Harper Collins

1 Tabitha Brown

Actor, producer, and author of the Evolving Vegan cookbook

“My resolution is to set an intention for my food and body before every meal. There’s substantial research now showing that your body processes food differently depending on mood and intention—it’s truly amazing how the mind and body work
in tandem.” 

Letizia Cigliutti

3 Daniel Humm

Chef/owner of New York City’s Eleven Madison Park

“Coming off of my sub-three Boston marathon time from 2023, my resolution is to break three hours again. I’ve been experimenting with the nutrition that works best for my running, and how to fuel with plants
while training hard.”

Lauren Toyota

5 Lauren Toyota

TV personality, content creator, and author of the Hot For Food All Day cookbook

“I want to make my bed every day, ensure I take as much time as I can for myself (whether that’s exercise, meditation, going for a pedicure or massage—this is important as a mom), and find a hobby that’s different and develops a skill but is something relaxing. I’ll have to let you know what I find!”

Tracy Nguyen

6 Evanice Holz

Chef/owner of Señoreata and winner of Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race

“I want to take siestas or naps whenever possible—I picked this up from a trip to Spain this year, where I saw how much a little nap affected my mood, energy, and anxiety levels throughout the day. We’re all part of a toxic work culture that prioritizes max productivity [without] enough time to reset and recalibrate. More naps in 2024!”

Zacchary Bird

Social media personality and author of The Vegan Baker cookbook

“In 2024, I plan to suffer fewer fools in my comments section and not waste my time fighting people trying to bring vegan food down when I could spend that energy spreading the joyful news about how good it is.”

Reina Montenegro

“My plant-based resolution is to try one new recipe each week. It’s easy to get into the daily habit of making your favorite meals, but nothing keeps my veganism more exciting than experimenting and trying something new.”
