Abstract in brief

  • Chocolate milk is a popular and affordable postexercise recovery drink that contains a balanced carbohydrate to protein ratio similar to commercial recovery beverages, along with fluids and sodium to support recovery.
  • Consuming about 10-15 grams per kilogram of body weight per hour of chocolate milk immediately after exercise and again two hours later is considered optimal for aiding recovery and reducing muscle damage.
  • Further research is needed to determine the best amount, timing, and frequency of chocolate milk ingestion to enhance recovery outcomes, including muscle repair and glycogen replenishment.]
