What can we use if we don't have a measuring cup or a blender?
If you don't have a measuring cup, use a standard mug (about 1 cup) to measure the yogurt and 1/2–1 mug for milk, and if you don't have a blender, mash the adult-chopped fruit and yogurt together on the cutting board and stir in milk or use a hand mixer.
My smoothie is still lumpy or the blender stalls—what should we do?
If the mixture isn't smooth or the blender stalls, ensure the blender lid is on securely (step 8), stop and have an adult scrape down the sides, then add a little more of the measured milk and blend again.
How can we adapt the steps for different ages?
For toddlers, have an adult do the chopping (step 5) and operate the blender (step 9) while the child washes hands (step 1) and measures yogurt and milk (steps 3–4), and for older kids let them chop with supervision, measure, blend, and post the finished smoothie on DIY.org.
How can we make the Rise and Shine Smoothie more interesting or personal?
To personalize the smoothie, add a handful of spinach with the chopped fruit in the blender (step 6), stir in a spoonful of oats or honey with the measured yogurt (step 6), use frozen fruit for thickness, and decorate the cup before sharing a photo on DIY.org.
