Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fruits

    Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2 inch rounds. Cut the pineapple into small chunks, discarding the skin and core. Juice the lime and set the juice aside.

  2. 2

    Toast the Almonds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant. Keep stirring to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let them cool.

Assembly

    Combine All Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced bananas, pineapple chunks, and lime juice. Add the toasted almonds and shredded coconut to the bowl.

    Mix Together

    Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to mash the bananas.

Serving

  1. 5
