5 apps that make becoming a vegan much easier
Greater access to vegan recipes, travel tips and restaurant locators makes it easier to embrace a plant-based diet
Following a plant-based diet has become easier as more apps come onto the market.
Plant-based meat substitutes are dominating the food tech industry and non-dairy milks are lining the shelves at supermarkets – there’s no denying that veganism is booming globally.
People are becoming more concerned about how their consumption of animal products affects their health, the environment, and the well-being of animals.
With devastating fires in the Amazon, and vegan American presidential hopeful Cory Booker condemning factory farming, many are curious about a vegan lifestyle, but it can be a daunting task knowing where to begin and where to find resources about transitioning to a plant-based diet.
Luckily, many vegan apps are available. Vegan recipes, travel tips and restaurant locators can all be accessed in a quick download, which makes transitioning to a vegan diet a breeze.

Abillionveg has an important social mission to make the world more sustainable, one review at a time. Users can rate vegan dishes, grocery items and cosmetics to accumulate US dollars to be donated to an animal sanctuary of their choice.
Singapore-based founder Vikas Garg wants to increase vegan options worldwide and collectively donate US$1 million to animal sanctuaries by 2020. This app helps plant-based eaters to create a more accessible vegan world while giving back at the same time.

The app provides helpful progress trackers, tips and information to keep you on track to meet your nutritional needs.
