A great snack: Chocolate Milk

A great snack:  Chocolate Milk
Ingredients:
8oz of Skim Milk
2 tsp of Ovaltine or other chocolate mix. (I like Ovaltine because it has vitamins and minerals)  [see below for juice plus option]
Instructions:
Place milk in a glass, add Ovaltine and enjoy!
Studies have shown that milk can be an excellent recovery drink.  It is an excellent source of high quality, highly absorbable protein, B vitamins and electrolytes.  So it is the perfect storm of nutrients for recovery.  Chocolate milk as opposed to plain milk adds a bit more sugar which after a hard workout can be very beneficial to replete glycogen stores. 
Here is an article on milk as a recovery drink.  Enjoy!
