Grabbing a drink after a workout to rehydrate and refuel is a no brainer! But what should you choose?
Professional and college athletes choose chocolate milk, because they know the power it has as a refuel and recovery beverage. Research consistently shows that consuming chocolate milk after exercise or sports performance is a great way to replenish the important nutrients our bodies needs for recovery, including:
| Carbohydrates | Primary source of energy for athletes, helps restore glycogen in muscles after exercise. |
| Protein | High-quality protein after a workout helps support the rebuild and repair process of muscles. |
| Electrolytes, Vitamins & Minerals | Chocolate milk helps replenish the two main electrolytes lost in sweat, sodium and potassium. As well as chloride, magnesium, and calcium. |
| Fluids | Fluid replacement after exercise is critical for proper recovery, the water that chocolate milk provides is vital to refueling. |
Carbohydrates, protein, electrolytes, and water – each one of these nutrients plays an important role in recovery. Chocolate milk has all of them.
