You would not be a real pretend athlete if you failed to advocate the perfunctory post-workout blended concoction known in North America as the smoothie. For all I know it's also known as a smoothie in Asia, but it's impossible to translate that language into Americanish. I suspect, however, that "smoothie" is a concept recognized only by people who have too much real food to eat and have to invent ways to get more silken tofu into their diets.
Be forewarned. If you workout so hard that the only hope of recovery is to consume a pureed, pre-digested looking slurry, then you will need to drive to town and get your shopping done beforehand. They don't sell whey-protein, bee pollen, or soy powder at your local market. Well, maybe they do, but they're probably in the same isle as the kotex, and I don't go that way.
So, is it important to eat something immediately after a workout? I don't know, I guess. Your recovery and development probably have more to do with the total calories consumed each day, but if you believe that slurping a blended drink before the sweat dries is the key to optimal enhancement of your body, then who am I to disabuse you of that notion.
Since I am a pretend real athlete, I offer to you the smoovest smoovie recipe available on the entire internet today. Here are the ingredients:
Use blender to get all the other ingredients all blendy. Enjoy!
OK, the my wife's homemade yogurt is optional since it would be very expensive for you to buy. For a few more calories, substitute the sugar for some of that Carnation Instant Breakfast. Vanilla works best, and it is delicious. Keep practicing until you get the consistency you like.
I have no doubt that you will win many races by working out and drinking my smoovy. You're welcome.

Since I am a pretend real athlete, I offer to you the smoovest smoovie recipe available on the entire internet today. Here are the ingredients:
- 1 blender
- milk (I don't know, like two or three cups)(no, the kind in the plastic jug, preferably with the red cap)
- some blueberries, frozen, or strawberries, or peaches(no, just buy a few, cut them up, and throw them in the freezer)(keep 'em separate until they're frozen; they're very hard to separate if they freeze together)
- some of that strawberry syrup you use to make strawberry milk
- my wife's homemade yogurt
- a couple three spoons of sugar (what? no, the white granulated kind that comes in a bag)
Use blender to get all the other ingredients all blendy. Enjoy!
