I've read the studies that showed cheap chocolate milk to work better as a recovery drink than the expensive commercial recovery or energy drinks.
Which is nice given how expensive and hassle a lot of the commercial things are, but I don't like chocolate milk as much I like just plain milk. Or even strawberry milk.
Does anyone know if any further research has been done on this, and whether the chocolateness of the chocolate milk is important for some reason, or whether plain or strawberry milks work fine too? I've had a look on pubmed and not found anything obvious yet.
I'm guessing the people who originally started using chocolate milk just used it because they like it, or because you don't have to keep it as cold as normal milk, but I don't know if there is any other reason to favour that flavour?
