What happens when you mix humor, authenticity, and a love for peanut butter hacks? You get Nikki Boes — a vibrant voice in the vegan community (@vegan_af_) who’s showing the world that you don’t have to be a “perfect vegan” to make an impact.
In this lively and laugh-filled conversation, Nikki opens up about:
- Her personal transformation through a plant-based diet
- How she handles the trolls who attack her posts
- The way humor has become her secret weapon in advocating for animal welfare and health
- The real-life challenges of raising daughters in a social media world
- Balancing family dynamics when not everyone in the household is vegan
- Not taking herself too seriously
- Why the world needs more imperfect vegans
From her favorite snack combo (seaweed, pickles, and hot mustard!) to creative kitchen tips like refrigerating peanut butter upside down, Nikki proves that veganism is as fun as it is fulfilling.
Whether she’s volunteering at a dog shelter, ordering veggie-loaded pizza with no cheese, or breaking down health myths, Nikki shows us how one person can ripple out change across an entire community.
If you’ve ever thought veganism was too rigid, serious, or unattainable, this episode is for you.
