The Banana Sushi Experiment!


I'm not one for debating BUT many arguments have probably been born from this recipe due to its ingredients; is it a breakfast recipe, or is it to create a light and indulgent desert?

Today Alice and I created our very own Banana Sushi as a lunch time snack, so we thought we'd do a tutorial (which isn't so airbrushed and professional) and a review on the oh so "simple" recipe.

BuzzFeed's quick and wondrous recipes have swift videos that entice anybody with an internet-using device at their fingertips, like my sister who found the adorable recipe.

This recipe is perfect for those who ADORE Nutella (or any chocolate paste in fact), alongside a hint of healthiness (hence the banana) in their snacks.
So, Here's our not so polished tutorial - Enjoy!


What you'll need:
  • Rice Puff Cereal
  • Chocolate Paste
  • A Banana
  • Plastic wrap
  • A Knife


Method:
  1. Scatter a few handfuls of cereal onto a flat surface and then peel of one of the four sides of skin of your banana.
  2. Spread chocolate paste all of the bare single side of the banana and then pat the cereal onto the chocolate-coated side.
  3. After the first side has been lathered in cereal and chocolate paste, repeat step 2 on each side. Make sure you strip off only one side at a time so that you have the banana skin to hold onto until the very end.
  4. Once all of the sides have been coated, wrap the banana in plastic film so that you can push the rice pops into the chocolate paste. This step is optional but I would advise refrigerating the coated banana so that the chocolate and cereal bonds together better you're preparing California Sushi rolls when you're ready to snack on it for breakfast or desert!

Opinion? As a snack, this recipe is superb for someone who has the time and effort - unlike BuzzFeed's other rapid recipes (like the cake mug), this one was too messy for what it was worth. It was super delicious, but I wouldn't attempt it again, even though it did sound creatively alien when described as sushi.


Thanks for reading - and let me know what you think in the comments below!

  1. I was tempted to try it, but figured I'd make more of a mess than I normally do! I think it'd be easier to just take a banana, spread a little Nutella on, and dip in a small bowl of rice cereal instead of cutting it up. It does look pretty cool, though!

    1. Yeah I get what you mean! My sister was so adamant on making it because she saw it on BuzzFeed. I guess you don't know until you try:)
