Recently science has provided endurance athletes with a new option in recovery drinks. Chocolate Milk, the elixir of our youth turns out to be just as potent as the high priced terrible tasting commercial recovery drinks.
Don't believe me, well here is one of many articles on the web, hey the web wouldn't lie.
Many of my long training days happen early in the season when the temperatures are fairly cold, and I want my recovery drink to not only replenish my glycogen, but also warm my soul. This is the ticket. If you don't have an espresso machine, then I highly recommend purchasing one, if you are regular coffee shop patron, just look at what you are paying and do the math.
1 cup skim milk
1 scoop whey protein (optional)
2 shots espresso
1 tbl milk chocolate (miniature kisses)
Add chocolate and whey protein to milk. Steam mixture, the chocolate will melt during this process. Make espresso and pour both espresso and steamed milk/chocolate/protein into your cup.
