🏋️‍♂️ Milk Recovery Game

Objective

Help athletes recover by filling a 32-ounce bottle with the correct amount of chocolate milk based on their body weight. You'll learn how much milk provides the right balance of carbs and protein for recovery!

Quick Summary of the Research

After intense exercise, drinking chocolate milk may help with recovery by providing both carbohydrates and protein. Research suggests athletes need about 0.8 g of carbohydrate and 0.4 g of protein per kg of body weight during the first hour after exercise. For many athletes, this is about 2 cups of low-fat chocolate milk followed by a carbohydrate and protein-rich meal.
