There's conveniently a Stewart's on the way home from my gym, and there's a good chance there's one near you, too. Milk and chocolate milk from Stewart's could be the key to packing that muscle back on after months of the quarantine.

Most gyms are back up and running in New York, and it's time to shed those unwanted pounds you might have packed on during the quarantine. Or maybe you've had to say a say sad goodbye to some muscle you gained before March. Did you know that delicious milk from Stewart's can help your body recover from intense workouts and at a fraction of the price of expensive protein shakes? Once I figured this out, it was an absolute game-changer in my performance and saved me a lot of cash.

If you're like me, you're absolutely chomping at the bit to get back to a normal workout routine again. Though we might have been able to keep somewhat active on the trails or in our makeshift workout rooms at home, many of us have not been able to perform a rigorous workout since March.

As we get back at it you should know that going back to the gym so suddenly and trying to do those hardcore workouts you're used to can be quite a shock to your body and what you eat and drink after these workouts will be absolutely essential in gaining that muscle back. According to Stewart's, your body uses stored sugar during exercise and research has proven that chocolate milk from your local Stewart's has a great carbohydrate to protein ratio that will help repair your muscles after a workout.

Not only does the rich and delicious milk from Stewart's taste amazing it's even made to perfection.

Cornell University tested different whole milk, 2%, 1%, fat free milk, and chocolate milk from all over New York and Stewart's milk was awarded the Blue Ribbon. Stewart's milk and chocolate milk is of the highest quality and taste. Flavor is a huge part of the grading criteria as well so it's no surprise that Stewart's brought home the prize. That blue ribbon means that Stewart's milk and chocolate milk is the best in New York State.

If you're putting in the work at the gym you obviously care about your body so you should care about what goes into your body. Stewart's Shops have taken the farmers pledge. That means their milk contains no growth hormones or antibiotics.

Stewart's is packed with tons of healthy and protein-packed drinks and meals at the ready for both muscle recovery and hydration. Of course, they've got all the treats you need to reward yourself with, too. There is milk in ice cream after all, right?
