Naomi Osaka's average daily diet
For breakfast, Osaka eats avocado on toast with smoked salmon and a green juice.
"I usually eat a larger breakfast because I go straight into training and won't eat again till the afternoon," she told Insider.
After training, she rehydrates with a Bodyarmor Lyte sports drink and some fruit, then it's time for lunch.
"My lunch usually consists of rice, vegetables, grilled salmon, or usually a great salad or bowl from Sweetgreen," Osaka said.
The athlete is an ambassador for Sweetgreen, and said that her favorite thing to eat is a Sweetgreen salad with green tea.
When she's not competing, Osaka usually has meetings in the afternoon followed by physical therapy until about 6 PM.
She eats dinner around 7 PM, and tends to opt for something light unless she's craving a particular food.
