Rather than having you put together an elaborate snack, this one simply involves coating a banana in some sort of [nut butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-peanut-butter) and sprinkling a few hemp seeds on top for texture. To make chopping easier, Fit Foodie Finds advises freezing the banana sushi whole before cutting. As a great source of fatty acids and protein, the addition of hemp seeds turns what would otherwise be just a banana coated with almond butter into a super snack for both kids and adults. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Healthy Snacking:** The popularity of healthier snacking options such as banana sushi is disrupting the traditional junk food market. - **Simplicity in Recipe Creation:** Creating simple and easy recipes such as Fit Foodie Finds' banana sushi is a new trend in the culinary industry. - **Incorporating Superfoods:** The use of superfoods like hemp seeds in recipes is becoming increasingly popular and presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the health food industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food Industry:** Innovative and healthier snack options such as banana sushi are changing the way consumers think about and purchase food products. - **Nutrition Industry:** There is a growing demand for nutritious and healthy snack options, creating new opportunities for the nutrition industry to capitalize on this trend. - **Fitness Industry:** The incorporation of superfoods in recipes like banana sushi creates opportunities for the fitness industry to promote the health benefits of these foods to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Frozen Chocolate Banana Slices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-frozen-fruit-banana-slices.md) - [Frozen Chocolate Banana Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-chocolate-peanut-butter-banana.md) - [Chocolate-Dipped Banana Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolatedipped-banana.md) - [Baked Banana Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitcrunch-chocolate-banana-flavored-baked-bar.md) - [Dipped Frozen Banana Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-banana-bites.md) - [Plant-Based Sushi Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-sushi-rolls.md) - [Bread-Based Sushi Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doughmakase.md) - [Dark Chocolate Banana Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-chocolate-banana-bites.md) - [Convenient Sushi Bakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-bakes.md)
