She co-owns a plant-based meal company. She&rsquo;s done the famous 22-day plant-based challenge on camera. She&rsquo;s written forewords to plant-based diet books. So people reasonably assume she&rsquo;s vegan and Google it to confirm.<\/p>\n<p>Then they find the quote, and the quote settles it. In a 2015 email to the New York Times, Beyonc\u00e9 wrote: &ldquo;First, it&rsquo;s important that you know I am not a vegan.&rdquo; She has never taken it back.<\/p>\n<style>.tiv-verdict{border-left:6px solid #e59875;background:#f8decd;padding:18px 22px;margin:28px 0;border-radius:0 14px 14px 0;color:#0a4a4a}.tiv-verdict .tiv-badge{display:inline-block;background:#c2603a;color:#fff;padding:4px 14px;border-radius:999px;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.4px;margin-bottom:8px}.tiv-verdict p{margin:8px 0 0}.tiv-check{font-size:13px;color:#0a6b6c;margin-top:10px}details.tiv-tl{border:1px solid #e5ded4;border-radius:10px;margin:10px 0;background:#fff}details.tiv-tl summary{cursor:pointer;padding:13px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#0a4a4a}details.tiv-tl[open] summary{border-bottom:1px solid #f0ebe2}details.tiv-tl .tiv-tlb{padding:12px 16px;color:#0a4a4a}.tivq{border:2px solid #29a579;border-radius:14px;padding:22px;margin:30px 0;background:#fff}.tivq .tivq-q{margin:16px 0;padding:14px;background:#f6f3ec;border-radius:10px}.tivq .tivq-q p{font-weight:600;margin:0 0 10px}.tivq button{display:block;width:100%;text-align:left;margin:6px 0;padding:11px 14px;border:1px solid #d9d2c5;border-radius:8px;background:#fff;cursor:pointer;font-size:16px;color:#0a4a4a}.tivq button.tiv-ok{background:#29a579;color:#fff;border-color:#29a579}.tivq button.tiv-no{background:#fbe9e4;border-color:#e59875}.tivq .tivq-res{display:none;font-weight:700;margin-top:14px;font-size:18px;color:#106050}<\/style>\n<div class=\"tiv-verdict\"><span class=\"tiv-badge\">QUICK ANSWER<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>No, Beyonc\u00e9 is not vegan.<\/strong> She's a part-time plant-based eater and co-owner of the plant-based brand 22 Days Nutrition, but she eats animal products, and she's said outright: &#8220;I am not a vegan.&#8221; As recently as 2024 she mentioned eating turkey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tiv-check\">Last fact-checked: July 7, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Where the confusion comes from<\/h2>\n<p>In December 2013, Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z took on a 22-day plant-based challenge designed by exercise physiologist Marco Borges. The idea was habit-formation: roughly 21 days to build one, so by day 22 plant-based eating feels normal. It worked well enough that they <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/3692527\/beyonce-vegan\/\">built a business on it<\/a>: 22 Days Nutrition, a plant-based meal-delivery company the couple co-own. Beyonc\u00e9 wrote the foreword to Borges&rsquo; bestseller The 22-Day Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>So the plant-based footprint is real and substantial. What&rsquo;s missing is the vegan label, and that&rsquo;s not an oversight. It&rsquo;s a choice she&rsquo;s stated clearly.<\/p>\n<h2>What &ldquo;part-time plant-based&rdquo; actually means<\/h2>\n<p>Per Borges, Beyonc\u00e9 eats a plant-based breakfast daily and does meatless Mondays. The rest of the time, animal products are on the menu. Her own framing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.com\/article\/n0gkbv\/beyonce-s-vegan-diet-update-she-still-eats-meat\">via BET<\/a>: &ldquo;I still eat meat and it&rsquo;s all about balance, but absolutely I make better choices.&rdquo; And in a September 2024 GQ interview she said she&rsquo;d &ldquo;given up meat, except for turkey, this summer&rdquo;, which tells you the reduction is seasonal and health-driven, not an ethical line.<\/p>\n<p>For a vegan magazine, honesty means not claiming her. Beyonc\u00e9 is a powerful plant-based ambassador who&rsquo;s put millions of eyeballs on meatless eating. She is not vegan, and pretending otherwise helps no one.<\/p>\n<h2>The vegan-ish timeline, tap to expand<\/h2>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>December 2013: the 22-day challenge<\/summary>\n<div class=\"tiv-tlb\">Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z do a plant-based challenge with trainer Marco Borges, around Jay-Z's 44th birthday, mid-tour.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>2015: the business and the denial<\/summary>\n<div class=\"tiv-tlb\">22 Days Nutrition meal-delivery launches; she writes the foreword to The 22-Day Revolution.

Aus S\u00fcddeutschland, besser gesagt aus dem Schwarzwald, seit 2019 Gr\u00fcnder von This Is Vegan, mittlerweile in Bali zuhause. Von hier aus treibe ich Tierschutzprojekte voran und reise um die Welt. Vegetarier bin ich seit dem 6. Lebensjahr, vegan seit \u00fcber 20 Jahren. Mein Ansatz war nie, Leuten ein schlechtes Gewissen zu machen. Sondern zu zeigen, wie einfach, lecker und entspannt vegan im Alltag funktioniert. Anziehung statt Ablehnung. Genau daf\u00fcr gibt's dieses Online-Magazin und den Plantbased Podcast: Menschen inspirieren, sich f\u00fcr Tiere und Umwelt stark zu machen und vegan zu leben.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.this-is-vegan.com","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yannick.haldenwanger\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/yannickhaldenwanger\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.de\/thisisvegan_magazin\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@thisisvegan"],"knowsAbout":["vegane Ern\u00e4hrung","holistische Gesundheit","Ern\u00e4hrung","vegane Rezepte","Kampfsport","Kraftsport","Proteine"],"knowsLanguage":["deutsch","englisch","franz\u00f6sisch","indonesisch"],"jobTitle":"Gr\u00fcnder","url":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/author\/yannick\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40650"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40650\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40670,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40650\/revisions\/40670"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40650"},{"taxonomy":"ernaehrungsform","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ernaehrungsform?post=40650"},{"taxonomy":"schwierigkeit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schwierigkeit?post=40650"},{"taxonomy":"schaerfe","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schaerfe?post=40650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
