You might not have 12 Grand Slam tennis titles under your belt, but you can definitely fuel your workouts just like racket-wielding powerhouse Novak Djokovic.

That’s because, unlike some athletes (cough, Michael Phelps, cough), the US Open favorite isn’t scarfing down burgers before a match. In fact, Djokovic is one of the many successful sports pros who get their energy from a plant-based diet—he even opened a vegan restaurant, Eqvita, in Monte Carlo this year. (Take that, Tom Brady.) The tennis star started eating a strict vegan diet about a year ago, and has seen major changes since then. “I feel better than I ever have before,” he says. “I have much more energy, and I’m proud to be a vegan athlete.”

“I have much more energy, and I’m proud to be a vegan athlete.”

And it’s not just on the court where his talents lie; in the kitchen, Djokovic has become a whiz as well, whipping up delicious, filling vegan dishes featuring seriously edgy ingredients. Case in point: His raw, plant-based lasagna recipe features food blogger-beloved cashew ricotta.

We got to taste it ourselves at a recent dinner at New York City’s Refinery Rooftop, where the tall, lithe tennis star dug in next to us. The dish—which is super-satisfying without landing like a thud in your stomach—is being served on a Jacob’s Creek wine pairing menu at the hotel’s restaurant on, Parker & Quinn, from August 29-September 2. Too busy watching the US Open to book a reservation? Djokovic shared his recipe with Well+Good. Consider it the food world equivalent of a courtside seat.
