Has anyone tried low fat chocolate milk after their run? Seems to be a buzz about this at the moment? Apparently very beneficial, perfect post workout drink. Not keen on milk, but if it's got chocolate in it!!

I have a chocolate milk after running club / park run...but mine is skimmed milk...couldn't do full fat or semi. Love it!

I am allergic to milk so I have soya and chocolate shake, it works for me after my run. give it a try if your not keen on milk.

Oh hang on, re read article after a long distance/tough workout! Well, best get crackin' then onto bridge210k!! Thanks for answers though, make a change from water and a banana.

Yup ... I've found one of the Mars/Galaxy-style drinks to be the almost perfect post-run drink. Just started drinking beetroot juice after a run and that works very well for me too (sometimes mixed with a bit of apple juice).

I do drink it occasional but only after runs 10K or longer. I just make my own using cocoa powder and skimmed milk. I also add a tiny bit of salt, it makes it taste better and good for replenishing those electrolytes (or that's my theory anyway).

Why are we drinking chocolate milk? Other than the obvious chocoholics anonymous I mean

Well tried it and it was a nice change from water and a banana, only had a tumbler full though as being careful, after all it is still chocolate!

Carrot juice is a good energy boost but not half so much fun as chocolate milk!
