About the Guest:

Nikki is a stay-at-home wife and mother to one daughter.  When she made the decision to go vegan, she recognized just how few resources exist for people with multiple food allergies. Realizing her own passion to help educate others in the allergy community that going vegan doesn’t have to be hard or boring, she created The Allergy Friendly Vegan on Instagram. Here she shares recipes that exclude many of the major allergens and tips for managing a vegan lifestyle.
