What is it?
Midwest Dairy Council’s Win-Win! Refuel with Chocolate Milk Grant program awarded competitive grants to 18 varsity high school athletic teams that applied in an effort to increase access to chocolate milk on a long term basis and to promote it as a beverage for refueling student athletes in the 2010-2011 school year! If you applied for the grant, thank you for your submission.
Foods and beverages that teens, athletes in particular, choose to consume are very important. Fueling their bodies with nutritious foods can help improve performance and endurance, as well as prevent dehydration, fatigue, and injury. Chocolate milk is almost twice as effective as commercial sports drinks for refueling tired muscles. Chocolate milk is a nutrient-rich after-sports beverage that is convenient, cost-effective – not to mention – delicious way to help your athletes perform their best. It’s definitely a “Win-Win!”

Whether your school received a grant or not, we have tons of tips, suggestions, tools, and resources to help you make refueling with chocolate milk a success at your school, all available right here online. Additional information on grant implementation will be posted throughout the school year so keep checking back!
