Obviously drinking chocolate milk after exercising is good because of its protein content. Every cup of chocolate milk contains between 7 and 12 grams of protein. Ideally you will want to consume between 14g and 28g of protein within 30 minutes after workout, which comes out to about 750ml of chocolate milk.

Chocolate Milk or Strawberry Milk gives the body calcium, vitamin D, sodium and sugar, which help you retain water and regain energy. Milk also contains key nutrients that sports drinks cannot match.

Generally for exercise under an hour, water is all that is needed.

Before you make the switch to chocolate milk or Strawberry Milk, examine your workout routine  consult with a sports nutritionist. Chocolate milk is most helpful for athletes who need high levels of calories, carbohydrates and proteins to maintain their level of activity.
