What can I substitute if I don't have milk, yogurt, or honey?
If you don't have milk, swap 1 cup for almond or oat milk, replace 1/2 cup yogurt with 1/2 mashed banana or dairy-free yogurt, and use 1 teaspoon maple syrup instead of honey when measuring and adding to the blender.
The smoothie is chunky after blending; what should we do?
If the mixture is still chunky after about 30 seconds of blending, ask the adult to secure the blender lid tightly, pulse in 10‑second bursts, scrape down the blender jar, and add a tablespoon of extra milk if needed before blending again.
How can we adapt this activity for younger or older children?
For younger children, let them wash hands, rinse the apple and avocado, and help put materials on the counter while an adult does the cutting and blending, and for older children let them measure the 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup yogurt, time the 30‑second blend, and pour with supervision.
How can we personalize or extend the smoothie activity?
To personalize or extend the recipe, add a handful of spinach, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a scoop of protein powder to the blender, try different fruits instead of apple, and share the photo of your finished smoothie and what you learned on DIY.org.
