As Venus Williams settles into her 18th US Open tournament, there's one thing that will definitely keep her fueled: plants!
Williams, 36, has teamed up with Silk for its Do Plants campaign to promote healthy, plant-based eating. And it's a partnership the tennis great calls "a wonderful synergy."
'We are really believe in the same things, of a plant-based lifestyle and having a lot of natural foods in your diet," she tells PEOPLE. "I've had a lot of fun working with them and [I've] been able to spread the message of plant-based living."
The athlete spoke about her path to healthy-eating in an advertisement for the campaign, crediting her family for the lifestyle change.
"They saw me having health difficulties and they suggested, 'Why don't you try a plant-based lifestyle,' " she said in the video.

However, Williams tells PEOPLE she's "not completely" vegan.
"I think plant-based is how you define it. Plants first, so that's what it's about. Mostly plants and there are some things I haven't been able to get completely out of my diet," she says.
"It becomes more challenging because I travel so much. You know, if you find yourself in the middle of somewhere – in China – it's harder. So always, usually plants are my first go-to."
She may be all about healthy eating, but there's one savory treat she just can't resist.
"I don't ever skimp on my butter. I love butter," Williams says. "Some things I've struggled to let go. But it's all about leading a healthy lifestyle that works for you."
