The number of vegan companies have gone up immensely in number while many people consider a diet change. Often, people become vegan as a healthier way of living, and may also hold the belief that every living creature, and the products of those creatures, should not be exploited by humans. With that being said, there are tons of tasty ( and healthy) alternatives to a lot of foods most people love to indulge in, like desserts! These wonderful vegan companies make us forget that they’re without the “normal” ingredients (like eggs, milk, etc.) and deliver up some delicious treats, check them out!
