Post-Workout Nutrition Tip: Chocolate Milk
-
I know it can be difficult to find a quick and cheap post-workout nutrition drink that will give you the adequate amount of nutrients that are needed after a great workout.I’ve found chocolate milk to be a great source of nutrients after you work out and it’s also pretty darn inexpensive form of getting those nutrients as compared to buying some expensive protein shakes.
Chocolate milk has the perfect carb to protein ratios to ensure your body has the nutrients it needs after a hardcore workout. Be sure to drink it within 15 minutes after completing your workout.
But this isn’t a free ticket to drink chocolate milk ALL the time, only for post-workout nutrition only and try to stay away from the giant bottles of it.

Can we only drink the kind of chocolate milk that you have which is from whole foods? Is it bad to use Nesquik or plain powdered chocolate milk?

Hi Shane,
I would stay away from Nesquik because it has a lot of other bad stuff in it that won’t be good for you.
You’ll want to take it in the chocolate milk in the rawest form possible, so I wouldn’t recommend the powdered version, it doesn’t HAVE to be from Whole Foods but it should be ready to drink.

What is your take on chocolate soy milk? They make a light version as well…

I’m not the biggest fan of soy products. Just stick with good old fashion cow milk. RAW is preferred.
