The best chocolate milk you can find in a bottle

The Fancy Food Show is starting to become a distant memory, as the demands of regular old work and life push their back into the forefront of my mind. However, there are a few products that continue to stick with me and continue to marvel me with their absolute deliciousness.

One such product is Cocio. It doesn't look like much, in fact it's nothing more than chocolate milk in a bottle. However, it is the best chocolate milk I've ever tasted. It is sweet, but not cloying, thick without being sludgy and every so chocolate-y. It is a Danish product that has been around since 1951 and in that country, is often consumed as street food, in conjunction with sausages (at least according to Wikipedia). It is also all natural, made of nothing more than chocolate, sugar (no high fructose corn syrup here) and milk. If you think of yourself as a chocolate milk connoisseur, this is a product to seek out.

Gatorade responds to chocolate milk study

Some of you may recall the posts that Nicole and I did about a recently released study comparing the restorative effects of chocolate milk, Gatorade and another sports drink. Interpretations of the Indiana University study have since been challenged by Gatorade and embraced by The Milk Processors Education Program (MilkPep) a dairy industry information group. According to DairyReporter.com, Gatorade has released a statement attempting to clarify the results of the study. Gatorade claims that many media outlets have misconstrued the study's results and insists that their product fared just as well as chocolate milk in physical endurance trials. The sports drink maker claims that many quotes from the study have been taken out of context. According to the articles that I've read concerning the study, Gatorade and chocolate milk just about broke even.

Chocolate milk for your health

A study in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism revealed that chocolate milk is at least as good as popular sports drinks for helping the body recover after exercise. As Nick pointed out, athletes who drank the chocolate milk and the Gatorade performed equally well when asked to exercise again. Athletes who drank Endurox R4, a sports drink with protein added in the same ratio as milk, only performed half as well, indicating that perhaps some property of milk - say, the chocolate - might be helping the performance of the athletes as well.

Could it be the antioxidants in the chocolate that are helping? An 8-ounce glass of low-fat chocolate milk will have about 200 calories and 3 grams of fat, while an 8-ounce glass of Gatorade has only 55 calories. Though some people worry about the seemingly high number of calories in the milk, the extra calories are not only healthy, but can provide extra energy to athletes in the long run.
