Chocolate milk is a favourite of mine, but I've also just drank 500mL of whole milk. Interestingly enough, I have tried taking protein powder after a workout, and compared to just drinking 500mL of chocolate milk, there is absolutely no difference. Besides the price of course.

Where are people buying their protein powder that it is so expensive? The protein powder I buy at Costco is around $0.40 per serving, and milk is about $0.25 per serving. Keep in mind that the milk has about 10g of protein per serving, whereas the powder is about 30g, so I wouldn't say either product is a clear winner in the economy department. Not dissing milk, it tastes a whole lot better than the powder, and chocolate milk is very popular right now in the fitness crowd. When I drink milk, it's skim, though. I personally can't afford the extra calories in choco milk or whole milk, that's the downside of having a middle-aged metabolism.
As for vitamin D, I think most GP's are already encouraging patients to take a supplement. Mine is, anyway.
