Chocolate Milk as a Recovery Drink???

We have all seen the cool Gatorade commercials -- we know we need to rehydrate with carbs and electrolytes after we exercise (especially when the heat index is at 90+).  But what about chocolate milk?

Studies in the last couple years, have indicated that chocolate milk is as good or better as a recovery drink (post-exercise) even than the sports drinks with protein added.

The cool thing is that it is less expensive ----  and rich in calcium and Vitamin D, too.
