The power of Chocolate Milk

As I have started my journey to running 26.2 miles in just under 6 months, reading and research has been one of my late night past times. It does not take a rocket science to realize that I can not longer fuel my body for distance running with pizza, beer and nachos (but were not that time of my life so glorious!). One of the greatest nuggets of information I have found is that low fat/fat free chocolate milk is a great recovery beverage. The only catch, it is best after long workouts of at least 45 minutes. So, if needing a little extra motivation to go longer, imagine the reward of a nice tall glass of chocolate milk. http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/recipes/healthy-eating/superfoods/chocolate-milk-after-workout/

    So for workouts less than 45 minutes, will you be using wine as recovery beverage?

    I am slowly working on creating a healthy diet system that focuses on all of the pleasure foods in life, chocolate milk for recovery, red wine for a healthy heart. Now I just need to find medical evidence that a nice big steak on the grill is good for something.

    Shamrock Farm's Rockin' Refuel is the best with 20 grams of protein!! Worth a long fun for sure :-)

    Love the article! You have won me over. I just grabbed a nice sirloin which has a date with the grill in 15 minutes.
