Athletes Addicted to Plant Junkie

Where NBA and NFL players are going for plant-based comfort food

NEW YORK, June 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Top NBA and NFL athletes are making time in their busy schedules to get a taste of Plant Junkie, the newest plant-based vegan comfort food spot in New York. Hidden in an Urban space food hall on west 52^nd street, Plant Junkie is centrally located, and despite the modest presentation, is fast becoming the go-to lunch spot for the health-conscious on the move and the word is spreading fast.

Green Bay Packers linebacker Justin Hollins was recently seen enjoying a delicious low country bowl, a mouth-watering combination of plant-based buffalo wings, mac and cheese, and garlic broccoli, while Giants player Darren Waller indulged in the popular Bangkok bowl. Soon after, NBA star Rudy Gay was spotted picking up a few dishes for lunch before heading out of town. Other notable athletes who swear by the yummy vegan cuisine include Giants players Jashaun Corbin, and Makai Polk.

These players join a growing number who are making the switch to a plant-based diet for its health and performance benefits. According to a recent report by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, there has been a surge in the number of professional athletes who are adopting plant-based diets. This trend has been fueled by a growing body of research that suggests that plant-based diets can improve overall health, reduce inflammation, and enhance athletic performance.

"We are thrilled to have Justin Hollins dining with us!" said Plant Junkie co-founder and CEO, Nat Milner. "Our mission has always been to make it easy and convenient for people to make healthy, plant-based choices, and we are proud to be a destination for athletes who are looking to fuel their bodies with the best possible nutrition."
