PWO chocolate so good milk?

Hi people

just wondering as I've tried googling and searching on here but to no avail...

i've run out of rice protein powder! a disaster in itself, but the question is: while i'm waiting for a new one was just wondering is a carton of so good chocolate soya milk good for a post workout meal? what makes me ask is i've heard that fat slows down absorption and there's like 5g fat per 250ml....

ok,
take care brothers and sisters

I wouldn't worry about the fat thing myself, but last time I checked the So Good chocolate milk only contains 20g protein per litre, so too low for PWO in my opinion. Alpro chocolate is pricier of course but that comes in at 33g per litre (most bog standard supermarket versions come in at a similar figure).

Ok nice one Jim and Baldy, thanks for the replies so quickly

i drank that carton down anyway as i had it in my cupboard, with a nice bit of grilled sosmix on the side lol so hopefully that was all good, will have to stock up on some better versions of the milk and sustenance today then eh
