GHOST partnered with Yoo-hoo for its return to the ready-to-drink protein category — same thin, cold, chocolate-malt profile, except this 11 oz can carries 25 grams of protein, 120 calories, and zero added sugar. That works out to roughly ten calories in the can that aren't protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eWhat's actually in the can\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMost protein RTDs are built the same way: water, a scoop of whey or milk protein isolate, gums to hold it together. GHOST went a different direction here. The protein in this can comes from \u003cstrong\u003eultra-filtered skim milk\u003c\/strong\u003e — no separate protein powder is added at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUltra-filtration pushes skim milk through a membrane that holds back the large protein molecules while letting water, lactose, and minerals pass. What's left is concentrated milk protein that still carries milk's native ratio of roughly \u003cstrong\u003e80% casein to 20% whey\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThat ratio is the point. Whey digests fast and spikes plasma amino acids quickly; casein clots in the stomach and releases amino acids slowly over several hours. A whey-only shake gives you the spike. A milk-protein shake gives you the spike \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e the tail. For anyone using a shake to bridge a gap between meals — mid-morning, on the drive home, before bed — the slower half is doing as much work as the fast half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe same filtration step also concentrates what's dissolved in milk: \u003cstrong\u003e650mg calcium (50% DV)\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e760mg potassium (15% DV)\u003c\/strong\u003e per can. Potassium is one of the more commonly under-consumed minerals in the American diet, and it's the primary intracellular electrolyte governing membrane potential in nerve and muscle tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eLactose-free, and here's why that's accurate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTwo things happen before this can is sealed. Ultra-filtration removes a large share of the lactose-containing liquid up front. Then GHOST adds \u003cstrong\u003elactase enzyme\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same enzyme your small intestine produces to cleave lactose into glucose and galactose, both of which absorb without further digestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFiltration alone gets you \u003cem\u003elactose-reduced\u003c\/em\u003e. Filtration plus lactase is what lets a dairy product be labeled \u003cstrong\u003elactose-free\u003c\/strong\u003e. It's the same process behind the lactose-free milk in the grocery dairy case, applied to a protein shake. If dairy protein has historically left you bloated, that's the mechanism that changes the outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eNutrition Facts
