SWeet mix!

I'm guessing the only real difference is that there's more sugar in chocolate milk, which could be emulated by increased carbs with regular milk. Also, I have yet to see fat free chocolate milk, and fat in your PWO drink will slow down the assimilation of the protein. I'm not sure I understand. Also, glutamine is an amino acid and as far as I know it does not exist in bananas. Even if it did, considering that a banana contains a negligible amount of protein, the amount of glutamine in them would be insufficient for any sort of boost. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan

I guess I wasn't thinking outside of my box. I understand now. What type of powder do you use. I mix my chocolate whey with regular milk all the time and I think it tastes just like mixing it with chocolate syrup. Is your chocolate milk fat free, though? The increase in absorption time still applies if it is not. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan
