Did you know that a tall glass of white or chocolate milk contains 30% of your daily Calcium and 25% of your Vitamin D requirements. Pair that up with Phosphorus, Riboflavin, Protein, Vitamin B-12, Potassium, Vitamin A, Niacin and Vitamin C, you have a glass full of nutrients for the entire family. A glass of chocolate milk contains 135 calories. While a glass of white milk contains just 85 calories. Wisconsin Milk's nine essential nutrients can make your kids grow up healthy and strong - and you parents will benefit, too. Why not set a good example at the dinner table tonight and serve up a glass of milk with your family's meal.
Wisconsin chocolate milk is also a fantastic way to refuel after your workouts - with a perfect combination of protein and carbs to aid in muscle fiber recovery. The electrolytes will also help refuel what sweat you lost during that fantastic workout. Stock up on a couple of bottles of cold chocolate milk and keep them in the fridge for when you return home after your next long run. Why not stash a few bottles in a small cooler the next time you meet your running buddies for a training run. You can enjoy cold Wisconsin chocolate milk while you are doing your post-run stretching. Your friends will appreciate the miles you shared together and the benefits from refueling with chocolate milk.
