Banana Sushi 

Banana sushi is a fun, quick, and nutritious snack perfect for kids and adults alike. This no-cook recipe transforms a ripe banana into bite-sized "sushi" rolls by wrapping it in a spread-covered tortilla and slicing it into rounds. The simplicity makes it perfect for lunchboxes, after-school snacks, or a healthy breakfast alternative. Customizable with spreads like peanut butter, almond butter, or cream cheese and toppings such as crushed nuts, coconut, or chia seeds, banana sushi is as playful as it is satisfying. It's a clever way to enjoy bananas with extra texture, flavor, and fun!

Ingredients

• 1 ripe but firm banana
• 1 flour tortilla (taco-size or fajita-size)
• 2–3 tablespoons peanut butter, almond butter, or cream cheese
• Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, cinnamon, honey

Directions

1. Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the peanut butter or your chosen spread evenly over the tortilla.
   
   

2. Place the banana at one edge of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.
   
   

3. If desired, roll the outside of the tortilla in your favorite toppings or sprinkle them over the spread before rolling.
   
   

4. Slice the roll into 1-inch pieces using a sharp or serrated knife to create “sushi” rounds.
   
   

5. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, or pack tightly in a lunchbox for later.
