Chocolate Milk

[format]

Recently have been really enjoying the effects of drinking chocolate milk after a ride. Seems to really help with sore & stiff legs.

Anyone else enjoy chocolate milk, or do people prefer protein shakes or what have you?

Milk in general is known to be a good muscle food !
"Fast protein" its broken down quickly (amino acids) in the the blood stream
I just drink milk ... less sugar than the pre made shakes

+1 for chocolate milk! It definitely seems to work and doesn't need refrigeration, which can be an advantage if you are away from home.

It's a well known and proven post ride recovery drink.

I love milk me it's THE thing that's sorts me out after a decent ride.
I vaguely remember a recent thread on the topic of milk....

It's what Ian Rush drinks.

It's what Ian Rush drinks.

Only when he was being paid to ....
Think he prefers beer ..

Can't stand milk. It's slimy and it makes me gag just thinking about it. I think this is the long-term effect of being forced to drink it everyday at school when I was young.

Chocolate milk works for me. Helps stop the incredibly fast freeze-down that I normally suffer from.

Try skimmed milk. I would struggle with full-fat milk now after years drinking skimmed.

I used to drink milk be the gallon when I was younger but only have it on breakfast cereal now. I could never drink a glass of milk any more - just don't like it and find it makes me bloated. Cow's milk is very good for calves but not necessarily so for human!

My calves are quite well defined, wonder if that's from drinking milk then

Jahangir Khan used to drink 2 pints of milk every day. (For our younger readers, he was quite good at squash.)

So do I, didn't it end up with about eight pages of arguments and insults when people disagreed on the subject?

Before and after rides for me, love it.
