Notes
- The total yield depends on how you layer your bananas and the size of your serving bowls. The estimated nutrition information is based on 12 servings.
- Adjust the amount of your banana layer depending on the size of your serving container. I usually like to fill about ⅓ of the glass with bananas then the rest with shaved ice.
- Make sure to allow your banana mixture to cool completely before serving.
- You can make the banana mixture up to 3 days ahead but note that the sago or tapioca pearls will start to harden.
