I don’t drink milk any more. I doubt I would like chocolate soy. But I used to sooo enjoy mixing that powdered Nestles Quik. ---

[/QUOTE] [Announcing the new sport drink: Chocolate Milk!](http://www.thefinalsprint.com/2006/06/announcing-the-new-sport-drink-chocolate-milk/) > [@](#): > > Sport nutritionists suggest to fuel your body with carbohydrates when you are an endurance athlete to help replenish muscle glycogen. Most atheltes turn to sport drinks like Gatorade. Yet, what you might not know is that chocolate milk has similar carbohydrate content to many of the leading sport drinks. In fact, in a study done at Indiana University in Bloomington, researchers found that when cyclists refueled with lowfat chocolate milk after pedaling to exhaustion, they biked longer and harder four hours later compared to the athletes who drank a sport drink, concluding that chocolate milk is an effective recovery aid following an exhausting exercise. ---

As a kid, I would drink nothing but chocolate milk (and I mean that pretty literally. No soda, ever). Now I don’t think I’ve had it for about 10 years. As a kid I was happy, as an adult - well I’m not unhappy, but I have to admit a bit of the thrill is gone. Now I see what I’ve been lacking. ---

I still like chocolate milk. Low fat 1%. I don’t have it often but I enjoy it when I do. I (mostly) gave up soda months ago so lately my alternatives have been 0-cal iced tea, the occasional chocolate milk, and metric shitloads of bottled water (either individual bottles or from a cooler at home). I haven’t really noticed a massive difference in calorie intake, but amazingly, I’ve found I have a little more energy and I don’t get as tired during the day, which is sort of counter-intuitive, but there it is. ---

I’m 39. I love chocolate milk. There. I said it. But you know what is really good too? _Strawberry_ milk! Oooh, and sometimes they even sell banana milk around here! ---

Dean’s chocolate milk is the stuff. The regular kind is super duper fattening, but oh so delicious. It’s hard to find so when I do find it, I get some. Sooo good. ---

[QUOTE=parrot recipes] I don’t drink milk any more. I doubt I would like chocolate soy. But I used to sooo enjoy mixing that powdered Nestles Quik. [/QUOTE] Actually chocolate soy is really really good. It doesn’t taste like real milk but instead a “chocolate drink” along the lines of Yoo-Hoo (though it doesn’t taste like Yoo-Hoo either). Give it a try. I like the Sun Soy brand myself. ---

[QUOTE=Mindfield] I still like chocolate milk. Low fat 1%. I don’t have it often but I enjoy it when I do. [/QUOTE] It is regrettable, but afaik, only lowfat chocolate milk is widely available at convenience outlets. I use Hershey’s syrup in whole milk for that pure, unadulterated arterio-sclerotic delight. ---

[QUOTE=CMiller] [Announcing the new sport drink: Chocolate Milk!](http://www.thefinalsprint.com/2006/06/announcing-the-new-sport-drink-chocolate-milk/) [/QUOTE] Exactly! I don’t generally do the whole “refuleing” thing in any sort of organized way but lat weekend, after running 12 miles, I figured I deserved a little chocolate milk. I don’t even really like milk, but it was pretty awesome. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-love-chocolate-milk/372646.md?page=2)
