This new post-workout drink brings NFL-grade nutrition to everyday athletes

The Drop: Momentous, a high-performance supplement brand founded by former NFL offensive lineman Jeff Byers, has introduced Elite Recovery – a comprehensive post-workout drink developed in partnership with one of the NFL’s top teams.

The Details: Post-exercise recovery for all athletes

Elite Recovery is designed to support athletes after their toughest workouts.

The formula was crafted in collaboration with NFL nutritionists, who typically prepare hundreds of different smoothies and juices daily to keep pro athletes in peak condition.

Spotting an opportunity, Momentous worked with an NFL organization to find a simpler solution. “It started with a clear objective: develop a formula that would address every aspect of recovery, ensuring their athletes could perform at their peak day in and day out,” explains Momentous co-founder and CEO Jeff Byers. 

Elite Recovery is available in Chocolate and Vanilla flavors.

“One, ready-to-drink bottle now delivers the benefits of protein, creatine, magnesium, ashwagandha, and more nutrients an athlete’s body demands post-workout,” adds Byers.

After rigorous testing involving over 10,000 bottles, Momentous finalized the Elite Recovery formula. “Elite Recovery evolved through multiple rounds of iteration between NFL performance staffers and Momentous, as both teams worked to hone the formula to perfection,” Byers notes.

The result is single drink that aims to pack everything needed for optimal recovery into one bottle, making professional-grade nutrition accessible to athletes at all levels.

“Everyone should be prioritizing recovery, regardless of their status as a professional athlete. After the most intense workouts; whether you’re training for a marathon, wrapping up a long bike ride, or finishing high school football practice, your body needs a certain set of protocols to recover properly,” says Byers.

What’s inside

To achieve these recovery benefits, Momentous has carefully crafted Elite Recovery with a blend of key ingredients.

“Our goal was to create a product that addressed every recovery need of elite athletes in one product. Eventually, with the formula locked in, Momentous turned its attention to sourcing the highest quality and most effective ingredients,” says Byers. 

Each serving of Elite Recovery contains:

• Protein: A substantial 45 grams serving to support muscle repair and growth after intense workouts.
• Complex carbohydrates: Help replenish energy stores depleted during exercise.
• Magnesium and Ashwagandha: Promote the reduction in soreness, relaxation and quality sleep
• Creatine: Promotes the development of lean muscle mass and may enhance strength and power output.
• Collagen: Supports joint health and mobility, which is crucial for long-term athletic performance.
• L-Theanine: Helps manage post-workout inflammation with tart cherry

“The Elite Recovery formula ensures that soreness is reduced, injury risk is lessened, muscle growth and repair is aided, and energy stores are replenished after demanding training,” says Byers.

Where to buy

Elite Recovery made its exclusive launch in 2023 only to NFL athletes. Plus, an additional 1,000 units were sold to support athletes at the Paris Olympics.

Now, Elite Recovery is available on Momentous’ website. It’s sold in packs of six for $75.95 (and eligible for free shipping). Each pack contains an even mix of Chocolate and Vanilla flavors.

“We’re honored to bring the work done with the top 1-percent of performers to the public,” adds Byers.
