How to make banana sushi 

The great thing about this fun recipe is how quickly it comes together! In just a few minutes, you have a delicious snack that knocks a plain ol' banana out of the park. 

1. Lay out one tortilla, and spread two tablespoons of peanut butter, cream cheese, or Nutella evenly over the surface. 
2. Place a peeled banana at the end of the tortilla.
3. Roll the banana in the tortilla snugly. Place the tortilla seam-side-down on the cutting board.
4. Spread the remaining tablespoon of peanut butter, cream cheese, or Nutella over the top of the tortilla roll.
5. Sprinkle chopped peanuts, freeze-dried strawberries, or shredded coconut on top. 
6. Slice into 1-inch slices.

Variations on banana sushi 

We came up with three ways to make banana sushi, but the possibilities are endless! Here are a few other ingredients to mix and match. 

• Try almond butter or any other kind of nut butter or seed butter as the spread. 
• The more toppings, the better! Try chocolate chips, chia seeds, sprinkles, or even melted chocolate. 

This is your banana sushi party, we're just happy to be invited. 

Do I have to use chopsticks? 

No, but it sure is fun! Sushi is traditionally finger food, so feel free to skip the chopsticks and dive right in.

Why is my roll-up falling apart? 

It could be falling apart because there isn't enough nut butter, Nutella, or cream cheese! Make sure you use a good amount of spread over the entire tortilla and roll tightly to keep everything together.
