A member asked:

What is better, chocolate milk or strawberry whey protein shake for afte workout?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Either: The whey protein shake likely has more protein, depending on how much is added. Base your decision on the nutrients and what you are looking for- which has more protein? Number of fat grams? Amount of simple sugars? Does the shake have added vitamins and minerals? What tastes the best? Both sound like reasonable recovery drinks.
