What You Should Know

Ratio Protein Mixed Berry is a single-serve, 5.3‑ounce cultured milk snack that sits in the refrigerated dairy aisle alongside Greek and high-protein yogurts and refrigerated dairy-based smoothies. You’ll often find it stacked near other protein-focused tubs and grab-and-go breakfast options rather than with artisanal, spoonable yogurts. Shoppers reach for it on busy mornings, as a post-workout pick-me-up, or as a compact lunchbox addition for older kids and adults who want a protein-forward snack. Ratio’s brand positioning reads modern and performance-oriented: minimalist packaging, clear protein-forward messaging, and cues that appeal to time-pressed, health-conscious consumers who favor functional foods. The label leans into health halos — low sugar, high protein, and “mixed berry” fruit cues — while relying on terms like “natural flavor”; it does not show organic certification and is not overtly child-branded. In plain processing context, this is an industrially formulated dairy product made from ultra-filtered milk and protein concentrates with added stabilizers, sweetener, and color extracts. Sensory experience is thick and spoonable, denser than traditional yogurt thanks to ultra-filtered milk and whey protein concentrate, with a smooth mouthfeel from added stabilizers. Flavor is a bright berry note with a restrained sweetness and a slight aftertaste from the nonnutritive sweetener; color comes from concentrated carrot and blueberry juices. Packaged in a small plastic cup with a foil lid, the ritual is quick: peel, scoop, and eat on the move or mix into oatmeal or smoothies for an extra protein boost.
