Bahama Mama™ Base

1 1/2 cups frozen banana

3/4 cups frozen strawberries

1/2 cups frozen pineapple

1/2 cups coconut cream (or full-fat canned coconut milk, well shaken)

1/4 cups plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

2 tbsp white chocolate chips

1 tsp honey or agave (for slight sweetness in base, optional)

Toppings

1/2 cups granola (crunchy)

1/2 cups fresh pineapple, diced

1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp honey (for drizzle)

Optional Garnish / Add-ins

1/2 tsp lime zest

1 tbsp toasted coconut flakes

2 to taste Mint leaves

Method

Bahama Mama™ Base

Prepare white chocolate

Place white chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until just melted and smooth (about 40–60 seconds total). Let cool 1–2 minutes.

Blend base

In a high-speed blender, combine frozen banana, frozen strawberries, frozen pineapple, coconut cream, Greek yogurt, melted white chocolate, and 1 tsp honey (if using). Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until mixture is thick, smooth, and scoopable like soft-serve. If mixture is too thick, add 1–2 tbsp coconut cream or a splash of cold water; if too thin, add a small handful of frozen banana or ice to thicken.

Taste and adjust sweetness — add up to 1/2 tsp additional honey if desired. Transfer the blended Bahama Mama base into a bowl, smoothing the top with a spoon.

Toppings

Sprinkle 1/2 cup granola in an even layer over one side of the Bahama Mama base to maintain some crunchy contrast.

Top with 1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple and 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries, arranging them artfully across the bowl.

Evenly scatter 2 tbsp shredded coconut and 1 tbsp chia seeds over the fruit and granola.

Drizzle 1 tbsp honey over the entire bowl in a thin stream. If honey is thick, warm it 5–10 seconds in the microwave to loosen.

Garnish & Serve

Finish with optional lime zest, toasted coconut flakes, and a couple of mint leaves for aroma and color.

Serve immediately with a spoon. If preparing ahead, keep the base frozen and add toppings just before serving to preserve crunch and texture.
