Chocolate milk is being rediscovered, after perhaps being sat back on the shelf,  with just fond memories, of that rich, thick chocolate drink, once stirred up from the can sitting up in the cupboard or from the local supermarket.

It has had its Glory Years, one might say. Then  came the NEW age of sugar craze drinks, diet drinks,  sports drinks, but now we have come full circle again, HEALTHY DRINKS!

Now CHOCOLATE MILK  has been taunted by the rumors, that tainted milk has been used, and other such nonsense, that non resable milk was being used. The Food and Drug administration would love to hear about that one. Since they set stringent rules to provide the safety of the foods we eat and drink. So if the milk does not meet their criteria, it not sold.

Now according to Keith Ayoob EdD.,registered dietition and Associate of Pediatrics at the Albert Einstien College of Medicine, “Milk is a Sports drink,Plus”.  He goes on to further say to WebMd. ” It will supply you with things you need wether or not you’re working out”.

Studies have shown, that your intense exercise, reduces the muscle’s supply of glucose, glycogen, a important source of fuel for any exercise. This needing to be replenished by taking in a serving of carbohydrates approximately 30 minutes after the long workout.

SO Now… Chocolate milk  is being rediscovered as the next Sports Drink!

The additional benefits, drinking more  chocolate milk,  provides the much needed Calcium, Potassium, and Vitamin D.

This drink should be a no brainer for teenagers and adults who are looking for a healthier choice.
