Banana Sushi {Healthy Toddler Snack Idea}

I have a toddler that LOVES to snack. Snack time is easily her favorite time of the day.  Her little palate prefers sweet snacks over savory, so I’m always looking for easy snack ideas that will satisfy her sweet tooth. Fruit is an obvious choice of snack in this instance.  However, eating the same plain fruits day after day can get monotonous. Therefore, I like to switch things up every once in a while. Banana “sushi” is a great way to provide your child with a healthy snack that seems like a special treat. The way we typically make banana sushi in our house is by spreading natural sugar-free peanut butter on a small six inch whole wheat tortilla, drizzle with a little bit of honey (optional – and omit if under 12 months old) and place a banana in the center.  Next you just roll it all up and slice into sushi sized pieces! Pretty simple.  You can substitute any ingredients that work for you and your family; use a nut-free butter, omit honey, even add in some chia seeds or chocolate chips! The possibilities are endless. 

Feel free to share how your little one enjoyed their “sushi” below in the comments 🙂
