Banana sushi is one of those snacks in my mom toolbelt that is always a home run. My kid happily gobbles down this simple snack and this simple peanut butter and banana snack sticks with her a little longer. Have a kid coming home from school starving? Make this banana sushi for a simple but quick and easy snack that keeps them full.

Banana Sushi- A Super Quick Kid’s Snack

Kid's plate full of banana slices wrapped in tortilla and peanut butter with banana and kid\'s chopsticks.

Peanut butter at our house tends to be something we have at home but is a definitely a staple in many kid’s diets. Quick and easy for breakfast, lunch or a quick snack.

Check out the ranch flavored Veggie Tortilla Pinwheel Rollups, the Pizza Tortilla Rollups or the carrot sunshine dip for more great snacks and bites kids will love.

I’ve heard the combination of peanut butter and banana called “The Elvis Presley” before because one of Elvis’ favorite treats was a banana and peanut butter sandwich. (Sometimes he added bacon, I’m not sure how I feel about bacon and peanut butter together!) No need to fry with this easy no-cook snack. I bet you could have this snack on the plate before your kid can even turn up the music.

This is also a great snack for busy nights when we have sports or other activities. The kids can have this by itself after school or you can add a few more sides like raw veggies and fruits, crackers, yogurt and whatever else you have on hand in your fridge. (Try a sprinkle of my homemade crunchy cranberry maple granola in this banana sushi snack, delicious!)

Try this fun 3 minute Olympic torch snack made with ice cream cones, bell pepper and hummus.

If you happen to have a pair of kid-sized chopsticks it makes things even more fun. (and perhaps interesting depending on how skilled they are!) I bet your kid would love trying to pick up their sushi pieces with trainer chopsticks, mine does!

When I made this post, I made more than one banana sushi for photos and such. My kid gleefully gobbled every single one (sometimes I had insisted she not grab one from the plate while I was taking the pictures. Can you see that in the photos? Ha!)

This ended up being dinner that night for her. I would say that’s a hit, and maybe she needed someone to share that with for next time!

So have you ever tried making banana sushi? What are some of your favorite quick kid’s snacks?
