Loaded Halo-Halo

Filipino flavors, weeknight effort. Shaved ice meets sweetened banana in a 20-minute snack worth keeping in rotation. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 8 grams of protein per serving. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 6 cups Shaved ice
• 1/2 cup Sweetened banana
• 1/2 cup Macapuno
• 1/2 cup Sweet red beans
• 4 slices Leche flan
• 1/2 cup Ube halaya
• 1 cup Evaporated milk
• 1/4 cup Pinipig

Steps

1. Layer the sweetened banana, macapuno, and red beans in the bottom of tall glasses — the order is tradition, not law.
2. Pack shaved ice firmly to the top; fluffy ice melts before you finish.
3. Spoon the ube halaya over the ice like a purple crown.
4. Pour the evaporated milk over everything, watching it seep down through the layers.
5. Top with a slice of leche flan and a sprinkle of pinipig.
6. Serve with a long spoon and strict instructions: mix it all up. Halo-halo means “mix-mix,” and unmixed halo-halo is just a parfait with commitment issues.
