What can we use if we don't have milk or cocoa powder for the smoothie?
If you don't have milk or cocoa powder, measure 1 cup of almond or oat milk (or thin 1 cup of plain yogurt with a little water) and add 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup in place of the cocoa powder before pouring into the blender.
The blender isn't blending everything smoothly or the lid keeps popping—what should we check?
Make sure the banana is broken into smaller pieces as the instructions say, press the lid down until it is secure, and ask an adult to blend a little longer on low or add a splash more measured milk if needed.
How can we adapt this activity for younger or older children?
For younger kids, have an adult pre-measure the 1 cup milk and 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and supervise rinsing strawberries, removing tops, and placing pieces into the blender, while older children can do all the measuring, peeling, and ask an adult only to plug in and blend on low for 30 seconds.
How can we make the smoothie more interesting or personalize it?
Try adding a handful of spinach, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, or a few ice cubes to the blender before blending, garnish with a sliced strawberry after blending, and then share your finished smoothie on DIY.org.
