presented by Vegans, Baby and Portland Vegans

Veganuary is the annual month long event to encourage people to try living a vegan lifestyle every January. In 2018, Vegans, Baby launched a vegan dining month to make it easier for people taking the Veganuary challenge to go vegan in January by partnering with restaurants in Las Vegas to offer special vegan menus. 

2020 marks Vegans, Baby’s expansion of its annual vegan dining month to other cities — San Diego and Portland. For the entire month of January restaurants from around Portland (both vegan and vegan-friendly) are offering tasty, creative dishes and donating a portion of the proceeds to Veganuary and the local Out to Pasture Sanctuary. Portland’s Veganuary is brought you by Vegans, Baby and Portland Vegans, an Instagram food blog that posts delicious vegan eats from Portland and surrounding cities, as well as reviews, tips, local events and more things vegan. 

Want to take the challenge and go vegan for the month of January? Sign up over on Veganuary today!
