Rockin' Refuel: The Latest Discovery in Muscle Recovery

"I like Rockin’ Refuel as a recovery product due to some of the following reasons: made with natural milk; 2:1 carb:protein ratio is proven to be beneficial after hard workouts, especially weight lifting; natural occurring electrolytes; and the great taste."  

--Lindsay Langford, Sports Dietitian, St. Vincent Sports Performance, Indianapolis, IN

 

"Our athletes enjoy using Shamrock Farms products – like their chocolate milk and Rockin’ Refuel protein fortified milk. They enjoy the great taste of a real milk product and the benefits of protein, calcium and vitamin D. The shelf life and attractive packaging makes these products extremely desirable."   

--Mike Gentry, Assistant Athletic Director for Athletic Performance, Virginia Tech

"No matter what sport you play, muscles can take a beating during workouts and you need high-quality protein to replenish them afterwards. That's why I give my athletes Rockin’ Refuel - not only does it have 20 grams of protein, its 100 percent real milk and provides nine essential nutrients like calcium and vitamins A and D." 

--Richard Shaughnessy, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, Troy University

 

Why You Should Refuel With Chocolate Milk

Low-fat chocolate milk is the original protein drink. In addition to getting the right combination of carbs and protein, research suggests low-fat chocolate milk is a naturally nutrient-rich proteindrink that helps you refuel and rehydrate within the critical two-hour recovery window after exercise.

Endurance:

Chocolate milk may be just as effective as certain commercial sport drinks in helping athletes refuel muscles after a workout. In fact, an Indiana University study found that endurance-trained cyclists who drank low-fat chocolate milk after an intense period of cycling were able to workout longer and have more power during a second workout compared to when the same athletes drank a commercially available carbohydrate replacement drink.

Rehydrating:

Drinking low-fat chocolate milk after exercise not onlyprovides the carbohydrates and protein needed to refuel and repair muscles, it also helps replenish fluids and electrolytes (such as calcium, magnesium and potassium) that are lost in sweat. In fact, milk is 90 percent water. Research suggests milk may be especially effective as a post-exercise rehydration drink due to its unique mix of nutrients.

Building Muscle:

Milk contains high-quality protein and essential amino acids that may be particularly beneficial in building and maintaining muscle mass when combined with exercise. Several recent studies suggest low-fat milk after exercise can help increase lean muscle. 

Maintaining BMI:

A new study released in the Journal of the American DieteticAssociation found that children who drink flavored or plain milk consume more nutrients and have a lower or comparable body mass index (BMI – a measure of body fatness) than children who don’t drink milk.
