Tom Brady's Real Favorite Sweet Treat? Chocolate, Not Avocado Ice Cream
Tom Brady reveals his weakness for chocolate, despite his strict health regimen and plant-based diet emphasis.
Tom Brady admits he's a sucker for chocolate—a confession that contradicts his carefully curated health-focused image.
In his latest mailbag, the seven-time Super Bowl champion revealed his true dietary weakness when asked which food he can't live without. The answer surprised many given his legendary commitment to disciplined eating.
"Chocolate. I love chocolate," Brady said. "I've attempted to switch to healthier chocolates over the years. But you give me a little chocolate ice cream or chocolate lava cake or chocolate brownie or something with some sort of chocolate crunch, I'm a sucker for that. I'm sorry."
The Brady Diet Contradiction
Brady's confession stands in stark contrast to his meticulously documented TB12 regimen, which consists of roughly 80% plant-based foods and 20% animal-based foods. In warmer months, he reportedly leans even more heavily toward plant-based options—though he's been emphatic about rejecting vegan or vegetarian labels.
"When people ask if I'm a vegan or a vegetarian, I tell them no, decidedly not," Brady said previously.
The Avocado Ice Cream Pivot
Brady became synonymous with avocado ice cream after promoting it in 2016 during his Patriots years, branding it as a path to "peak performance." He's maintained that enthusiasm publicly, even joking about serving the concoction to Rob Gronkowski during a recent FOX pregame appearance.
But chocolate remains his true indulgence.
When pressed on the contradiction, Brady doubled down: "It's the truth. I'm not going to show you my fridge, because there's a lot of chocolate in there. But just little bits at a time, I enjoy."
