This breakfast banana sushi is a fun and healthy way to serve and prepare bananas. Bananas are sliced and covered in almond butter, chia seeds, hemp hearts and cacao nibs.
I normally have a wild blueberry smoothie, turkey sausage patties or a yogurt bowl with chia seed granola for breakfast, but sometimes I want to change it up.

Recipe ingredients
- Banana– any ripe large banana works. Make sure it is as ripe or as unripe as you prefer to eat them.
- Almond butter– a creamy almond butter works best in this recipe.
- Chia seeds– these help build a solid topping on top of the breakfast sushi. They are filled with omega-3s as well.
- Cacao nibs– this superfood adds a nice crunch and chocolatey taste. I like the ones from Anthonys.
- Hemp hearts– these are a good source of fiber and omega-3s.
