    Low-fat chocolate milk, used post-workout, can provide the little bit of sugars, good source of protein, and a small amount of fat can aid in post-workout recovery. Similar thought as a protein shake.

    carbs and protein after exercise...blah blah. Ideal ratio of blah blah.

    ...and other stuff that assumes people don't eat around exercise time...

    Well what I heard on another thread {search chocolate milk post workout} was that it helps with preventing DOMS. That's good enough for me. I need .25 reasons for being convinced to drink chocolate milk. Actually maybe .1, really.

    True. And then there's the fact that it's beer.

    If you need a better answer than "it's milk and chocolate combined, so how exactly can it be bad?" which is my carefully considered position, look here:

    I prefer to back up the bottle of Nesquik on my desk with SCIENCE thank you. Cause otherwise drinking chocolate milk after a run would be indulgent or something.

    If you could choose just one food to live on, milk is the perfect food balance of carbs, protein amino acids. You could survive on milk.

    I find milk contributes greatly to my daily protein intake. I am not a chocolate milk drinker, but if I am short on calories, I enjoy an iced coffee milk. I still haven't found a protein shake I enjoy yet.
