What can we use instead of plain yogurt and milk if someone is lactose intolerant?

Replace the 1 cup plain yogurt with 1 cup dairy-free yogurt (soy or coconut) and the 1/2 cup milk with 1/2 cup almond or oat milk when measuring and adding them to the blender.

My smoothie is gritty after blending; how do I fix it?

If the 1/2 cup oats make the smoothie gritty after blending on medium for about 30 seconds, soak the oats in the 1/2 cup milk for 5 minutes before adding or blend longer/pulse on high for 15–20 seconds with the lid secured by an adult.

How can the steps be adapted for younger children or older kids?

For younger kids, have an adult do the apple cutting on the cutting board and let them pour measured ingredients like the yogurt and honey into the blender, while older kids can measure, chop the apple (if allowed), and operate the blender with an adult helping to secure the lid.

How can we make the smoothie taste more like apple pie or share it differently?

Add a pinch of nutmeg with the 1 teaspoon cinnamon, top the poured smoothie with crushed graham crackers, or blend in a tablespoon of peanut butter before pouring to boost the apple pie flavors and create a photo-worthy finish to share on DIY.org.

Facts about cooking and kitchen safety for kids

🍯 Honey can last for thousands of years — archaeologists have found perfectly edible honey in ancient tombs.

📏 Measuring is kitchen math made fun: 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons, a great trick for young chefs to remember!

🌾 Oats are a whole grain that thicken smoothies and give steady energy to help you play longer.

🥤 The word “smoothie” grew popular in the 1960s; blending helps release flavors and makes drinks extra creamy.

🍎 There are over 7,500 apple varieties worldwide — and apples float because they're about 25% air!

How do I make an apple pie smoothie with my child?

To make an apple pie smoothie with your child, wash, core and chop 1–2 apples (an adult should do the cutting). Let the child measure 1 cup yogurt, 1/2–1 cup milk, 1/4–1/2 cup oats, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon honey. Add ingredients and a few ice cubes to the blender. Adult secures the lid and blends until smooth, then pour into cups and discuss measurements and flavors together.

What materials do I need for an apple pie smoothie?

You’ll need 1–2 apples (washed and cored), 1 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla), 1/2–1 cup milk or milk alternative, 1/4–1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon honey, measuring cups and spoons, and a blender. Also have a cutting board and knife for adult use, cups and spoons, optional ice or banana, and wipes or a towel for spills.

What ages is this activity suitable for?

This activity works for a wide range: ages 2–3 can wash fruit and help stir with close supervision; ages 4–7 can measure ingredients and assemble the smoothie; ages 8+ can learn about measurements and watch the blender while an adult operates it. Always have an adult handle chopping and the blender, and adapt tasks to your child’s fine motor skills and attention level.

What are the benefits and safety tips for making apple pie smoothies with kids?

Making smoothies teaches measuring, sensory exploration, and healthy flavor choices while improving fine motor skills. Safety tips: an adult should do all cutting and operate the blender. Do not give honey to children under 1 year. Check for dairy or oat allergies and offer alternatives. Keep the blender lid secure, cut fruit into small pieces to avoid choking, supervise tasting, and clean up spills promptly.
