JUST Egg announced this morning that up-and-coming plant-based NBA player Cade Cunningham has joined the brand as an ambassador. JUST Egg is America’s fastest-growing egg brand, despite being made entirely of plants.
To celebrate the partnership (and the recent news of Cade’s drafting at Detroit Pistons!) JUST Egg and Cade have come together to collaborate with much-loved neighborhood cafe FOLK Detroit to offer local fans a limited edition Cade Cunningham special menu item.
“The Cade Stack” will be available in the Corktown location this August for a limited time and will include JUST Egg Folded, Cade’s go-to clean, nutritious protein, as well as shakshuka cheese sauce, lettuce leaf basil, greens, Rosemary potato crisps, all on Zingerman’s freshly baked plant-based country bread.
The news of Cade’s ambassadorship for JUST Egg comes as the industry has seen a steady increase in athletes partnering with plant-based brands, ditching the likes of Pepsi, Mountain Dew and McDonalds for health-focused brands to better match their performance based diets.
