So, whether you’re playing soccer, football, running, swimming – whatever your favorite activity – follow up your intense workout with a delicious Rockin’ Refuel! Your muscles, and taste buds, will thank you.
The Science Behind the Beverage
Studies have shown that low-fat and fat-free chocolate milks are emerging to be an equivalent or better choice than sports drinks and soy protein beverages for re-hydrating the body after endurance exercise and for helping to repair and rebuild muscles after resistance exercise.
Why? Much of the success seen in post endurance and post resistance exercise recovery may be due to milk’s unique nutrient profile including its electrolyte content, macronutrient content (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) and energy density.
"Chocolate milk contains an optimal carbohydrate to protein ratio, which is critical for helping refuel tired muscles after strenuous exercise and can enable athletes to exercise at a high intensity during subsequent workouts."

This emerging research supports that drinking milk can be an effective way to help the body refuel and recover after exercise.
