NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Product of the Year USA, the largest consumer-voted program that recognizes innovation in consumer packaged goods, announced today that SK Energy Shots earned the title of "#1 in Energy" for 2014 for the second year in a row.
SK Energy, which is powered by natural caffeine from green coffee beans, green tea, and antioxidants, has proudly cast aside controversial ingredients, including taurine and guarana, since day one. Consumers have responded with their votes, proving that good energy is here to stay.
"Today's multi-tasking consumer needs energy day and night – and good energy at that. You shouldn't have to sacrifice your health, your palate or your wallet," said President, Sabrina Peterson. "We're psyched that college athletes, gym trainers, health professionals, even our health nut-ty moms – people who never considered themselves 'energy drinkers' – use SK as their good energy-on-the-go. "
After its first full year in the market, SK Energy quickly grew to be a leader in the category, distinguishing itself from the clutter by combining health and energy into a single, convenient package. That debut product earned SK Energy Shots its first coveted "#1 in Energy" title from Product of the Year USA in 2013.
Throughout 2013, SK Energy devoted time and energy to innovation, debuting a perfected Extra Strength shot, made with natural ingredients, and featuring new and improved natural flavors Pomegranate and Strawberry-Lemonade.
"We're committed to making the best tasting, best-feeling energy possible. It's exciting to see people are digging our approach to energy." Peterson added.
Always a favorite of athletes and disciplined performers, SK Energy Shots enjoyed high-profile advocacy this year from NFL superstars Wes Welker of the Denver Broncos, Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49er's, and super-fit FOX sportscaster Erin Andrews.
