Replenish With Chocolate Milk

2024-2025 Application

Research shows that drinking milk is an effective way to help the body refuel and recover after exercise. And chocolate milk is the ideal post-workout beverage because it contains the appropriate ratio of carbohydrate to protein to refuel, rebuild and recover. The Replenish with Chocolate Milk Program is designed to help promote this fact for the benefit of high school athletes across Idaho and Utah.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

Athletic directors from any public, charter, or private high-school in Utah and Idaho who advocate for chocolate milk as the recovery beverage for their student athletes. An athletic director may enroll more than one high school in the program; however, only one grant will be awarded to each school.

WHY SHOULD I ENROLL?

Teen beverage choices are very important. Healthy refueling can help improve performance and endurance, as well as prevent dehydration, fatigue, and injury.
