This was a refreshing change to my morning routine! The candied ginger added a flair, without heat. I added a few ice cubes, and used fat-free buttermilk. Excellent recipe, Julie B! Thanks for sharing...made for ZWT 5.

I don't care for ginger but my mother loves it, so I made this for her - exactly to the recipe. She really enjoyed a glass of this shake for this morning's breakfast and is pleased that she has another serve to enjoy tomorrow morning. She loved the blend of flavours and wouldn't even mind a bit more ginger in it! So, Julie, I'll certainly be making this again. Next time, I'm going to try making it with Greek yoghurt instead of the buttermilk. Thank you for sharing this recipe! Made for PRMR.

Yum! My family really loved this! I froze the banana, used fresh pineapple and fresh pineapple juice, and I used soy milk instead of buttermilk just to make it a little healthier. I also used the optional coconut extract and even added a little fresh coconut to the mix. Delicious! Thanks! Made for ZWT4 - Jefes de la Cocina!

Mmmm, very nice! A very refreshing breakfast, and healthy to boot. I've never had buttermilk before and was surprised at how it basically tasted like the low fat bio yogurt I get. I stuck to the recipe on the whole but used powdered ginger instead of candied (because I didn't have any candied) and omitted the coconut extract because I can't find it in the shops over here. If you only have powdered ginger to hand then I recommend not bothering as I couldn't taste it at all. Also, I forgot to refrigerate the banana and pineapple so I added a handfull of ice to the blender to chill it down. A really good recipe that I'll definitely be using again. Thanks Julie!
