Kid's Fruit Sushi - bring joy

Traditional sushi includes seaweed, vegetables, and more often than not, some sort of fish. For this recipe, however,

No seaweed or fish here!

This kid friendly sushi, made from bananas, 100% fruit roll ups,

coated with unsweetened shredded coconut,

and drizzled with strawberry agave syrup is super easy to make and is perfect for your next party or get together. Mali helped me make these yesterday afternoon, and was even successfully (briefly) with maneuvering the chopsticks! My kids like helping to make these as much as they do eating them.

Kid Friendly Vegan Fruit Sushi

GF, SF

Here’s what you need:

4 All-fruit, fruit roll-ups (I used General Mills, Simply Fruit brand

2-3 bananas (depending on how big your bananas are)
1/4 c. shredded, unsweetened coconut

1/4 c. strawberry agave syrup

First, cut banana tops (if you’re doing it with a little one, let them do it, with your supervision, it’s a great way for them to learn and feel important!). The best bananas to use are ones that have a few brown spots on them (so they are sweeter), but are still firm. Don’t use mushy or hard bananas. Peel skins.
It’s okay if the bananas break. You can put two halves in one roll up.

Peel plastic from roll-up. Be careful not to tear the roll up, you want a full sheet, but if you tear a little, it’s okay, you can fix it when you wrap it around the banana.

Lie them flat, not on top of each other (or else they’ll stick and it will be a sticky, globby mess!).

Place banana (one full, or two broken halves, like this one) on roll up.

Roll the fruit leather tightly around the banana.

The fruit roll up should be sticky so that it will seal itself and wrap around the banana so it looks like this:

Cut each rolled banana into 4-6 pieces. (use a bread knife)

Dip both ends into shredded coconut:

If you want, get your favorite non-dairy yogurt for dipping. We used this:
Place rolls on plate, and drizzle with strawberry agave syrup. Fancy.
Eat with chopsticks and dip in yogurt. Enjoy!
