Banana Sushi Ingredient Tips

All you need to make this banana sushi at home is just 3 ingredients: banana, dark chocolate and delicious pistachios.

I recommend using high-quality 72% dark chocolate, made with cocoa butter and cocoa beans and no additives. It’s super good for you and it will guarantee that your chocolate sticks well to the banana.

Use bananas that are just perfectly ready to eat ( not the green or overripe ones).

Don’t skip on the pistachio! I’m a huge fan of this superfood, it adds a lovely crunchiness and subtle sweetness to pretty much any kind of sweet and savoury recipe.

I’m really proud to collaborate with American Pistachio Growers, which is a voluntary agricultural trade association representing growers, processors and industry partners in California, Arizona and New Mexico. They take incredible care in growing, in a sustainable way, the best pistachios you can honestly find out there, and their core mission is to spread the word about the many health benefits of this super nut.

Pistachios are powerful tiny nuts. They are a great source of many essential vitamins, minerals and fiber. Above all, they’re packed with protein, which contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle.

As part of my collaboration with American Pistachio Growers, I took their 10 and 2 challenge for 2 weeks, so I ate a small pack of pistachios at 10am and 2pm everyday. I can happily say that snacking on pistachios not only helped me having fewer cravings in-between meals, but it also gave me overall more energy.

How To Make Banana Sushi

This awesome, delicious pistachio + chocolate banana sushi recipe takes literally no more than 15 mins to put together.

Cover the bananas with melted chocolate (to avoid sticky chocolatey fingers, stick a toothpick at both ends of the bananas, so it’s easier to hold them while you cover them).

Then sprinkle the bananas with chopped pistachios and put them in the freezer for a couple of minutes, to allow the chocolate to set.

Once the chocolate is hard enough, cut the bananas into bite-sized sushi pieces with a sharp knife.

That’s it, I promise it takes longer to read the recipe then actually making it! Plus, I’ve added my video tutorial to show you how easy it really is.

This Pistachio Chocolate Banana Sushi is SO pretty, fun and surprisingly simple to put together.

Whether you’re serving them for a party, or simply looking for a healthy delicious snack for you and the rest of the family, this snack is a total success!
