"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…" the 44-year-old wrote on his website. "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!"

Though there's no word on whether the couple plan to stick to a plant-based diet, Beyonce posted several photos of healthy meals along the way.
