1. It Can Boost Your Workout
Skip the expensive sports drinks and protein shakes. Research shows chocolate milk is just as effective a recovery aid.

A study published in the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism compared the effects of a recovery drink and chocolate milk on endurance athletes' ability to recover after a series of bike sprints followed by an endurance ride the next day. They found that chocolate milk was just as effective at relieving muscle soreness after the sprints, and preparing the athletes to perform in the endurance test the next day. Better yet, everyone preferred the taste of chocolate milk.

    Perhaps, but humans are meant to drink human milk not cow's milk. We can barely "take in" casein and much of it does not digest and lies in a white milky sludge in our bowels. Also, the protein content is not as high as the whey powder per volume(for instance). Though maybe better for endurance, not for weight lifting and MUSCLE GAIN.

    Agreed!!! Protein is just the middle man so to speak. Amino acids is where it's at. Cheers!
