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.

Serena is all for snacks, chowing down on toasted Ezekiel bread with almond butter and matcha tea with lemon and cinnamon. For dinner, she goes for brown rice with fresh vegetables and hemp and chia seeds.

The sporting legend is reportedly pretty flexible when it comes to off season, adding tacos, fried chicken, and pizza to her roster of nuts, beans, lentils and sprouted quinoa.
