Kim-Julie Hansen is the person behind the vegan brands Brussels Vegan, Best of Vegan, Vegan Reset and Vegan Challenge (also called 7-Day Vegan Challenge). She became a vegan for ethical reasons in 2011 and soon also discovered the many health benefits of a plant-based diet.
In 2013, she started sharing her passion online to show people how easy it can be to adopt a vegan lifestyle, no matter how challenging it may seem at first. She is the author of two ebooks, The Practical Vegan and Simply Delicious.
She runs several very popular Instagram accounts, including the most-followed vegan food account on Instagram worldwide, bestofvegan, with over a million followers, and Idontwantsalad. She is originally from Brussels, Belgium, but now lives in Brooklyn, New York. While teaching people about veganism and healthy living is her biggest passion, she is also a certified Yoga teacher and loves to read and travel the world.
