Often when people think about vegan cuisine their mind immediately goes to somewhere boring and flavorless, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Eating vegan can be just as fulfilling and delicious as anything you’re eating now – and healthier too! Badass vegan boss Pinky Cole, owner of Slutty Vegan restaurant in Atlanta, has made it her mission to prove how easy (and tasty) it can be to transition to a vegan lifestyle.
“It’s all about your mindset. Nothing in life is hard. You make up your mind to brush your teeth and take a shower every day. So it’s literally as easy as making the decision to commit to yourself, to want to be a better you, and the minute that you want to be a better version of you, anything is possible. All you gotta take is the first step and you’re halfway there,” says Cole.
We’re all about being a better version of ourselves, and after trying some of Cole’s yummy bites during her cooking demo at Essence Festival, we are admittedly believers.

Trust us, it will blow your mind and your tastebuds, and change everything you thought you knew about vegan cuisine.
