How does a vegan know when someone isn’t vegan?
They’ll tell you… defensively 🫣

It’s always fascinating to me how a post that isn’t asking anyone to change…
somehow feels like a personal attack to people it wasn’t even for 😅

No one’s attacking you.
No one’s trying to convert you.
No one asked what you had for dinner.

And yet… here they are pushing their beliefs down peoples throats 🤦🏼‍♀️
(which I thought was what vegans were supposed to do? 😆)

Anyway.. back to helping vegans build muscle in peace 🌱💪🏻

My yin yang of gym training ladies and gents ☯️💪🏻

If I could only give you one piece of advice for your vegan muscle growth journey it’s this:

🔥 Ignite your fire and learn how to keep it ignited.
🚀 Become so motivated to achieve your goals that you don’t need to force yourself through the journey.

Do that and you’ll instantly notice the difference in the quality of your gym sessions and the momentum you’re building 🌱

I could have put so much more effort into this and used actual food but.. plot twist incoming 😶… this isn’t actually what I eat as a vegan building muscle?!?! 😱

I know, absolute shocker!!! It’s almost as though vegans don’t eat quinoa for protein, don’t have to force feed themselves large volumes of food or rely on protein powder like a crutch 😮

Instead, we have protein sources like tofu, tempeh, seitan, sunflower mince, TVP, protein noodles, edamame noodles etc that we can eat instead that allow us to hit our protein goals more efficiently so we actually have room in our stomachs for all the other things we want to eat 💚🌱

To sum up, stop eating carb/fat sources as your main protein sources 😊

I’m still waiting for my soy b***s to grow… but while I wait I’ll just watch the soy muscle I’m growing instead 😉

Being vegan and building muscle doesn’t mean you have to have the same 3 meals over and over in order to hit your protein 🌱

Here are 7 meal ideas you can have for vegan muscle growth 💪🏻

If vegan muscle growth feels slow, it’s tempting to look for a shortcut.

Another supplement.
Another powder.
Another “missing piece.”

But most people don’t need more extras.
They need stronger foundations.

🍽️ Calories
🧱 Protein
🏋🏻 Training

Get those right consistently first.

Vegan Campout 2026 🌱

I’ve only been twice but it really is a highlight of my year! To look around and know everyone there shares the same values and morals as I do.. it makes you feel part of such a community 💚

Seeing in person was a very special moment of the whole experience for me, and I already have my ticket booked for next year 😁
