Ghost Protein RTD 12pk

GHOST Protein Drink is a ready-to-drink protein shake built for convenience: 25g of protein in an 11 fl oz can, with no powder, shaker or mixing required.

Nutrition Faktory sells this product as a 12-can case in the Yoo-Hoo Chocolate flavor.

Each can provides 120 calories, 25g protein, 3g total carbohydrate and 2g total sugars with 0g added sugar. The protein comes from ultra-filtered skim milk, and the can is labeled both lactose free and gluten free.

Because it is still made from milk, lactose free should not be confused with dairy free.

How Much Protein Is in One Can?

Each 11 fl oz can provides 25g of protein.

The protein comes from ultra-filtered skim milk rather than from a powdered whey or plant protein blend.

Milk naturally contains both casein and whey protein fractions, so this is a milk-protein-based ready-to-drink shake.

How Many Calories Are in GHOST Protein RTD?

Each can provides 120 calories.

That is for the entire 11 fl oz can, which is one serving.

How Much Sugar Does It Contain?

Each can contains:

• 2g total sugars
• 0g added sugars

The product does not use added sugar to sweeten the drink.

The ingredient list uses sucralose and acesulfame potassium as sweeteners.

Is GHOST Protein RTD Lactose Free?

Yes.

The can carries a lactose-free claim, and lactase enzyme is included in the ingredient list.

However, lactose free does not mean dairy free.

The protein comes from milk, and the allergen statement identifies milk.

Someone with a milk-protein allergy should not treat a lactose-free claim as meaning the product is suitable for them.

Is It Gluten Free?

Yes.

The Yoo-Hoo can used for this product listing carries a gluten-free claim.

No separate third-party gluten-free certification is identified on the can, so this should be understood as a manufacturer label claim.

What Is the Protein Source?

The first ingredient is ultra-filtered skim milk.

There is no separately listed whey isolate, casein powder, soy protein or plant protein isolate.

That makes this different from many ready-to-drink protein shakes that start with water and add a powdered protein ingredient.

How Much Calcium Is in a Can?

Each can provides 650mg calcium, listed as 50% of the Daily Value.

Milk is also the source of the protein in the drink.

Does It Contain Caffeine?

No caffeine is declared on the Yoo-Hoo can, and caffeine does not appear in the ingredient list reviewed for this product.

So this should not be confused with a caffeinated protein coffee or energy drink.

What Flavor Is This?

This listing is for Yoo-Hoo Chocolate.

The flavor uses cocoa powder processed with alkali and is produced under license using the Yoo-Hoo brand.

Ready-to-Drink Protein vs. Protein Powder

The main difference is convenience.

Choose a ready-to-drink protein shake if you want:

• No mixing
• No shaker bottle
• A consistent pre-portioned serving
• Something easy to grab from the refrigerator
• A drink you can take with you

Protein powder may make more sense if you want:

• More control over serving size
• More control over liquid volume
• Typically lower cost per serving
• Easier storage of a large number of servings

The better format depends on whether convenience or flexibility matters more to you.

Does It Need to Be Refrigerated?

The product is best served chilled.

Once opened, the label instructs you to refrigerate the can and consume it within 24 hours.

Unopened cans should be stored according to the package instructions.
