Peanut Butter and Banana Roll-Up!

What You’ll Need:

• One whole wheat wrap
• Peanut butter
• One banana
• Raisins (optional)
• A knife and plate

Instructions:

1. Ask for just a whole wheat wrap at the deli.
2. Grab some packets of peanut butter.
3. If you wish, get a small dish full of raisins provided at the salad topping station on the far right side of the fruit and yogurt bar.
4. Head to the cases of fruit and get a banana.
5. At a cutlery station, grab a plate and a knife.
6. At your seat, place your wrap on your plate and use your knife to spread your desired amount of peanut butter all over one flat side of your wrap.
7. If you chose to add raisins, sprinkle some all over the spread peanut butter. We recommend adding raisins for additional texture in the roll-up, as well as some added fiber. This may sound strange, however raisins act as a healthier alternative to grape jelly. They have the same grape flavor, but raisins give you the additional health benefits of fiber that come with eating the whole fruit source, as opposed to just its concentrated sugar content that you get when eating jelly.
8. Completely peel your banana and lay it on the wrap, off-center, so that it is an inch or two from one side.
9. Lift the short side of the wrap over and on top of the banana, the peanut butter should stick to the banana to help the wrap stay.
10. Next, roll the banana so that the side on top of it gets tucked between the banana and the other side of the wrap. Continue rolling the banana over the whole wrap until it is completely rolled up in the wrap and no peanut butter is exposed. It will end up looking similar to a burrito.
11. Finally, use your knife to cut off the excess wrap rolled up at both ends of the banana and devour.

Enjoy!

Fun facts and Food Tips:

• Looking for a way to spice up your healthy salad? Look no further than Wismer’s pizza station! The dining hall provides dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, and garlic powder in shakers next to the trays of pizza. Sprinkle one, or all three, onto your salad to make it a more exciting meal option without compromising its nutritional value with added oil, salt, or sugars. 

• Upper Wismer consistently offers freshly halved grapefruits throughout the year, but did you now that now is the best time to eat them? Grapefruits are in season from January through the early summer months, and since it is springtime, they are peaking in terms of favorable growing conditions, value, and flavor!
