‘actually, it’s vegan’ is about sharing my love for creating and eating delicious plant-based meals.

As a little intro on me… I’m Janine, 32 years old, born, raised, and living in South Dublin. My background is in all things digital marketing and advertising, and my interests outside of plant-based living are fitness and wellness, reading, and fashion. If you want to get to know me a bit better, check out my Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/janinemcbennett

Having been vegetarian for most of my life, I became fully plant-based in January 2022. What really kick-started it was my boyfriend deciding to try out veganuary, having been a fully-fledged meat eater up until then. I had so much fun experimenting with vegan recipes for the two of us, that since then, I haven’t looked back and neither has he. So much so, he’s been the other face behind the brand design and website, and a huge supporter behind the scenes!   

While the last year experimenting with recipes has been key to my vegan journey, I’m really lucky to have grown up in a really healthy household – I’ve been eating vegetarian for most of my life, having never really enjoyed any meat growing up. My mum is vegan and has been a huge source of inspiration and knowledge for me in all things plant-based health, so I have her to thank for it!  

While the intention behind this website is plant-based health and wellness, the main focus of ‘actually, it’s vegan’ isn’t about being vegan - it’s about showcasing yummy, easy to make, tasty, healthy meals and snacks, that just so happen to actually be vegan!  

Enjoy ,
