Natalie Portman
Updated
The ‘Thor' star has been a vegetarian since the age of nine, so transitioning into a vegan was a natural process for her. Portman serves vegan food to her two children with husband Benjamin Millepied: son Aleph, 12, and a six-year-old daughter Amalia, and she is adamant they are not missing out on anything. She said: "People don't feel like they're sacrificing anything, "They can still have delicious food and not be harming the planet."
Ellen Pompeo
Updated
The ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star went completely vegan after a visit to the doctors. Ellen – who shares three children with her husband Chris Ivery; daughters Stella Luna, 13, and Sienna May, 9 and son Eli Christopher, six – revealed her entire family have adopted the vegan lifestyle and they love it. She said: “It’s not tricky at all – it’s actually easier because meat you have to cook it before it goes bad. Grains and lentils and rice and beans, everything is in the pantry already.”
Emily Deschanel
Updated
The mother-of-two has no qualms raising her kids on the same vegetable and fruit based diet she’s on. Emily- who shares sons Henry, 11 and Calvin, 7 with David Hornsby – thinks it’s “a great way to feed your babies. Henry loves veggies, and he’s totally into it.”
Jenna Dewan
Updated
As a dancer the ‘Step Up’ star has proven that vegans are not weaker than meat eaters. Jenna has been a vegan since the age of 10 and introducing that diet and lifestyle to her two children has been easy. But Jenna is adamant she will not force her nine-year-old daughter Everly - who she shares with ex-husband Channing Tatum - to remain vegan when she's older if she wants to try other foods. She said: "When Everly gets older, I think we should allow her to be her own person."
Jennifer Lopez
Updated
J.Lo credits her vegan diet for giving her heaps of energy for her movie and music careers. She said: "I love that I'm eating more greens. It makes you feel so much better." Her twin boys Emme and Max, 14 – who she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony – have been adopting J.Lo’s vegan diet. But the songstress admits they are not fans of vegan cheese.

She said: "Bear was grown on vegan food and we'll continue nourishing him with a healthy diet. He'll be eating an organic plant-based diet."

She said: "Children can thrive without eating meat and without eating dairy. The only thing that vegans can't get from the foods that we eat is B12."
Carrie Underwood
Updated
Before she and her husband, ice hockey hunk Mike Fisher, were expecting their first baby, the country star was vegan. Carrie now raises her own chickens and will occasionally eat eggs.
