There's no shortage of delicious, healthy, OMG-I-need-to-make-that-right-now smoothie recipes on the internet (this site included). But when you're rushing off to the gym at 6 a.m. or recovering from an insane workout and barely have enough energy to press the "pulse" button on your blender, sometimes it's just easier to freestyle. You know—nix the measuring cups, open the fridge and freezer, and toss whatever's there into that plastic pitcher. But apparently there is an art to healthy haphazardry. This handy chart from activewear aficionado Lorna Jane Clarkson's new book Inspired (get it July 9 at LornaJane.com) shows you how to build a pre- or post-workout smoothie from the ground (er, blades) up.
And now for a delicious example…
