PTC MEMBER TESTIMONIALS:

​

"Great taste and maximum recovery! As a 36 year old professional athlete, recovery continues to play an important part of my nutrition plan. I was tired of the sports drink type flavor recovery drink and I was so fortunate to find Cocoa Elite. Not only does the new vegan product taste amazing, but it works. I use the product after each of my workout sessions that either include intensity or are over 1 hour in duration and it helps me bounce back faster and stronger for the next session. Age continues to be just a number and I’m very happy to have Cocoa Elite on my side and I stand behind their product as the #1 recovery drink on the market hands down!!!!"

- Chad Holderbaum

​

"This is a very nice product! Unlike other sports recovery drinks, this one doesn’t taste like chalk! Thanks for letting me try it! I’m looking forward to experimenting with it some more in different ways!"

- Cortney Ballard

 

"I love chocolate, but always found chocolate milk to be too thick and syrupy, even the low-fat kind. Cocoa Elite is delicious, mixes to just the right consistency, and I know that it is balanced with just the right amounts of nutrients for optimum recovery. I put a single-pack in my dry bag during my marathon. After crossing the finish line I could barely walk, but I downed my Cocoa Elite right away, and that night and the next day I felt better than I ever had post-marathon!"

- Holly Wik

​

"Ran a 26 miler recent weekend, of course got home feeling my body breaking down, stiff and etc. Within 10 minutes or so of drinking this product, I could feel my strength building back up again. Not only does it taste good, it is far better than donuts after the run, it’s exactly what my body needed for a recovery."

- Erin Bosely
