11 Inspiring Instagram Accounts To Follow Today

Today I’m sharing 11 of my favorite inspiring instagram accounts. These accounts inspire me every single day. I’ve been lucky enough to meet many of the ladies behind these accounts in person, and the ones I haven’t met yet I’ve been lucky enough to communicate with, and they are all super sweet, kind-hearted individuals. Each of them in their own way is doing their part to make this planet a little healthier, a little more beautiful and/or a little kinder. Follow their accounts for some wonderful, witty and beautiful inspiration.

Lindsay of @lindsaysb is witty as can be and always eating the most delicious plant-based foods! Her photos prove how delicious plant-based eating can really be. And as I can attest, she’s just as funny in real life as she is on instagram. She has a skill for finding the most delicious plant-based dishes in NYC. And when she’s posting her own cooking, her posts often include the recipes right in the comments section. Follow her at @lindsaysb.

Rachel of @rachLmansfield is the queen of breakfast. Every culinary creation that this new bride posts is beyond enviable. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve commented on her drool-worthy posts, “I need this NOW!” She’s known for creations like double chocolate oats and blueberry muffin overnight oats drizzled with vanilla almond butter. Follow her at @rachLmansfield.

Paris of @greensandfries is always posting delicious vegetarian and vegan foods. Her account first caught my eye because I loved the name, which epitomizes everything I’m about…healthy plant-based foods, like greens, while still enjoying delicious food, like fries. Her account proves that yes you can be really into healthy, cruelty-free eating while still enjoying delicious food! I find her approach to healthy, kind eating so relatable. Follow her at @greensandfries.

Kim created @bestofvegan to show that vegan eating can be easy and so delicious. Everyday she posts vegan recipes submitted to her by others. The actual recipes are included right in the instagram posts! If that isn’t healthy eating inspiration right at your fingertips, then I don’t know what is! You will be amazed by some of the creativity and delicious dishes posted on her account. Follow at @bestofvegan.

Eleni of @conveythemoment runs a beautiful fashion and lifestyle account. She follows a vegan diet so most of her clothes and accessories are vegan friendly too. I started following her way back when she had only a few thousand followers and I was drawn to her gorgeous pictures and kind demeanor right away. Since then she’s grown to be wildly popular. Plus, she lives in Calgary and posts pictures of some of the most beautiful natural landscapes ever! Follow her at @conveythemoment.

Ullenka of @dehappy5_mama has a beautiful account that showcases the healing power of plant foods through amazing food art. Ullenka found her way to a raw vegan diet in an attempt to help her daughter who struggled with a horrible and severe case of eczema. In adopting a raw vegan diet Ullenka saw her family’s health drastically improve. And she shares their inspiring improvements with all of us through her beautiful photos. This is an amazing account to follow if you have children with skin or health issues. And when you head to her account look for her daughter’s before and after pictures. You will be absolutely amazed. Follow her at @dehappy5_mama.

Sophie of @sophiegamand does amazing work on behalf of shelter animals. She created the #PitBullFlowerPower campaign which showcases shelter dogs in all their adorable potential. She heads to shelters, photographs their adoptable dogs in these super cute flower crowns and shares the photos on her instagram account. Her work has been amazingly successful in finding shelter dogs their forever homes. Not to mention her pictures are adorable to look at. And remember when I posted about Chandler the fourteen year old dog in dire need of a home? Sophie was instrumental in helping me find her a home by connecting me with @susiesseniordogs (who you can read about below). Follow her at @sophiegamand.

Jessica of @jessicamurnane has an account that is a destination for beautiful photos, creative plant-based food inspiration and overall positivity. Her creativity in the kitchen blows me away! She’s a true recipe innovator. She’s so humble she would never admit it, but trust me, she is! She has an amazing success story of treating and managing her endometriosis with a plant-based diet. It’s been wonderful to follow her journey and get little glimpses into her life. Follow her at @jessicamurnane.

Karissa of @veganalamode is sweet as can be! This California girl has a vegan lifestyle account that includes everything from cooking to fashion. Her recipes are delicious and she shares photos from some of the most delicious plant-based restaurants California has to offer. She also follows a gluten-free diet so this account is perfect for someone wanting to eat less meat, less gluten and lots of plants! Follow her at @veganalamode.

Stephanie of @steph.montie is a YouTuber who is all about sustainability, compassion and health. She’s very knowledgeable about a high carb low fat vegan diet and has taught me a lot along the way about this specific type of plant-based diet. And want to know the coolest thing? She’s still in college! She is so smart and so insightful at such a young age. She may be younger than many of us but she can sure teach us a lot! Follow her at @steph.montie.

Inspired by Susie the senior dog, @susiesseniordogs brings awareness to overlooked, homeless senior dogs. Each day the account posts older dogs from around the country that are in need of homes. This account has single-handedly helped thousands of senior dogs, who would otherwise live out the rest of their life in a shelter, find loving forever homes. Susie’s Senior Dogs was the final resource that connected Chandler (mentioned above) with her new mom. This account is the epitome of the good that can come out of social media. And that’s a beautiful thing to see. Follow the senior pups at @susiesseniordogs.
