Moms (and dads), remember this recipe? Don’t forget to be careful with the rum.  I say add rum to “taste”, but in this recipe, the rum is hard to taste – easy to feel! Tastes great as a virgin drink too…

Makes 4 servings.

1 large ripe banana, peeled

1 20 oz can of pineapple slices in pineapple juice

1 1/3 cup coconut milk

1/2 ripe mango, peeled, no seed

5 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

rum to taste (optional)

Blend banana, mango, 5 pineapple slices, 1 1/3 cup of pineapple juice (from the can of pineapple slices), coconut milk, and condensed milk. For a quick colada, add 1 1/2 cups of ice to the blender and rum to taste.  For a frozen colada, put the mixture the freezer for 3 to 4 hours.  Remove from the freezer put in the blender. Add rum if you’d like.

About 400 calories without the rum, so it is definitely not an everyday treat.  Add it to your holiday menu! If you try making this one and let us know how it goes. Be sure to include what you changed to make it more your style. Enjoy!
