You'll be happy to know that a study from Indiana University in Bloomington shows that chocolate milk helps athletes to recover faster from hard exercise than drinks that replaced only carbohydrates or fluid alone (International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, February 2006).

This study controlled the portion sizes, but other research has shown that athletes will drink most of the beverage that tastes best to them, so that may give chocolate milk its primary advantage. Milk is full of protein, but so are, fish, shellfish, meat, chicken, whole grains and beans, and so forth. Eat any source of protein that tastes good to you.
