Spending too much money on post-workout drinks?

Chocolate milk could be the answer to a cheaper supplement. Recovery is the most important component of training. After you workout it is vital that you get what your body needs. A new study, published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, reports that athletes who drank chocolate milk after an intense bout of exercise were able to workout longer and with more power during a second workout compared to athletes who drank commercial sports beverages. Milk protein is an important ingredient in recovery. Post work out drinks are designed to give you the carbs and the protein you need for optimal recovery. Chocolate milk for more calories could be an ideal post workout shake.
