The Perfect Recovery Drink

You may not know it, but chocolate milk is the perfect recovery drink after a muscle intensive workout.  It contains the ideal 3:1 ratio of carbs to protein.  It contains whey protein, which is quickly absorbed and digested to provide essential amino acids to damaged muscle, and casein protein, which is more slowly absorbed and digested, and counteracts post-workout muscle breakdown.  Chocolate milk is cheaper than most recovery drinks and, in my opinion and my 2 and 3 year old boys' opinion, tastes great!
