to be vegan is to stop eating animals; the vegan community seems to push it for people to think that way. Practically every vegan site home page shows food and nothing else. So sadly, most people think veganism is just about diet.

    Reply
    • Hey Lorrie,
      I agree that veganism is about so much more than just what someone eats. It is a philosophy. Food makes up the biggest part of this, though, and most people are more easily convinced to make some kind of change when there’s something in it for them as well – like losing weight, getting off medication etc. The feeling good in one’s body is what keeps many people on this path. We chose to focus on the food aspect and don’t just recommend eating any vegan food but healthy plant-based food most of the time. It’s just our specialty. You can find many websites, like Peta, who give more advice around activism, lifestyle, and accidentally vegan foods (which can be found in our free course, BTW). And here’s our piece on vegan activism: http://nutriciously.com/how-to-become-a-vegan-activist/

  15. I loved this post! I’ve been feeling a bit stuck in my vegan habits lately, what with no recipe inspiration and such, and this has really helped me out! One more suggestion for the list: Sadia from pickuplimes.com. Her youtube channel is also called pickuplimes. She is a dietitian, comes across very calm and sweet and happy and has a lot of helpful videos. She brings us recipes and Q&A’s but also things like shopping lists and pantry staples and tips for beginning vegans. I learned a lot from her. Her youtube and blog also work together perfectly: she has free printables on her blog with every recipe she shows on youtube, and I just adore her. I hope you will check her out, she is amazing!

    Reply
    • You’re so right, Sadia needs to make that list as well! I’ve been loving her videos ever since I discovered her channel a few weeks ago. We need to update the article soon so we can add her :)
      I’m very glad to hear that some of these YouTube channels were able to inspire you… I have experienced the same and love watching almost daily. It keeps you in the mood and helps you stay on track in a non-vegan world.

  23. I’m not at all a fan of That Vegan Couple. Most of their ‘helpful’ videos telling other youtubers to go vegan come off as personal attacks. It’s not a good vibe at all. If it were me, I’d switch them out for Kalyn Nicholson. Kalyn gives wonderful life advice ranging across a variety of topics and her video have never once made me feel the Mean Girls ‘tormenting the kids that are different’ theme.

  25. Where is Vegan Zombie??? Love him!!
    Also, Bonny Rebecca, Rawvana and Raw Alignment need to be removed from this list since they all have come out with “Why I Am No Longer Vegan” videos. They all have reverted to eating fish and eggs due to “health issues” ie…. issues due to extreme water and juices cleanses and poorly planned vegan meals. Bonny Rebecca has also started using animal skins and animal furs in her apartment decor videos (wool rugs, etc.).

    Reply
    • Hey Robin,
      thanks so much for the comment! True, Vegan Zombie needs to be added – we actually have been wanting to update this post for a while but there are different priorities right now… need to do this ASAP.
      Especially since these 3 women all went back to eating animals, YES! Watched many videos on this and totally agree that they shouldn’t be on the list anymore. Thanks so much for pointing this out, I’ll add a Disclaimer for now and really want to update it as soon as I can.
      Also thinking about writing an article on how to STAY vegan and not make these mistakes others did.

    • that’s true, he’s right up there with Jon & Brian just not on our regular watch list – I’ll make sure to add him once I get to it :)

  29. The Happy Pear shouldn’t be on this list. The one who has a daughter proudly proclaimed that he couldn’t be a full vegan because he would have to disappoint his daughter when they walk by an ice cream place and spend time to educate her on why they don’t eat dairy based ice cream. Therefore, he basically said, in a video on his channel, that he’s not really vegan.

    Oh, and do we really want Gojiman on this list? He’s vegan alright. But he posted a highly critical video of the Gamechangers and decided a lot of the nutrition information was incorrect. Umm, tell me again how long he’s been vegan? I find a lot of twenty-something vegans aka baby vegans, who have that “i know everything” mindset. The Vegan View have a similar issue that I won’t get into here. I stopped watching their videos because I don’t get any pleasure from a couple of just between tweens, trying to act like a web based version of “The View”. And, of course, not having the vocabulary to pull off such a show. He has a great channel and posts often. It was he, Andre Venus, who had to deal with the heckles of his older brother, Jon, when he first went vegan. He most certainly should be on this list.

    Oh, and that wonderful wizard of food, who is like a mad scientist recreating some of the most difficult recipes currently packaged up for sale. I’m speaking of the man behind Sauce Stache. I believe his name is Mark as well. He takes all excuses for not being vegan away from everyone by showing how easy it is to recreate some of the recipes most of us figured were/are highly difficult. He’s created vegan sausages, and even made a sauce stache version of the Just Egg vegan product.

    Oh, and what about Jon’s brother, the doctor.

  30. Jon Venus just posted a video saying he is no longer vegan. He apparently hasn’t been since the birth of his son.

  31. Great source – will definitely give these a follow. Have you considered adding Plant Proof (Simon Hill)? He’s the reason I became plant based!

  32. This list should really be updated (add your own):

    1. Hench Herbivore: he is a science focused (nutitionist) British bodybuilder – yes, those exist (and actually does know his science, being a nutritionist and all).

    2. “Unnatural vegan” even states that she is not(!) (a) vegan; she has been called out multiple times over for nonsense she insists on that she can not proof, and that is scientifically categorically wrong, to the point that she refuses to discuss anything / participate in debates; plus, she has been banned due to her childish behavior to be even referred to by name by various vegan YT channels.

    3. There are a few vegan MDs that have YT channels (Dr Fuhrman, Dr. Klaper, …) – these should also be added.

  33. What a fantastic list! Thank you so much! Most of them I knew however, there were still several I look forward to looking up! May I also share my site which also helps to promote as many vegan recipe sites as possible? Please check out “Super Quick Plant-Based Recipes” on Facebook. Each day I post a recipe that takes only 5-20 minutes prep time and uses as few ingredients as possible. I advertise as many vegan recipe sites as I can find! Thank you!

  34. I would like to see David Ramms added to the list! If you haven’t already, I recommend checking his YouTube channel for some great content for vegans (also for vegans to share to non-vegans). From outreach conversations to reporting vegan news and informational videos, David makes some very entertaining content!

    • cool, sounds interesting! Looking forward to checking out his video — I just saw that he likes Lifting Vegan Logic who I also enjoy :)

  35. I already watch several of these YouTube channels, but my favorite channel isn’t even on this list.
    Ashley Wicka is my vegan queen!! She has so many useful videos, and so much information, especially for new, uneducated vegans. She also has a really cool story, as she’s been vegan since she was fourteen, even living with a completely meat eating family, and not knowing any other vegans. I highly recommend her channel.

    • wow, Ashley’s channel and story sound really interesting! Thanks so much for recommending her, looking forward to checking out her videos and updating the article within the next few months :)

  36. Hi, Thank you for the list. I have watched most of them over the years.
    I also suggest PLANT CHOMPERS, he is different than the rest as a
    retired researcher with very in-depth scince-backed video’s.
    He is very fair to look into other sides of the issue. Cheers, rachel
