“Be Strong” Inside and Out and Refuel with Chocolate Milk

R-E-Charge with Chocolate Milk
It’s crucial for athletes to refuel and rebuild after a strenuous workout – especially within two hours after exercise. Replenishing and rehydrating the body after a tough workout with fluids, electrolytes and the right mix of carbs and protein is key to helping it recover -- especially when another practice or competition is less than a day away.

Give me an “A” for Active!
Being active, making good food choices and drinking lowfat or fat free milk can help you look lean and strong on the outside and feel confident and strong on the inside.

Cheer for Protein
Not all protein is created equal. Look for sources of high quality protein, like lowfat or fat free regular or chocolate milk. Along with exercise, protein builds muscle to help you stay toned and fit on and off the field.

Kick Commercial Sports Recovery Drinks to the Curb
Lowfat chocolate milk naturally has many of the nutrients most commercial recovery drinks have to add in the lab – including high-quality protein and key electrolytes like calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium. And, it’s a great-tasting, affordable alternative to expensive protein powders and recovery drinks–it’s likely already in your family’s refrigerator at home.

Recover N-A-T-U-R-A-L-L-Y
Lowfat chocolate milk is Nature’s Recovery Drink. It’s been scientifically shown to refuel and rebuild muscles to help athletes recover after strenuous exercise. It has what it takes to help you rehydrate, replenish and rebuild after a hard workout.
