SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Kate Farms, the creator of Komplete Ultimate Shakes, is excited to announce personal endorsement deals with professional auto racing driver, Tristan Nunez and undefeated professional boxer, Gabino Saenz. Komplete is the world's first vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and soy-free ready to go drink meal replacement shake available in three flavors including Vanilla Bliss, Cocoa Fudge and Jav'a Latte and can be purchased nationally at The Vitamin Shoppe.

Tristan Nunez will start getting a boost from Komplete beginning with this weekend's American Le Mans Series (ALMS) race on the Streets of Baltimore (ABC; 9/1/13, 12:00 p.m. ET). Nunez, is the 17-year-old son of a former tennis professional and in 2013, became the youngest class winner in Rolex GRAND-AM Series history. In 2012, he became the youngest sportscar champion when he scored 11 wins, 12 poles, and seven track records in his rookie season in the Cooper Tires Prototype Lites Powered by Mazda Series, going on to secure the point's championship.

"As a race car driver I would never consider putting regular gas from a gas station in my race car, so why would I consider doing the same thing with my body," says Tristan Nunez. "I struggled to find a racing fuel until I found Komplete. Komplete delivers 21 super foods that boost my immune system and allow me to recover from the stress of a race, slow burning carbohydrates for sustained energy and focus, the cleanest burning protein on the planet that doesn't weigh me down free of fillers, preservatives, genetically modified ingredients and of the most common allergens. I usually don't eat much while I'm at the racetrack, so Komplete is the perfect answer for me."

Later this month, Gabino Saenz will be sponsored by Komplete for his upcoming fight against Dominic Coca on September 28^th at the Stubhub Center in Carson, CA which may air on HBO and can also be streamed live online at www.toprank.com. Saenz, who has been pro for about two years now has been ranked no. 1 in the nation as an amateur and has already won several national championships.

"Having boxed for the past 13 years, I have been introduced to thousands of diet plans, hundreds supplements and nutritional products," states Gabino Saenz. "So to be honest when I was first introduced to Komplete I was a little skeptical but after trying the product, I felt great. Nutrition plays a huge role in the sport of boxing and if you don't feel good you are definitely not going to perform like you need to. Having the right foods and products in your body as a professional athlete is crucial to you career. As a professional undefeated boxer, I depend on body more than ever and am always researching and looking for the best, healthiest and natural product to put in my body so it can perform at its best. Kate Farms Komplete is just the product that I was looking for and I am very excited and proud to have such a great company backing me up."
