Chocolate milk is an ideal post-workout beverage because every serving contains the nutrition needed to promote effective recovery after exercise. These nutrients include carbohydrates to refuel muscles, protein to reduce muscle breakdown and stimulate growth, and fluid and electrolytes to replenish what is lost in sweat and to rehydrate the body.

  • I always assumed this only applied to bodybuilders -- not cross country runners..

    Is chocolate milk still good for bodybuilders

  • @badpanda84 It is good for all athletes, including bodybuilders. It has a little something for everyone, including protein to help a bodybuilder's muscles recover after a long workout.

  • why not white milk? i compared 2% white milk to 2% chocolate .. EXACTLY the same nutrients.. why is chocolate milk better?

  • @jstafford81 It's true that they both contain the same nutrients and (roughly) 3-to-1 carbohydrate to protein ratio, and that white milk also works well as a recovery drink.

    However, because flavored milks (chocolate in this case) have a little more sugar than white milk, they help restore your glycogen levels a little better.

  • They should start giving my crew team chocolate milk then.

  • my cousin has a speech impediment. he calls it "Chocowdit miiwdk"

  • I can't believe this. I was just finishing my first P90X workout, when I was looking for some water in the fridge (thinking to myself, I'm tired as hell and I know water won't help me at all), where I saw a cup which had a quote on it: "Good things will happen." I looked at it and nodded. Then I wen't right yo YouTube, searching for recovery drinks, and now I find chocolate milk is the optimal recovery drink. This just gives me like a 150% motivation boost on my P90X process.

  • THAT'S YUMMY!

    YUM YUM YUM YUM!

  • Imagine drinking something so tasty as a recovery drink.Chocolate milk is the way forward

  • Chocolate milk is now being used as a recovery drink in military training.
