This Is Exactly What Serena Williams Eats In A Day
If you need any further proof that a vegan diet can fuel peak athletic performance, just look at Serena Williams. Yep, the tennis superstar is a fan of plant-based eating, which pretty much smashes whatever assumptions you had about “rabbit food” out of the court.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, the 36-year-old revealed that ahead of her return to Wimbledon, she’d followed a vegan diet and “didn’t eat sugar”.
According to Healthista, the mum-of-one usually starts her day with oats, strawberries, tangerines, and almond butter, plus some metabolism boosting supplements.
Lunch often involves a light salad with lettuce, spinach, mandarin slices, cherry tomatoes, lime juice, onions, pita croutons, and sliced almonds.
