Pistons' Cade Cunningham reveals his go-to snack on vegan diet

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is thriving on a vegan diet while propelling the team to new heights. Recognizing the importance of plant-based nutrition, Cunningham has collaborated with Daiya Foods, a brand dedicated to creating plant-based and dairy-free food products. To promote the company's latest offering, Cheesecake Bites, Cunningham visited a local Kroger Marketplace in Sterling Heights on September 17.

Cunningham admits that he isn't a fan of desserts as a professional athlete, but the dairy-free cheesecake bites fit within his dietary requirements. At just 100 calories per serving, he finds these cheesecake bites to be an excellent and tasty option. "A dairy-free dessert, I think that's a really cool thing," Cunningham remarked. "It's not a lot of good ones and it's one that I really enjoy."

A six-year veteran in the NBA, Cunningham has become an elite player, earning All-NBA first team honors last season. His impressive performance, including averaging 23.9 points, 9.9 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game, significantly contributed to the Pistons' success, securing a 60-win season and advancing to the playoffs for the first time since 2008.

Cunningham attributes his improved physique and strength to a high-calorie vegan diet, supported by the team's performance dietitian, Taylor Call, and his personal chef. By closely monitoring his body's needs and undergoing regular blood tests, Cunningham ensures that he can consistently perform at his best.
