Social media users gushed over the recipe, with many expressing their keenness to try it themselves.
One person wrote: "I have watched this five times, it looks delicious."
"My favourite kind of trend," another said.
A third chimed in: "Those layers! This sounds amazing."
Chloe also explained the health benefits of the treat, saying: "Water is great for hydration, but it can’t replace the calories you burn or the electrolytes you sweat out, and it doesn’t provide any protein for muscle-repairing."
"Chocolate milk is a natural choice when it comes to electrolytes, providing many of the same electrolytes that are added to commercial recovery drinks."
"It also contains around 8g of protein in every glass. Additionally, If you’re worried about the sugar from the chocolate, don’t; that extra sugar brings that carbs-to-protein ratio up to the ideal ratio for post-workout recovery."
