Remove the cookie sheet from the oven, transfer the toasted coconut to a bowl, and set aside.

In a glass bowl, place the navel and blood orange segments, pineapple chunks, orange juice, and sugar, and toss gently to combine. Cover and chill the mixture for several hours or overnight.  Just before serving, add the reserved toasted coconut and almonds, along with the bananas, and toss gently to combine. Transfer the mixture to a large glass bowl for service.
