[Uncle Matt's Organic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncle-matts-organic-1) Ultimate Athlete is a new Pre-Workout Performance Shot that was created in collaboration with the [Denver Broncos'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dionilife) in-house chef. This functional wellness shot is made with a proprietary blend of organic beets, orange juice, coconut water, ginger and lemon juice, and it's designed to boost athletic performance, hydrate and reduce oxidative stress.

"We wanted to create a great-tasting pre-workout shot that would support sports and fitness goals without chemicals or caffeine," said Susan McLean, VP of Marketing and Innovation at Uncle Matt's Organic "[the] Ultimate Athlete Shot is delicious and organic, but just as effective as the mainstream shots out there."

According to the brand, a recent study proved the effectiveness of beets in boosting athletic performance and reducing muscle soreness, and for that reason, organic beet juice and powder is a key component of the pre-workout shot.
