All I need is a beach umbrella and this will feel like a Caribbean vacation. I didn't have soymilk so I mixed 1 tablespoon of plain nonfat yogurt and added skim milk to get the 3/4 cup measure to account for the fact that soy is a biot thicker. This was unneeded as the banana provided plenty of creaminess. I did not add sugar or honey as it was plenty sweet on its own. The result was a thick and frosty treat that was well worth 5 stars. To make it even more sublime, I added 2 drops of coconut extract. Yummmmmm. Glad noone else was around to hear my loud slurpping. Thanks Dancer!

I tagged this for a recipe game and printed it out. Then I realized I had mis-tagged. But never fear, I decided I still needed to try it! I agree with Roosie that this is mellow. I used canned pineapple and oraganic skim milk because I was out of soy. I tried it plain but felt it needed the sweetner called for. I used splenda. Once that was added I thought it was very nice. My 3 year old and I enjoyed it quite a lot. A dash of rum extract would be good too!

Yum! Pretty mild, but tasty. I used frozen pineapple and organic 2% milk rather than soymilk, although I think this would be lovely with soymilk. I adding a drop of honey as suggested. Nice and thick with a good mellow "hammock on the beach" mood to it. I'm not big on bananas, but BF (who isn't a banana fan either) and I both agree that the pineapple balances it nicely. I think this would be good too with coconut milk, for even more tropical flavor.

Yummy! Had this for breakfast and used frozen fresh pineapple and vanilla soy milk, but no added honey or sweetener. Very mild flavor but still quite good. I like Toni's suggestion of a bit of coconut extract. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
