Felix is the most decorated U.S. track and field athlete of all time, and while she officially retired from the sport in 2022, her fitness goals are still top priority.
“I’m a mom, I’m a business owner, I’m doing all the things so I just love the convenience of it and that it’s grab and go,” Felix exclusively tells Sporting News of her partnership with Abbott, global healthcare company, on their Ensure Max Protein 42g.
The convenience of the product is one aspect of the protein that works for Felix’s schedule. She’s a mom to daughter Camryn and son Trey, whom she shares with her husband Kenneth Ferguson, runs her footwear brand Sayesh, and still fits in workouts, to which Ensure Max Protein 42g comes in handy.
“I can have it after a workout and once my muscles are broken down it nourishes them and builds them up,” she says. “It allows me to be really intentional with my nutrition and the protein that I’m getting. I’m really excited for the partnership and for others to join in as well.”

When asked what some tips are for beginners or busy people like herself, to ensure that they are making their protein goals she noted that, “I would say take it with you. Take Ensure Max Protein with you. For me, it’s really key to get that amount of protein in right after a workout, and so 42 grams is amazing.”
“When I’m working out, I’m on to the next thing so if I have it in my bag, then I can just make it a part of my day and just keep it with me. So that’s my tip, make sure that you grab it, you have it with you, and you’re intentional about getting it in because it is so important for everyone to rebuild, to have energy with your mobility, all of those things.”
Ensure Max Protein 42g is available at several retail locations nationwide.
