If you have an Instagram account, you no doubt know there's no shortage of mouthwatering, food-loving Instagram feeds to follow (hint: we have one) whether you're into sweets and pastries, coffee, or even food-minded design and decor.

But for those who've given up animal products, whether for ethical or personal reasons, many of the these accounts aren't too helpful, and can be off-putting to the animal-product-averse. Rest assured: some of our favorite Instagram accounts are 100 percent vegan and vegetarian friendly.

From plant-based bloggers to big-name chefs and restaurants, here are the ethically sound, sustainability-minded, meat-free vegan Instagram accounts that we love.
