A great snack: Chocolate Milk


Ingredients:
8oz of Skim Milk
2 tsp of Ovaltine or other chocolate mix. (I like Ovaltine because it has vitamins and minerals)
Instructions:
Place milk in a glass, add Ovaltine and enjoy!
Studies have shown that milk can be an excellent recovery drink. It is an excellent source of high quality, highly absorbable protein, B vitamins and electrolytes. So it is the perfect storm of nutrients for recovery. Chocolate milk as opposed to plain milk adds a bit more sugar which after a hard workout can be very beneficial to replete glycogen stores.
Here is an article on chocolate milk as a recovery drink. Enjoy!
