Prep with Protein
Each 8 oz glass of lowfat milk contains 8 g of natural, high-quality protein to help you get more out of your workout, build lean muscle, maintain a healthy weight and more.
Stay Hydrated

Boost Energy & Endurance
Milk provides carbs for easy muscle fuel, and contains four B vitamins, which help convert food into energy and regulate metabolism.
Refuel with High-Quality Protein
Drink chocolate milk right after you exercise to help replenish muscle fuel, repair and rebuild muscles and restore nutrients lost in sweat.
Rebuild & Restore Muscles
