What can I use instead of cow's milk or plain yogurt if someone has allergies or you don't have them?
You can use 1 cup almond, oat, or soy milk in place of the 1 cup milk and swap the 1/2 cup plain yogurt for 1/2 cup coconut yogurt or an extra ripe banana to keep the smoothie creamy.
Why is my smoothie still lumpy after blending and how can I fix it?
If itās lumpy after the adult blends on medium-high for about 30 seconds, stop and unplug the blender, add a splash more milk or another 1/2 cup yogurt (or an extra banana) and blend again or add the 4 ice cubes to help break up chunks and thicken it.
How can I adapt this activity for different ages so it's safe and fun?
For toddlers, have an adult do the step to cut the avocado and operate the blender while the child washes hands, rinses strawberries, removes stems, and scoops avocado into the blender, and for older kids let them measure the 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup yogurt, add ingredients, and ask an adult only to secure the lid and blend.
What are some easy ways to improve or personalize the avocado strawberry smoothie?
Try adding a handful of spinach before you add the 1 cup strawberries for extra greens, stir in a tablespoon of chia seeds or use 1 cup frozen strawberries instead of 4 ice cubes for a thicker texture, and top with sliced strawberries before you share your finished creation on DIY.org.
