8th Continent Light Chocolate Soy Milk is a lower calorie (90 for 8oz) option and tastes great! A serving has 6g of protein; perhaps not enough for some of you out there. But, you could always add protein powder to it; perhaps a lower cost and healthier option than some of the prepared protein shakes on the market.
I pour some in an aluminum water bottle and stick in the freezer while I get dressed and gather my gear for the pool. I then place the bottle in a frozen wine bottle chill sleeve that is designed to keep wine bottles cold. It keeps the soy milk nice and slushy for after my swim. By the time I finish my workout and stretch, I am SO ready for it! :drool:
Why lite stuff post workout? Calories post workout good... save the light stuff for the rest of the day :-)
Chocolate milk, chocolate soymilk, or yogurt for me post-workout. All have the 4:1 CHO:PRO ratio and are cheaper than fancy recovery drinks.
