| 0:00.0 | Let's talk about protein. It's all anybody seems to talk about lately, and for good reason. |
| 0:06.7 | So many people want to build muscle and support their existing muscle, but getting enough |
| 0:11.6 | doesn't have to mean eating yet another bland chicken breast at the end of the day to hit your |
| 0:16.0 | protein goal. Ratio protein yogurt has 25 grams of protein per cup. That's more protein than four whole eggs. Not only is it packed with protein, but ratio protein has a smooth and creamy texture, so there's no need to compromise great taste when hitting your wellness goals, whatever they are. If you like a blend of citrus and sweetness, you might want to try their |
| 0:38.5 | key lime pie flavor. And get this, ratio protein's 25 grams of protein is the most protein per |
