The Yoo-Hoo Ghost Protein Drink has been developed from the supplement brand as a new refreshment created through a partnership with the classic chocolate drink brand to tap into consumer interest in nostalgic food and beverage experiences.
The drink features the classic flavor of the Yoo-Hoo Chocolate Drink, but boasts 25-grams of whey protein sourced from ultra-filtered milk in each 11-ounce serving. The product comes in with 120-calories and a low-sugar content, and comes packaged in cans to accommodate easy enjoyment out of the house.
The Yoo-Hoo Ghost Protein Drink is arriving now at The Vitamin Shoppe in the US market where shoppers can pick it up in individual cans and in 12-packs for $39.99. The drink is also rolling out to Walmart locations for $2.98 each.
