I made this for my daughter when she wasn't feeling well. It turned out great despite a couple of minor changes I made; I didn't happen to have rice/soy milk on hand at the time so I used dairy milk which worked fine. Also, I did not use coconut flavor. I cut the sugar in half because my daughter's stomach can't handle much sugar, but with all of the banana that is in it, it was plenty sweet enough. I may also have added a pinch of salt, but I don't remember now. Anyway, my daughter found it very soothing...I tried it and would have eaten more, but I need the non-dairy version for myself - I think I will try making it with light coconut milk. IF you taste it and there is not enough banana flavor, just add 1/2 banana more.<br/><br/>As for Chef-589419's ungracious review: If the flavor was that bad, it sounds like she may have added too much cornstarch or been unaccustomed to the flavor of soy milk. There is nothing in the recipe that would cause it to taste as bad as she describes. I urge anyone reading this to try it for them selves. Some times, the flavor of corn starch does come through a recipe, so if you are not used to it, it may taste off, but I couldn't taste cornstarch in this recipe. And of course, her cat didn't like it - I've seen cats eat all kinds of fruit and vegies, but NEVER bananas.
