BUILT w/ Chocolate Milk
Looking for great nutrition for your athletes? Whether you’re a coach, a sports dietitian or an athlete yourself, choose chocolate milk – the sports drink nature intended.
Chocolate Milk Proof
In a recent University of Texas study, high school athletes drinking chocolate milk bench-pressed a net total of 6.7% more and squat-lifted a net total of 7% more than those recovering with a leading sports drink.
How It Works
- Rehydrate. The 90% water content and natural electrolytes in chocolate milk replace what the body loses through sweat.
- Repair. 8 grams or more of high-quality protein in every 8-ounce glass is vital for building and repairing muscle after games and practices.
- Replenish. The carbs-to-protein ratio in chocolate milk is ideal for post-workout recovery.

Give Your Athletes the Chocolate Milk Edge to Fuel Recovery
Elevate your team's performance with the delicious recovery power of chocolate milk. Studies show impressive benefits for high school athletes who refuel with chocolate milk after intense training.
- Strength gains: Research shows your athletes can set new personal records with squat lifts increasing by 7% and bench presses by 6.7%.
- 13 essential nutrients: Support optimal growth, development and recovery with vitamin D, calcium and potassium— key nutrients most Americans lack.
- Defense wins championships: Fortify your players' immune defense with vitamin A, D, zinc, selenium and high-quality protein, ensuring they stay healthy on and off the field.
- Enhanced power and endurance: Offering an ideal carb-to-protein ratio (3:1), chocolate milk replenishes glycogen stores for sustained energy, increases protein synthesis for faster muscle repair and reduces perceived exertion, delaying fatigue.
- Hydration and electrolyte replenishment: Combat dehydration and restore vital minerals lost through sweat, such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium, keeping your athletes performing at their peak.
Choose chocolate milk – the naturally delicious, reimbursable and scientifically proven recovery drink to give your athletes the competitive edge they deserve.
“The most important ability is availability. That is tied directly to your health. In order for the body to build up, it has to have the right hormonal levels. It has to have the right nutritional levels. That really is what we started to see with the chocolate milk.”
