Is it better than something like gatorade for instance?Is it true that chocolate milk is just as good or better than a sports drink?
It depends on what you mean by ';better for you';. Sports drinks really are made for people who have been working out (or in some cases really sick). They are made to replace lost electrolytes. They are full of calories, sugars and sodium. However if you have been losing those things then sports drinks can be really good for you. If, on the other hand, you are just looking for a good nutritious tasty drink, chocolate milk would be better for you.Is it true that chocolate milk is just as good or better than a sports drink?
What type of workout are you doing?





For rehydration after a long cardio workout: regular nonfat milk.





For post-workout recovery (protein and carbs) after weightlifting: nonfat chocolate milk.
Fat-free milk isn't bad for you and has a nice amount of protein.





Milk with fat and chocolate milk are very calorie and fat dense, making them poor choices.





Stick with water and non-fat milk for beverages. Avoid sugar.
of course!


gatorade sustains liquids unless you exercise a lot!


and milk on the other hand is healthy, and better tasting.
