Chocolate milk comes in different forms. The milk needs to be low-fat and as little sugar as possible. Read on the container to determine if this is the healthiest chocolate milk available. Studies have shown that drinking chocolate milk after a workout is beneficial. After a workout, you need to replenish what you have lost in the workout. This milk will cause you to exercise longer and helps build the muscle back. You will have a better workout as well.

The reason for this is because chocolate milk contains protein and carbohydrates. Even though people believe that carbs are bad, after a workout the body needs these carbs back. Chocolate milk provides both of those things. However, it also provides sugar and low fat which is why you should be selective in purchasing the milk at the store.
