Beyoncé to 112 Million Followers: “Vegan Time!!”
In gearing up for Coachella, Beyoncé has told her 112 million followers on Instagram how she is preparing for the annual music festival.
The singer posted a photo of her rehearsing as well as one of avocado toast with the caption:
“44 days until Coachella!! Vegan Time!! Click the link in my bio to join me! 💪🏽✨”
The link in the bio is to 22 Days Nutrition, a plant-based challenge program created by Marcos Borges, which Beyoncé and her husband Jay Z publicly tried in 2013. The duo then joined forces with Borges, who is their “trainer and life coach,” in establishing the program’s meal service.
Beyoncé stated of the experience:
“The benefits of a plant-based diet need to be known. We should spend more time loving ourselves, which means taking better care of ourselves with good nutrition and making healthier food choices.”

My husband and I went vegan 34 years ago because we were animal rights activists. Back then we were doing it only for the animals so we were not paying attention to healthy eating. We were frequently junk food vegans!
We realized that had to change so we have become truly committed to a really healthy whole food plant based vegan (and gluten free) diet!! We are so happy! For me this has been the most uplifting thing I’ve ever done!
It is so exciting that the Vegan movement has been growing so rapidly- finally!! One night recently while my husband and I were watching one of the many excellent documentaries, we looked at each other and cried!! We never thought we’d see so much rapid growth in our lifetime! We are dedicated to the many Doctors (and others of course) who have devoted their lives to awaken people. I know too many to list here but I must mention Dr. Neal Barnard and John Robbins who inspired us over 30 years ago!! And today to Dr. Michael Greger for his magnificent website “nutritionfacts.org” and to Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn. I hope everyone comes to know them for their selfless dedication!!
For the animals, for the health and compassion for humans, and for our beautiful earth,
