Help!?
What can we use if we don't have gingerbread cookies or a blender?
Substitute 4 graham crackers or 4 ginger snap cookies for the gingerbread cookies, and if you don't have a blender ask an adult to mash the banana and crushed cookies in a bowl and whisk in the measured cup of milk or yogurt until smooth.
What should we do if the cookies won't crush finely or the smoothie is too thin?
If crumbs stay large, reseal the bag and crush harder with the rolling pin (steps 3–4), and if the smoothie is too thin add another ice cube or an extra cookie crumb and blend longer (step 11).
How can we change the activity for younger or older kids?
For preschoolers have an adult pre-crush the 4 cookies and pre-measure the milk and cinnamon while the child pours (steps 3 and 7–8), and for older kids let them slice the banana (step 5), measure ingredients (steps 7–9) and operate the blender with supervision (step 11).
How can we make the Gingerbread Cookie Smoothie more special or nutritious?
Add 1 tablespoon peanut butter or 2 tablespoons rolled oats before blending (steps 8–9) for protein and texture, or top the finished smoothie with extra cookie crumbs and a dash of cinnamon and then share your creation on DIY.org.
