Santiago Montoya of FC Millonarios won the fan vote with his “Formula 1 Power Bowl” recipe, and a grant to his chosen charity, Cardio Infantil.

“We are grateful to these talented athletes for sharing their creative recipes to encourage proper nutrition, which is fundamental to their lifestyles, and inspired by their desire to help a local charity in their communities,” said Dana Ryan, Ph.D., director of Sports Performance Nutrition and Education at Herbalife.
