Chocolate Milk-the Perfect Recovery Drink
Sponsored by Idaho Dairy Council
Made possible through funding from Idaho’s dairy farm families
What is it?
The Idaho Dairy Council is pleased to sponsor the “Refuel with Chocolate Milk” funding
opportunity. Emerging research supports that drinking milk can be an effective way to help the
body refuel and recover after exercise. Milk is an ideal beverage to drink after a workout
because every serving contains the appropriate ratio of carbohydrate to protein to promote
effective recovery and electrolyte replenishment.
Why should I apply?
Foods and beverages that teens, athletes in particular, choose to consume are very important.
Healthy refueling can help improve performance and endurance, as well as prevent
dehydration, fatigue, and injury. Chocolate milk is a nutrient-rich after-sports beverage that’s
convenient, cost-effective, and a delicious way to help your athletes perform their best.
Who is eligible?
Any public, charter, or private high school or junior high/middle school coach or athletic director
in Idaho; who advocates for chocolate milk as a nutrient-rich beverage for their student athletes.
What are the Requirements?
• The coach or athletic director must provide data for milk ordered at the end of the
season.
• Must provide testimonial via Facebook, Twitter, and/or blog.
• PSA acknowledging chocolate milk is provided to athletes by Idaho’s dairy farm families.
When do I apply?
Applications must be submitted via email, fax, or mailed by the start
of each Fall, Winter, and Spring sport seasons:
