Chocolate milk is the new Gatorade. Sports nutrionists are now saying chocolate milk provides many benefits for endurance athletes. The proteins and carbohydrates found in chocolate milk help athletes maintain their energy levels and recover after events. In fact, a 2006 study in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exerciese Metabolism reported that cyclists who were given chocolate milk 30 minutes after a workout recovered more quickly than those who were given a sports drink.
Endurance athletes should drink two or three 8 ounces glasses of chocolate milk after a workout or a race, but everyone can benefit from its bone strengthening and muscle rebuilding properties. I’m off to fill my water bottle with chocolate milk.
Everybody will love to drink it, specially kids.
