Tyrese Haliburton is just 25 and knows that he can treat himself to sushi or a hamburger once in a while. However, the Indiana Pacers star knows when to limit their frequency and gives credit for his well-balanced diet to his chefs.

A die-hard pasta lover, he enjoys it for dinner, but when it comes to game day, he sticks to a fixed menu he doesn’t tamper with at all. Here’s all about the diet that helps him maintain his A-game on the court.

Since his second year in the NBA, Tyrese Haliburton has employed chefs, as he is not very proficient in cooking and would often end up eating at restaurants in their absence. “It’s just important that I have someone holding me accountable, but it’s also me eating the right things,” he told GQ in a 2023 interview.

The No. 0 point guard believes in an early and hearty breakfast. He loves a big plate of French toast combined with eggs and bacon, topped with his permanent fixture — a smoothie.

He likes to keep his favorite food, that is pasta, for dinner, which he complements with rolls and a Caesar salad — and, of course, a smoothie. He prefers to end his night with a shake made with ice cream and protein or have a cherry juice from his own brand, Cheribundi. He claims it helps him fall asleep easily.

Tyrese Haliburton is currently recovering from surgery for a torn Achilles tendon. He led the Indiana Pacers to the NBA Finals, but his injury worsened during Game 7, which they unfortunately lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He fell to the floor in pain and had to be escorted out mid-game.
