Banana Sushi Rant
Replies
-
I've made something similar to this "banana sushi" recipe, but better. Take a tortilla and lay it flat. Mash a banana and spread on one half. Top with peanut butter. Drizzle with Maple Syrup. Fold in half and then pan fry in butter.
Oh wait, I use to make that BEFORE MFP! LOL Oh well, it was delicious and didn't need a fancy name like Banana Sushi.0 -

Whats stopping you from making it now?
Well, for starters, I eat a Keto diet, but even if I didn't, I've had to eliminate gluten and dairy from my diet. That said, if I weren't doing Keto and if I weren't sensitive to milk and gluten, I would consider making it on occasion, because for the most part, I do believe everything in moderation.0 -

It's called banter mate.
Yeah I get that...but it is a bit insulting to post this literally around the same time as someone else posts the recipe in the same forum. Just kind of passive aggressive. But yeah maybe I'm being over serious and defending someone who never actually acted insulted. <shrug> gave my thoughts....dont need to dwell.
EDIT: just realized the banana sushi recipe was a resuscitated necro thread posted in 2012 so yeah guess I was defending the honor of a zombie.6 -
Definitely not sushi... Not even close. I'd call it a banana roll up but use this instead to help with the calories.
1 FlatOut wrap - 90 cals
4 tbsp PB2 - 90 cals
1 banana - 120 cals
On top -
1 cup fresh strawberries - 50 cals
1 container greek yogurt - 80 cals
That's 420 calories with over 30g of protein which isn't that bad.
That sounds good, I might try that! I probably would put the Greek Yogurt on the inside of the wrap, leave off the strawberry’s and add some cinnamon on the inside because I like cinnamon. Without the topping it keeps it portable.
Banana Wrap!
(Or how about a Nanarito)

There isnt some sort of moral imperative to post only things that you personally find to be helpful. Yeah, there are things in the world you likely won't find a use for....why is that annoying though?
I'd argue its a bad recipe. Its needlessly complicated, unoriginal, shoddily titled and possibly out of place on a calorie-counting community. I've found it oddly annoying every time I see it as well, some pretentiously smarmy out-of-place enthusiasm radiating from its nauseating list of ingredients.
In its defense, since I don't especially like the fruit+PB combo, and the addition of coconut makes me think of the cloying, scratchy, dehydrating crunch of it in my mouth and the tortilla is just weird (its savory! At least make it a crepe...) every time the thing pops up, it ruins my appetite a bit, which I suppose is helpful in a reductive sort of way when trying to lose weight.4 -

It would be like if I at my local coffee shop happened to see an ad posted on the bulletin board for guitar lessons and my response was to get annoyed because I dont even want guitar lessons. So annoyed that I decide to write a letter about how I dont find guitar lessons to be useful and post it right next to the original post. It's a weird rather narcissistic thing to do.
Aaron have you seen Ricky Gervais recently by any chance? I loved the guitar lesson analogy

Yeah I love Ricky, such a funny clever guy. I knew I had heard and loved that analogy before so I definitely got it from somewhere but I forgot who had said it, not suprised at all if it was Ricky.0 -

Huh well you and I read a different thread then because the one I saw was a mom just throwing out this recipe as an idea that kids might like and I sort of assumed that is what this was about as it was literally right next to this in the forum when I first saw it. Not pretentious at all and rather kindly worded if anything even if you don't like the recipe.

So maybe if you read that you can understand more why I reacted the way I did when I saw this. Also hadn't noticed that post I linked was from 2012 originally.0 -

It's from his Humanity show. My husband and I yell "but I don't want guitar lessons!" every time someone gets all offended about something that is nothing to do with them.

Yeah it probably was where I got it. Just really made me take notice how common that sort of response has become. To see something someone is offering to the public in general and get annoyed by it because you don't personally want it. It is just weird if you think about it.2 -
I've seen it. Didn't click on it as all I'm picturing is banana and raw fish, not really an appetizing combination. Yeah, I have yet to see one advertisement for food that actually sounds good0

Ah man. This was supposed to be fun. It turned out that somebody ressurected a post about these sushi roll things at the same time as I originally posted. I PROMISE this is a coicidence. I didn't even SEE it. I was remarking about a video on MFP and NOT the other post.
I think what might have happened is that after I started this thread, somebody searched for banana sushi (probably someone genuinely interested in the recipe) found the old thread and revived it.
Anyway...nuff said. I guess the party has gone on too long. We started by dancing around and laughing. Now it's 4am, everyone is drunk and somebody has been sick on the coats.
Time to go home folks.11 -

I definitely also meant the glossy post that keep popping up in the MFP home feed (or whatever you call it) not a well-intentioned personal kids recipe. I was also participating in mocking the poor peanut butter banana tortilla in a spirit of joyous exaggeration. Its ok, I leave it. It can live on if it likes.1 -
I just made this up, I swear:
Banana Tacos.
1 Flour Tortilla
1 banana
2 TBSP peanut butter
shredded coconut
Spread peanut butter on one side of tortilla
Slice banana, place slices on top of peanut butter
Sprinkle with shredded coconut
Fold tortilla and eat like a taco
Let me know what you think. I'm working on a variation for a burrito but it's going to require some recipe testing first. Also, banana lasagna.4 -
Would that be lasagnana?5

As you later realized, this thread was in response to an ad or a post in the feed.
But I have a similar reaction you did when someone complains about ads. Ads? What ads? My internet experience has been ad-free for over a decade.
And my brain just edits out the feed.1 -
Best dessert sandwich ever:
- 2 slices sprouted-grain bread
- A sliced banana
- Handful of pitted Medjool dates
- Gobs of almond butter
- 2-4 tablespoons of honey
Directions:
1. Spread a thick layer of almond butter on both slices of bread
2. Arrange slices of banana to cover the almond butter on one slice of bread, and dice up the dates and place them on the other slice of bread
3. Drizzle honey over both slices and assemble into a sandwich
4. Toast on a George Foreman or other sandwich press until toasted, melted, and obey-gooey
No clue as to how many calories would be in this, but I can tell you that this is worth every single one of them!1 -
why dress it up? I just put peanut butter on a spoon in one hand, hold a banana in the other, and then alternate bites. If I really want to fancy it up, I dip the peanut butter spoon in chocolate chips or coconut. I've also been known to sub cookie butter for peanut butter.
Assuming a medium sized banana and one tablespoon of PB, I'm 200 calories all in, plus the chips or coconut if I decide to use it. No prep needed.
. . . That actually sounds amazing. I know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow.0 -
I had a sliced banana in a bowl with chocolate syrup on it. Basics are the best.0
-
I eat this pretty much every day (even before the ad). I use a TJ low carb tortilla and and single serve packet of almond butter and pretty small bananas. No coconut. Love it.0

So basically, you went off half-cocked after not actually reading the original post in this thread. Which clearly talks about a video and describes a different recipe.2
