Beyonce goes on extreme vegan diet ahead of Coachella 2018

Beyonce has taken to Instagram to let her 112 million followers in on her latest health and fitness regime. 

Beyonce, 36, shared a snap of her self dancing in her Ivy Park gear and wrote: "44 days until Coachella!! Vegan Time!!"

And it's not the first time the mum of three has turned to a plant-based diet. 

Here's what you need to know as Jay Z's wife prepares for the Californian music festival. 

It's not the first time the former Destiny's Child singer has switched up usual diet. 

Back in 2013, Queen Bey first revealed she had cut meat and animal products from her meals. 

Jay Z, 48, wrote on his blog at the time: "On December 3rd, one day before my 44th birthday I will embark on a 22 Days challenge to go completely vegan, or as I prefer to call it, plant-based!!

"This all began a few months back when a good friend and vegan challenged me to embrace a 'plant-based breakfast' every day. It was surprisingly easier on me than I thought…

"Why now? There’s something spiritual to me about it being my 44th birthday and the serendipity behind the number of days in this challenge; 22 (2+2=4) coupled with the fact that the challenge ends on Christmas day…It just feels right!

"So you can call it a spiritual and physical cleanse. I will post my progress… Any professional vegans out there that have any great food spots please help out! Please ha. I don’t know what happens after Christmas. A semi-vegan, a full plant-based diet? Or just a spiritual and physical challenge? We’ll see…

And crucially added: "P.S. B is also joining me."

The power couple have dipped in and out of the diet several times since. 

22 Days Nutrition 

In particular, Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir's parents follow the 22 Day Nutrition plan. 

The site reads: "We believe that optimum health shouldn’t be something that is reserved for a select few, but is a right for all. Everyone deserves the opportunity to live their best, happiest life.

"That is why we created 22 Days Nutrition. Food is the foundation of better health. Our founder, Marco Borges’ personal mission is to help others achieve happiness through health.

"While working with Beyoncé and Jay-Z, he was able to share the benefits of a plant-based diet with them. Eating a more plant-based diet helped revolutionize the way they thought about food and nutrition."
