In addition, GetPRO has no added sugars and low or 0% fat.

GetPRO will tap into the ever-growing protein segment here in the UK, cementing Danone’s leadership as the number one branded manufacturer in the yogurt category."

For anyone working towards their own fitness goals, the GetPRO range is a great post-workout option that delivers on taste and offers a variety of different products to suit their needs. These products are packed with protein to help support the maintenance and growth of muscle mass. But the range is not just about health, each of the products taste great too, helping consumers optimise their nutrition after exercise.” The GetPRO range is available in-store and online at Sainsbury’s and Morrisons, as well as Waitrose and Tesco from mid-September and Asda from mid-October, with prices ranging from £1.25-£2.50.
