    its not a bad thing

    to repair muscles after a workout or actually to fuel them having some chocolate milk is OK

    I use regular milk with chocolate protein powder to get more protein and less sugar

    I believe protein is the key to repair..so it makes sense..I drink Silk Chocolate Soy Lite..but just because I like it not so much for repair lol....I need a chocolate fix every now and again as well:drinker:

    I drink Silk soy milk. It tastes pretty good! Enjoy in moderation!

    you guys who drink soy milk

    please know that it is not a good source of protein for muscle repair or muscle fuel

    imo

    soy is way over rated

    lots of debate on it...but dont rely on soy for your protein source

    A guy I used to date turned me onto Silk. Whether it's a good source of protein or not, Chocolate Silk is still tasty!

    I LOVE chocolate milk and drink one glass a day... Not only for the benefits of milk, like protein (I drink 1% by the way), but also, to give my chocolate fix (I'm a chocoholic). I save enough calories for it, so why not? Everything in moderation. :wink:
