Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has revealed that ice cream is his favorite indulgence, explaining how his personal chef found a way to make the dessert more suitable for his demanding NBA lifestyle.
Brown admitted that he regularly treats himself to ice cream after games, viewing it as a reward for the work he puts in throughout the day.
“Ice cream is like my guilty pleasure. No matter how hard I work throughout the day, like, I feel like you deserve a reward. So ice cream has always been my reward. So after a long game or something, Julio makes sure he has some. He’ll find something in the arena.”
Brown’s chef, Julio, initially made sure the Celtics star could enjoy his favorite dessert by finding ice cream at arenas following games.
However, the two eventually developed an alternative designed to satisfy Brown’s cravings while providing additional nutritional benefits.
“We came up with the idea. We found a machine who can make like a protein ice cream that is fantastic for players. It’s just under 20 calories. You provide 12 grams of protein for each portion. You won’t feel guilty after you eat it all.”
