Chocolate milk post workout.

Chocolate milk is a great way to recover after weight training and power exercise. It helps the muscles recover where weight training wears out the muscles. Carbohydrates are the most important calorie intake when strength training in order to build muscle. Low-fat milk provides a balanced ratio of protein to carbohydrates making chocolate milk a beneficial recovery aid. Carbohydrates are also the predominate source of energy for the body allowing it to metabolize and heal quicker. Carbohydrates turn to glycogen in the muscles allowing for bursts of energy to occur while weight training and the longer the work out, the more glycogen is required.
