Instead of chocolate milk, I just add chocolate whey protein mix to milk. No blender necessary - you can shake it up in some tupperware or anything that seals tightly (since I like to occasionally make cocktails, I use a Boston shaker).
edited to add: most protein mixes recommend way too much; you can safely cut it in half or a third.

Milk and I don't get along. So I stick with a almond beverage (basically the same as milk carbs and protein) and some extra carbs through fruit. Been using this recovery accelerator from Vega Sports the last week and have felt pretty good.
Just read this last night though. The section on additional protein is interesting. May go back to just having a nice cold coke.

You drink warm beer when you run out at home and the closest store doesn't sell it cold

Ha, ya'll joke, but do you know that virtually all of the bananas we consume are not naturally occurring, are genetically identical and will likely be gone in our lifetimes? True story.

Glass of chocolate milk, a banana, jar of peanut butter, and a spoon. It's easier than cleaning PB out of the blender.

Very true. Banana disease morphs quicker than man can develop resistant banana strains. Bananas are doomed.

We've been on one variety of banana since the 60's, when the previous variety was all but decimated. It's not clear if another acceptable alternative is waiting in the wings (current bananas aren't as tasty as the previous cultivar and there may only get worse).

Alright this chocolate milk stuff is new to me,so I went out and got a bottle of hershey's chocolate syrup to try it out.
For some reason this doesn't sound right with all the corn syrup in it,corn syrup is the first ingredient listed on the label.
So what kind of chocolate milk mix do you use?

Half a sandwich (almond butter and honey), a handful of dried fruit (apricots, preferably) and a glass of whole milk.

Looks like a good starting point:

Probably not much better and why does it need artificial red, yellow and blue?
I also find it interesting that they don't list the ingredients on their website. What are they hiding?
