Banana Sushi Roll

National Banana Day is tomorrow, April 20, so celebrate with one of our favorite #CACFPCreditable snacks. You can have a pair of children work together to make this. Give each pair a small 100% whole wheat flour tortilla and 2 tbsp peanut butter. Let them spread the peanut butter using a spoon. Place one large banana at one end and roll it up. Slice the roll into eight pieces and give four slices to each child.
