Recover with Chocolate Milk

Training doesn’t end after your workout is over!

Chocolate milk contains carbs to refuel and protein to recover, along with electrolytes to help rehydrate making it a great choice

Fueling for Sport

Nutrition plays a big role in training and competition, but all the information out there can be confusing. Good news – it doesn’t have to be! Focus on carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits and vegetables to fuel your muscles and performance. Protein found in meat, dairy, beans and legumes help build and repair muscles. Dietary fat helps with absorption of some vitamins and helps with the feeling of fullness. Variety is key; more colors = more nutrition. Check out Macros to MyPlate to help visualize the best plate for your training!
