Help!?
If I can’t find fresh mango or yogurt, what can I use instead?
Substitute frozen mango or canned peaches (drained) for fresh mango and use plant-based yogurt or almond/soy milk in place of dairy when you measure one cup and pour it into the blender.
My blender makes a lumpy smoothie or the lid leaks—what should I do?
If the smoothie is lumpy or the lid leaks, first add a little more yogurt or milk to the blender, press the lid on securely, and have an adult pulse the blender until smooth.
How can I adapt this activity for younger or older children?
For toddlers, have an adult do the mango cutting and blending while they add pre-cut fruit and choose ice or honey, and for older kids let them cut strawberries with a child-safe knife under supervision and measure the one cup of yogurt or milk themselves.
How can we make the smoothie more interesting or healthier?
Boost flavor or nutrition by adding a handful of spinach or half a banana into the blender, swapping ice cubes for frozen fruit for extra creaminess, and decorate the serving cup before taking the photo to share on DIY.org.
