Soak Dried Figs: In cases where dried figs are used, they are usually prohibited to stay in the blender without being soaked to puree well, and make the mixture creamy.

Chill Before Serving: To make drinking the smoothie even more delightful, place the smoothie into the refrigerator for ten minutes before drinking or add more ice cubes.

Customize Sweetness: Skip honey/maple syrup or add more if your child prefers the sweetness level of a particular dish.

Blend Thoroughly: Make sure that all the ingredients have blended properly so as to give a smooth mix especially for those who are very picky on what they are served with.
