Almond Butter Banana Sushi Recipe

Snack time has never looked so good! Make your kids banana sushi with their favorite nut butter and toppings for a healthy, filling snack. It is fun to make and fun to eat!

As a grown adult, I’m constantly trying to find ways to be creative with my snacks. I often find myself thinking about the things I would have wanted to eat as a child. While REAL sushi definitely wasn’t one of those things, banana sushi was!  Bananas are sweet and yummy, and with fun toppings make a tempting snack for kids.  The combination of the carbs in the banana, and the protein from the nut butter is a snack that will keep your kids going strong for a long while!  We love to serve this snack in the afternoon so that it tides them over until dinner.

Banana + Nut Butter + Toppings = LOVE

Really, you can’t go wrong with this Almond Butter Banana Sushi Recipe. Even the pickiest of eaters will gobble this up!  It can also be a great dessert!  You can mix up the toppings for a fun after dinner treat!

For this banana sushi recipe I used almond butter, hemp seeds, and dairy free chocolate chips. If your child has an allergy to a certain nut or any of the toppings, you can easily sub for another! If your child is allergic to nuts, sunbutter made from sunflower seeds is a super yummy alternative to almond or peanut butter.

This is also a great snack to work on hand eye coordination and teach the kiddos how to use chopsticks! They will thank you later in life.
