When my son was was old enough to start drinking milk we wanted him to drink the best. And since it was unrealistic for us to get a cow to get milk ourselves, we did what we felt was the next best thing. We got him Horizon Organic Whole Milk (sometimes 2%) with DHA.
When I got this chance to review the new Horizon Organic Chocolate Milk with DHA Omega-3 I was ecstatic! I decided that I also wanted to try it with my wife, mom, and 2 sisters. Kind of have a little chocolate milk party! I have to say that this really is some great chocolate milk! The first thing that everyone said was how creamy and smooth it is, it was really chocolaty but not too much. It makes me think of when I mix my own chocolate in milk and the package says to add 3 scoops and I do 3 1/2 - 4 scoops instead in hopes that I don't push it too far.... well the flavor is like they added that extra scoop and it is just right!
My mom I think had the most to say about the Horizon Organic Chocolate Milk with DHA Omega-3. What was funny was the first thing she asked me was "Did you add anything to it?" I let her know that I didn't do anything but pour the chocolate milk. She always likes to get chocolate milk with bananas and when I asked her if she liked it and she said that she is definitely going to start buying Horizon, that it would go perfectly with bananas because "It has REALLY good flavor!"

Flavored Milk is a Nutrient-Rich Beverage
- Flavored milk provides the same nine essential nutrients as unflavored milk (calcium, potassium, phosphorous, protein, vitamins A, D, B12, Riboflavin and niacin), and can help kids meet their calcium requirements.
- Flavored milk consumers did not have higher total fat or calorie intakes than non milk consumer Kids Love the Taste of Flavored Milk
- According to 2005 USDA data, 66% of the milk chosen by children in schools is flavored

DHA belongs to a category of healthy fatty acids known as Omega-3's.
Found in high concentrations in the tissues of the brain and eye, DHA Omega-3 is thought to help support healthy function in these areas. DHA has also been shown to help support heart health.
- DHA provides a nutritional boost for children's growing minds and bodies. Children's brains grow incredibly fast. In fact, the brain nearly quadruples in the first five years of life.
- DHA is a key structural component of the brain, yet many young children don't get their recommended daily amount of DHA as it is found in a limited number of food sources.
Horizon Organic Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 is fortified with a natural, 100 percent vegetarian and sustainable source of DHA - a safe, wholesome, delicious way to bring more of this important nutrient into your family's diet.

Chocolate Milk is an Effective Post-Exercise Recovery Beverage
A 2006 study showed that low fat milk was as effective at post-exercise rehydration as sports drinks because of the natural carb:pro ratio in flavored milks, low fat chocolate milk is an effective post-exercise recovery beverage.
The appropriate carb:pro ratio for improving endurance performance is about 4:1 However, effective ranges can vary from 2:1 and up to 5:1. Consuming carbohydrate and protein post workout has been shown to:
- Enhance muscle glycogen formation
- Promote a hormonal environment that encourages muscle growth
- Promote muscle protein production
- May lessen immune-suppressive effects due of intense exercise
