The imagination is an unexplainable phenomenon, especially as a child. An adolescent mind flourishes and conjures up so many crazy conspiracies. I remember as a child living smack dab in the center of what everybody knows as the dairy capital of the United States: Wisconsin.

When reaching my goals and staying active in my sport I drain a good amount of energy and calories that an energy boosting workout drink could restore. The thought of completing an exhausting practice and relying on chocolate milk to regenerate my energy is exciting. Many people much like myself love the taste of chocolate milk on their palette and would be thrilled to promote it as a workout necessity. If you think about the fake products and sugars put into gatorade, nobody would knowingly volunteer to put that into their body. Chocolate milk is a natural made product with milk from cows and beans from a cocoa plant. The benefits of chocolate milk are endless; it improves performance, boosts muscle growth and rehydrates your body, not to mention it tastes delicious. As a whole, the scrumptious chocolatey drink formerly thought to be unhealthy and childish can actually benefit your health and increase the effectiveness of your
