It is not only good, it is good for you. I drink it after hard bicycle rides.

The researcher should have tried whole milk. Maybe if they would leave the fat in, kids would like it better.
After jogging in the desert, I come back and drink 12 oz of water. About 15-30 minutes later, 8-10 oz of whole milk. It works great. Water can follow after that is absorbed.
We don’t need added sugars in chocolate milk, but we can use the fat in milk.
I do too. I have a Trek for riding outside and a NordicTrack for riding inside on bad days and nothing revives me better after a hard ride than a glass of chocolate milk with Nestle Quick. It’s very good for you. I can’t stand the taste of white milk so if I get milk it has to be chocolate.
