Chubba Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Interesting article what do you guys recon! http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/news/20060224/chocolate-milk-new-sports-drink
covie Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Yeah choclate milk is well known as a recovery drink. Read many articles about it, and just before the last hectic hill on my way home in the mornings is a garage, so i tend to stop there to buy my milky.
Tiny K Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Amen to that. I love my bar one and coke though. Does the same thing but choc milk does the trick nicely. Actually knew that long time ago so I don't know why they had to do a study on it.....guess someone wanted something to do with their time and get paid to do it. Sounds just like SA? Just a thought.
Willehond Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Very, VERY old news... Still, probably just as good as any commercially available overpriced mix on sale. Just like the best sportsdrink you can make is make is just as good as the fancy premixed stuff. Remember this thread? Asker Jeukendrup's home made go faster drink
Raceface Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 yeah...low fat milk works good as a recovery drink. I currently use Low Fat milk, Milo, bit of honey and then chuck in an extra egg for a bit more protein.
Chubba Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Old to some, new to others. Good to see something decent tasting works!
TNT1 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Hey, you get healthy sweets, wine gums are good for weight loss, powerbands really do work, so rubbing your legs with any flavour milk will aid recovery. Throw out those compression socks - they make you look like you are recovering from a thrombosis anyway - and stock up on the nesquick...
Chubba Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) The only reason I found this article is that I cramped badly on a ride yesterday. Has not happened for ages and I wanted something for recovery. (my legs are still sore) I recon the cramps are due to my new bike that has not been setup correctly. Edited January 16, 2011 by Chubba
pezulu Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Milo straight after a race is the way to go.We have been using it for quite some time, and it works as well if not better than those hideously expensive recovery drinks, and tastes better too.
CycleJunkie Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 The only reason I found this article is that I cramped badly on a ride yesterday. Has not happened for ages and I wanted something for recovery. (my legs are still sore) I recon the cramps are due to my new bike that has not been setup correctly.Never mind for recovery, while doing the Satellite Challenge a guy on a battered hardtail passes me and he has what looks like chocolate milk in his bottle.... We get chatting and he tells me he is training for the Freedom Challenge and that is what he uses exclusively in his bottle/s. Then he ups and rides away from me. Have not had the courage to use it myself yet
Danger Dassie Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Amen to that. I love my bar one and coke though. Does the same thing but choc milk does the trick nicely. Actually knew that long time ago so I don't know why they had to do a study on it.....guess someone wanted something to do with their time and get paid to do it. Sounds just like SA? Just a thought. Except that the study and article is from the US.
covie Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Super M rules! pffft CHOCLATE rainbow milk is da BOMB!
Danger Dassie Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Super M rules! Or Steri Stumpi, have an inner conflict when the two are side by side though.... Which normally results in me taking both.
Minion Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Amen to that. I love my bar one and coke though. Does the same thing but choc milk does the trick nicely.

Just a thought.Meh. People 'know' that their Power Balances work too. The difference in this case is that there is now actual research to back up the milk claims. That's why they had to do a study.
