Banana Sushi

I subscribe to many newsletters relating to nutrition, fitness, etc. One of those newsletter is by a man named Yuri Elkaim.

Recently in his newsletter he shared a recipe for banana sushi!

I thought it was so clever so I decided to give it a try.

Here is what I found:

  • It is scrummy!
  • It is fun to eat!
  • Both kids and hubby LOVED it!
  • It is the perfect dessert!
  • It is a nearly perfect snack! (Just go easy on the chocolate chips.)

Banana Sushi*

Ingredients:

  • 2 bananas, preferably slightly underripe and shaped more straight than curved
  • about ¼ cup peanut or almond butter
  • about ⅓ cup topping of choice, such as: mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, chia
    seeds,  coconut, or any combination of these

Instructions:

  • Cut each banana in half crosswise.
  • Stand the bananas up, cut side down, on a plate.
  • Using a small spoon (or your hands), gently spread the nut butter all over each banana piece.
  • Place the toppings on a plate.  Transfer the banana halves to the plate and roll in the
    toppings.
  • Place bananas in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes for the nut butter to set.
  • Slice the bananas into ‘sushi’ rounds!
