Can you believe January is already over?! I can. I mean, winter months move real slowly.
BUT, the 31 Days of Vegan Challenge felt like it flew by!
And, I wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for your participation in this challenge! The response was overwhelming and, on behalf of the whole Rainbow Plant Life team, I am so grateful to have so many of you on board with us on this journey.
Here are a just a few numbers that capture the scale of your involvement.
- 16,416 participants who signed up for the 31 days of Vegan Challenge. Y’all rock!
- 4,340 email submissions received for the grand prize. Incredible!
- 2,438 Instagram entries for the weekly prizes.
Thank you to everyone who made this challenge a success by participating. Whether you’re a seasoned vegan or just exploring plant-based eating, we hope you found inspiration in our recipes and are feeling more confident in incorporating vegan dishes into your routine.
We would also like to extend a special thank you to those who submitted their photos and participated in our drawings. We appreciate your continued support and engagement. It was such a joy to see a glimpse of your experience in the kitchen.
We’re considering doing more vegan challenges like this in the future (perhaps a recipe of the month club with monthly prizes, available worldwide). So if that’s something that interests you, let us know in the comments!

I loved participating and I would love to participate in a monthly recipe club. This is the most flavorful food I’ve ever made and eaten. Thank you for your hard work and intuition, Nisha and team!
We’re thrilled to hear it, Chy! We will definitely keep in mind your suggestion 🙂 You are very welcome for everything, thanks for following!
Omg! You used one of my pictures! 😁 I’m so delighted! This was so much fun, Nisha! I loved trying so many new recipes and they were ALL delicious! Thank you so much for the motivation and your creative genius and talent and excellent taste!
We’re so glad you enjoyed the challenge. Thanks for being a loyal reader, Vicki!
I so enjoyed being vegan for January, I’m continuing into February. My health is so much better, my demeanour improved and my skin fabulous. No more cow milk dairy for me EVER again!
I had so much fun doing this challenge! Couldn’t wait to check my inbox every morning for the daily recipe, and so many of my non vegan friends asked for recipes when they saw the pictures! I hope you do more challenges, I will definitely take part !
Thank you so much for participating in the challenge, Tiffany! We are definitely doing some more in the future, just keep your eyes peeled 🙂
Dear Nisha, Thank you for running this challenge. I made 10 recipes total that I would have never tried as they would always stuck in my “one day” pile without your little push. I would love future contests/challenges/etc with or without prizes just to keep me more experimental in the kitchen!
Thank you for the feedback, Vicky! So cool to hear how the challenge impacted you! We’re definitely thinking of doing more in the future. 🙂
Yes to a recipe of the month club!!
Sounds like a cool idea, Kim! We’ll pass it along- thanks!
Thank you Nisha, for this oh-so-fun challenge! I made about 20 of the recipes, all new to me, which made January mealtime exciting every night. Thank you ever so much for this slice of Joy.
We’re so glad you enjoyed the recipes, Carol. Thanks for being a loyal reader 🙂
I made but didn’t post any challenge recipes this month, but always love them.
Yes, please do another one.
Thanks for participating Roberta, even though you didn’t post anything! We will definitely keep your suggestion in mind 🙂
I’d love more challenges, please!
Noted, Kristin!
I really enjoyed receiving recipes daily in this challenge. I hope you continue doing more challenges as your recipes are yummylicious!
Thank you
Lovely to hear it, Kim! And yes, creating more challenges is definitely on our radar! 🙂
