Coach's Guide to Nutrition: Celebrate Chocolate Milk Day on Sept. 27
September 22, 2026
National Chocolate Milk Day, celebrated on September 27, is a great opportunity to highlight a favorite drink that can also play a role in an athlete’s recovery routine.
For high school athletes, chocolate milk can be a convenient choice after a hard practice, workout or game.
It provides carbohydrates to help replace energy, protein to help repair and rebuild muscle, and fluids and electrolytes to support rehydration.
The first 30-45 minutes after exercise is an important time to begin refueling, and chocolate milk provides key nutrients athletes need to help their bodies recover and prepare for what’s next.
This National Chocolate Milk Day, raise a glass and refuel, rebuild and rehydrate for what’s next.
