Pro Tip
Set the boundary and the finish line first. No-Recipe Smoothie Lab works best when the setup stays smaller than the story you make together.
Safety First
Adults handle hot surfaces, sharp tools, appliances, and food-safety decisions. Check allergies and dietary needs before choosing ingredients, wash hands, and refrigerate perishable food promptly.
