Ghost has been on a mission to make supplements feel like treats, and its High Protein Hot Cocoa Mix is one of the clearest examples. Instead of another cold shake, the product is designed for mugs, mini marshmallows and cold weather.

For the 2025 holiday season, Ghost is expanding the line with White Chocolate Peppermint Bark, a winter-ready flavor that blends creamy white chocolate and peppermint candy vibes into a high-protein hot cocoa.

What High Protein Hot Cocoa Actually Is

High Protein Hot Cocoa is a whey-based powder that’s meant to be mixed with hot water or milk. Unlike traditional hot chocolate packets, each serving delivers:

  • Around 20 g of protein

  • A modest carb count and a few grams of sugar

  • Roughly 120 calories per mug, depending on preparation

Ghost leans into experience here: the mix includes mini marshmallows to make the drink feel like a café-style cocoa rather than a bare-bones supplement.

White Chocolate Peppermint Bark: Flavor Profile

The new flavor pivots from straight chocolate to a more confectionery profile:

  • A sweet white chocolate base instead of dark cocoa

  • Peppermint notes layered over the top to mimic peppermint bark candy

  • The same marshmallow component for full hot cocoa nostalgia

It’s built to scratch a holiday itch—something you might sip after dinner or post-training in December when the last thing you want is a cold shaker.

When and How to Use It

White Chocolate Peppermint Bark fits nicely into a few use cases:

  • As a nighttime dessert swap, replacing regular hot chocolate

  • As a post-workout drink on cold days when you want something warm

  • As a winter ritual that still helps you hit your daily protein target

Because the macros are close to a standard scoop of protein, it can be treated as a direct substitute in your plan—just in a more seasonal format.

Final Take

Ghost’s White Chocolate Peppermint Bark High Protein Hot Cocoa is less about reinventing protein and more about meeting people where they are in winter. If you’re already the type to curl up with peppermint cocoa once the temperature drops, turning that habit into a 20-gram protein hit is an easy win.
