How do I fine-tune skewed type on a path in Illustrator?

Hi all, I'm trying to get these four lines of type to be skewed in the same way, with matching vertical ascenders along a path. Is there a way to do this in illustrator and keep it editable text? Thanks in advance!

As far as I understand your request, this may all be done just with live type on a path, including some left-slanting and a bit of character rotation. Like this quick attempt:

 

 

The two-line section "PROTEIN PER SERVING" is Warichu.

You could try envelope distort, but the envelope would need to be carefully crafted.
