CHOCOLATE MILK AS A POST-EXERCISE RECOVERY AID
male, endurance-trained cyclists performed an interval workout
followed by hours of recovery, and a subsequent endurance trial
to exhaustion at on three separate days. Immediately following
the first exercise bout and hours of recovery, subjects drank isovolumic
amounts of chocolate milk, fluid replacement drink (FR), or carbohydrate
replacement drink (CR), in a single-blind, randomized design. Carbohydrate
content was equivalent for chocolate milk and CR. Time to exhaustion (TTE),
average heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and total work
(WT) for the endurance exercise were compared between trials. TTE and WT
were significantly greater for chocolate milk and FR trials compared to CR
trial. The results of this study suggest that chocolate milk is an effective
recovery aid between two exhausting exercise bouts.

Drinking plain water after exercise replaces sweat losses and that's it. "Chocolate milk provides carbohydrate replenishment to your muscles - something they can metabolize," said Jason Karp, MS, another researcher for this study. "There's nothing to metabolize in water."
Note: To make this vegan, use your favorite non-dairy milk alternative, add 1 tsp of coconut oil, and decrease the cocoa powder to 4 tsp.
