Help!?
What can we use instead of the honey or cow's milk if we don't have them?
For the 'Add 1 tablespoon of honey' step use maple syrup or mashed dates, and for the 'Add 1 cup (240 ml) of milk' step use plant milks like oat or almond or thinned yogurt as substitutes.
My smoothie is lumpy or the blender isn't blending well—what should I try?
Cut the banana into smaller chunks, add a splash more milk, make sure you 'Put the blender lid on tightly', and blend on medium a bit longer in short bursts with adult help per the 'blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds' instruction.
How can I adapt the steps for younger toddlers or older kids?
For toddlers let them 'Wash your hands', peel and break the banana, and scoop avocado while an adult does the 'cut the avocado lengthwise' and pit removal, and for older kids have them measure ingredients, operate the blender with supervision, and 'Taste a small spoonful' to adjust flavors.
How can we personalize or boost the flavor and nutrition of the smoothie?
When you 'Put the banana chunks into the blender' try adding a handful of spinach, a tablespoon of peanut butter or chia seeds, or some frozen berries, then blend and share your finished creation on DIY.org as suggested.
