Welcome to Let's Be Vegan
I'm Shantelle. I created Let's Be Vegan back in 2015 with a mission to inspire people to eat more plants and explore the world of plant medicine.
I started Let’s Be Vegan back in 2015, long before influencers, Tik-Tok, and plant-based living became mainstream. What began as me sharing recipes, herbal blends, and my lifestyle online quickly grew into a community of people looking for a more approachable and inspiring way to experience wellness through food and herbs. With no blueprint for any of it, I taught myself how to build websites, publish digital cookbooks, create products, and grow an online platform completely from the ground up.
Everything I create is deeply inspired by community and the conversations I’ve had over the years. One of the biggest examples of that is my herbal parasite cleanse, which I first developed back in 2015 after sharing my personal herbal wellness journey online. What started as people simply asking me to make blends for them quickly evolved into one of the most recognized parts of Let’s Be Vegan and helped launch my herbal shop, with thousands of people around the world now using the cleanse as part of their wellness routines.
Over the years, my work has expanded into product development, herbal formulation, workshops, tv appearances, brand collaborations, and creating experiences that make plant-based living feel approachable, and real. What started in my kitchen has grown into a space where food, herbs, creativity, and community all come together in a way that still feels deeply personal to me.

I was a plant-based cooking instructor on the Harvard Campus at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education circa 2017-2018.

I hosted my very first wellness retreat back in 2016 with my dear friend and founder of Twerk Tabata Liera. (@Twerktabata)
