ytoSport, Inc. will donate a portion of sales from each bottle to Hope For The Warriors®, a national nonprofit dedicated to restoring a sense of self, restoring the family unit and restoring hope for our service members and our military families.

The limited edition bottles are available on military bases around the country and will hit shelves on American military bases overseas later this month. The shakes are available in 14 ounce bottles in chocolate flavor and contain 25 grams of protein to help aid muscle recovery.
