Healthful eating choices for athletes and others who want to keep their bodies in the top shape are more abundant now than ever before. Foods proven to support muscular and skeletal health come in a number of forms that make it easy for athletes to get the nutrients they need—intelligently, quickly, and tastily.
An excellent example is CytoSport’s Muscle Milk nutrition. No longer restricted to one product type, Muscle Milk, which is designed to support fat-burning, lean muscle growth, and speedy post-workout recovery, is now available in 27 flavors in many different forms such as Muscle Milk Light, Muscle Milk ‘n Oats, Muscle Milk shake, and Muscle Milk Ready-to-Drink (RTD).
Get Lean with Creatine
Back in 1912, scientists discovered that ingesting creatine dramatically increases the substance’s bioavailability to your body. Creatine helps grow lean muscle mass and hastens recovery from anaerobic exercise and strenuous workouts. Creatine-laden Muscle Milk—a complete protein supplement that fills athletes’ nutritional needs—also contains good lipids and long-chain polyunsaturated fats that rapidly convert to energy to provide the metabolism boost and protein synthesis necessary for the lean muscle support all athletes desire.
All Muscle Milk products contain the same peptides and amino acids vital for high-quality protein supplementation. Those who already buy Muscle Milk in 16-ounce or 2.48 pound canisters or in the 20-packet, 3.3-pound size know it’s one of the best tasting, most effective protein powders on the market—and chocolate lovers know that Muscle Milk Chocolate provides great chocolate flavor that’s free of both lactose and trans fats.
Lighten Up
The new Muscle Milk Light formula has one-third less fat and 44 percent fewer calories than the original formula, making it perfect for people who need to simultaneously sustain energy during workouts and manage weight. Muscle Milk Light comes in a 1.65-pound size in a wide range of flavors, including Cookies ‘n Crème, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Strawberry Banana, and Crème Brulee.
When you don’t have time to mix your protein drink, there’s Muscle Milk RTD, which comes in convenient 12 packs of 17-ounce bottles as well as 24 packs of 11-ounce bottles.
Muscle Milk ‘n Oats, available in a 12-pack of 2.7-ounce bowls, comes in maple and brown sugar, vanilla bean, apple cinnamon, blueberry, banana and walnut, and breakfast cocoa flavors.
How Sweet!
Dessert lovers will find Muscle Milk chocolate pudding the perfect way to satisfy a sweet tooth while getting powerful nutritional support. Tuck one from a 24-pack carton into your lunchbox or briefcase for a guilt-free mid-afternoon snack that will keep your energy level high and your blood sugar even until dinnertime. Chocoholics will especially appreciate the Chocolate Lover’s Delight Pack, which contains 18 Muscle Milk packets in Chocolate, Peanut Butter Chocolate, Chocolate Mint Chip, Chocolate Banana Crunch, Chocolate Caramel Pecan, and Rocky Road, as well as two cups of Muscle Milk ‘n Oats in Breakfast Cocoa flavor.
With all these types of products, no other protein supplement could be more convenient than Muscle Milk. As a bonus, the calories you take in while consuming Muscle Milk products are more likely to be burned for muscle energy and heat instead of stored in your body as fat.—Julie Crawshaw
