Meet Darin Deaton. Darin is what we like to call a multi-tasker. Co-owner of a physical therapy and sports medicine clinic and owner/operator of one of Fort Worth’s leading CrossFit boxes, Darin understands the importance of quality nutrition to gain maximum performance. While visiting his gym we noticed that he stored his AthletesMilk in a deep freeze… so we had to know more.

What is the name of your gym? CrossFit Fort Worth

When and why did you get into CrossFit? Feb of 2008. I was looking through a fitness magazine and I saw an article about CrossFit with CrossFit LA. I was intrigued by the level of athleticism and the promoted science of the training. The idea of developing “Broad Based Fitness” had always been a goal of my training. I was cross training but not satisfied with the results. My background was in competitive gymnastics, so the body weight training also caught my attention.

When did you first hear about Athletes HoneyMilk? At a Sprint Triathlon in Spring 2010, Athens Texas.

What was your first impression when you tasted Athletes HoneyMilk? Good! Sweet milk taste with minimal thickness allowing quick ingestion. I also liked the fact that it did not appear to cause that thickened saliva response that most milk based products create.

What differentiates Athletes HoneyMilk from other recovery drinks? Natural contents, lower glycemic, high protein and well balanced in protein, fats and carbs consistent with a balanced dietary plan. It also has both slow and faster digestable protein sources, whey and casein. Due to the lower glycemic index there is a slower blood sugar response yet good availability of all macronutrients for recovery.

What is your favorite Athletes HoneyMilk flavor? Light Chocolate

What is your favorite way to enjoy Athletes HoneyMilk? Cold as possible, almost frozen like a smoothy!
