I read an article just last night in this months Oxygen magazine about milk as a post workout recovery drink. "The protein in cow's milk is highly effective in repairing muscle tissue damage. The key seems to be the unique combination of whey protein, which acts rapidly on the muscles to launch the recovery process, and the casein, a slower-acting protein that supports sustained recovery.""while milk does contain 12 grams of sugar per cup, the glycemic response is actually quite low" "try low fat chocolate mile when recovering from an intense series of workouts or if training twice daily. The extra carbs help replenish the depleted fuel (glycogen) stores in your muscles"
Personally, I use fat free milk. I don't like the protein powders, too much aritficial sweetners etc. When possible I want to use whole, clean foods for my nutrient sources.

Its a great post workout treat...has simple sugars and whey protein and casein and is way cheaper than a shake per serving.

This is a partially biased answered considering two things I hate are chocolate and milk. However, I do not do much dairy but do not recommend for post workout nutrition. I would do a protein shake or eat whole foods.
Milk
-Mucous
-Hormones
-Difficult to digest
-High in saturated fat - Not a good saturated fat either (LCFA) difficult chain to break down
I would eat either whole foods which I personally prefer. However if you are really particular about feeding your muscles at a more rapid rate I would do a protein shake. Whey being the highest biological quality protein and very fast digesting.

I can't give you a source on this, but I remember hearing it in my personal trainer class when I took it...
Supposedly one of the best things you can give yourself after a workout (besides a pat on the back) is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Now... depending on what kind of bread and peanut butter and jelly you use, I would say that it may not be the best choice. However, I do think that a PBJ can definitely be a great, balanced, nutritious post-workout/recovery snack. (whole grain bread, reduced fat peanut butter or smart balance peanut butter, not sure about jelly I don't eat it).
As far as chocolate milk goes... Who knows. You would definitely get plenty of sugar from the chocolate syrup, but is that really the kind of sugar you want going into your body? I would say that you could go with a class of 0% milk with your healthy PBJ and no chocolate syrup and be ok. As long as we're not talking GOMAD diet here (yes, real diet- gallon of milk a day).
I'm not an RD, so I can't offer a recommendation.

I have to admit, as a marathon runner, I enjoy a cold glass of non-fat chocolate milk (no high fructose corn syrup - all natural chocolate instead) after my long runs - it's high in protein, and it sure hits the spot after 2 hours of running hard!

Milk, protein shakes, peanut-butter sandwich or anything works
depending on people's preferences.. Lot of people hate milk
or they just don't care for a shake.... Uffff! Whatever!!
It takes years to really figure out what really works for someone's
body depending of age & most importantly lifestyle.
