The Marzetti Company introduced a first-to-category innovation, Marzetti Protein Ranch, offering three to four grams of quality milk protein per serving and fewer calories than Marzetti’s other Ranch offerings. This new lineup includes multiple ways for snackers to enjoy a protein-focused edition of a creamy, quintessentially American condiment: Protein Ranch Dressing, Protein Ranch Veggie Dip, and Protein Ranch Veggie Dip Snack Packs.
Protein has made its way into virtually every grocery store aisle, including the condiment aisle in the form of dips and spreads that make it easy to boost the intake of an essential nutrient. The appeal is in the effortlessness of it—a protein-packed version of ranch fits just as naturally into a snack plate, salad or sandwich without asking anything extra of the person eating it.
