Fun facts about National Chocolate Milk Day!

  • The extra sugars found in chocolate milk can rebuild glycogen stores that are depleted during exercise, so it’s an effective post-workout recovery drink.
  • The essential ingredient of chocolate milk (chocolate in a powdered form) is typically called “cocoa,” while “cacao” usually refers to the plant or its beans before processing.
  • Drinking chocolate originated in South America, but Europeans found it too bitter, so they brought it home and sweetened it.

How to celebrate National Chocolate Milk Day:

Whether it’s a cool jug from the store or a powder mixed in milk, enjoy a glass of chocolate milk. If you decide to make your own with cocoa powder and sweetener, consider adding cinnamon or a pinch of salt. Genius!
