I want every athlete reading this to drink chocolate milk after your next workout...for two reasons.
Reason number one: the 3:1 carb to protein ratio.
Every 3 g of carbohydrates chocolate milk has 1 g of protein (roughly).
This is the ideal ratio your body needs to recover and get the nutrients.
The carbs are going to refill your muscle "energy tanks" so that you can hit it hard tomorrow.
The protein is going to help your muscles recover and grow.
Reason number two: 99% of athletes are not eating enough food.
Chocolate milk has a lot of calories.
So, it is a very easy way to add calories so your body has what it needs to thrive instead of survive.
