Samoan Poi

Thick banana and coconut-cream drink scented with vanilla.

About Samoan Poi

Alofa Tunoa presents poi as a Samoan banana drink and identifies banana, coconut and vanilla as the classic combination. This version uses ripe bananas, a little water, coconut cream, vanilla extract and ice.

Banana provides most of the body and sweetness, while coconut cream adds richness. Vanilla is the named flavouring in this attributed recipe, distinct from the citrus-leaf scent described in other traditional accounts.

The mixture stays thick and mostly banana. Ice loosens its consistency, and the source serves it cold in glasses. This profile follows the selected banana-and-coconut version without the separately offered milk or ice-cream additions.
