[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, there isn't.  It is meant to be sweet and filled with sugar.  Stop giving it to your kids.

Even Fairlife is filled with sugar, a little less, but still a lot.  The high protein version has artificial sweetener.  Do you really want to give your kids that?

Chocolate milk on the regular is a bad habit to create[/quote]

I agree that it should be viewed as a treat, not given in lieu of water with meals but I don’t think there’s any issue in giving your kids a cup of chocolate milk every day. I’d do it.

This past winter our kids had a mug of hot chocolate almost every night. They loved it and wanted it for a full month and then just stopped asking for it. All of this depends, though, on how strict you are with food. I think as long as your kid is eating healthy foods and a varied diet treats are not a big deal. I do know other parents feel otherwise.[/quote]

Chocolate milk daily is too much.  Kids get tons of other treats too; at school, at parties, weekends out, home baking. Why give them chocolate milk, in addition, every day? [/quote]

Too much for you. I disagree. Coupled with a diet of healthy whole foods I don’t think even a daily treat is going to impact their health in any meaningful way. I will say I try to give my kids healthier versions of junk food and I’d go light on the chocolate syrup but, in active kids who eat well, I genuinely don’t believe this is a big deal.  [/quote]
