Who knew Chocolate Milk was soooooo good for you???


Not only is it absolutely delicious, but chocolate milk has been studied and proven to be an amazing post-workout replenisher!  An Indiana University study concluded that chocolate milk helps endurance athletes recover lost electrolytes, carbohydrates, water, and protein while adding extra calcium.  Although this study is very exciting for most chocolate lovers, it can deter the diet plan of many recreational fitness nuts that are not expending a significant amount of calories and carbohydrates during their workout sesh. Bottom line, if you work yourself silly during a gym session, reward your taste buds and body with some nutritious delicious low-fat chocolaty goodness, but if you go for a gallant casual jaunt around the neighborhood, perhaps it is best to settle for some Gatorade Zero, water or the newly discovered..... MIO!
This liquid water enhancer actually tastes really good and is sugar, gluten and calorie free! It comes in amazing flavors like Berry Pomegranate, Fruit Punch, Mango Peach, Peach Tea, Sweet Tea and Strawberry Watermelon.  I like the Fruit Punch :)  This product is fairly cheap, $3.99, and a few drops go a long ways!  Luckily for many, the sweetener is Sucralose, which does not tend to have the same side affects (think killer migraine) as Aspartame.
