Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Blend the Ingredients
In a blender, combine the banana, pineapple chunks, coconut milk, white rum (if using), and ice cubes.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of pineapple juice or water to thin it out.
2. Taste and Adjust
Taste the Banana Mama and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding honey, simple syrup, or a bit more pineapple.
Blend again briefly to incorporate any adjustments.
3. Prepare the Glass
Optional: Rim the glass with coconut flakes by dipping the edge in water or lime juice and then into a plate of shredded coconut.
Fill the glass with fresh ice to keep your drink cold.
4. Serve and Garnish
Pour the blended mixture into the prepared glass.
Garnish with a pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry, and a sprig of mint or an edible flower for a tropical touch.
Add a fun paper umbrella or straw for extra flair!
