Sandee A.'s strawberry bananas are jiggly and genius Jello-y creations. How does she do it? Sandee makes these tasty treats by simply smushing strawberries and sugar into a puree. She then boils this puree, adding a [gelatinous powder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angel-delight-bubble-jelly) called agar-agar. Before the sweet substance has a chance to cool, Sandee pours it into an empty banana peel. The final step is to set the fruit-filled mold aside in a room temperature area and allow the juicy gelatin to set and solidify. When these fruits are finished, the peel can be opened to reveal a scrumptious strawberry banana. Sandee A.'s strawberry bananas are sweet, scrumptious and "berry" "a-peeling!" ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Jello-inspired Food Creations:** Creating innovative and playful food items using Jello and other gelatinous ingredients. - **Fruit-based Desserts:** Developing unique and visually appealing desserts using fruits as the main component. - **Sustainable Food Packaging:** Exploring alternative and eco-friendly materials for packaging food items. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can leverage these trends to develop new and exciting products for consumers. - **Hospitality and Catering:** Restaurants, cafes, and catering businesses can incorporate these fruity desserts in their menu to attract customers. - **Packaging and Material Science:** Companies specializing in packaging and material science can explore sustainable options for food packaging, including fruit skins. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Peelable Banana Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gummy-banana.md) - [Chocolate-Dipped Banana Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolatedipped-banana.md) - [Jiggly Fruit Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiggly-fruit-snacks.md) - [Jammy Ice Cream Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-berries-series.md) - [Superfood Jelly Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-desserts.md) - [Next-Gen Gelatin Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelee.md) - [Tri-Textured Fruit Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-fruit-gel.md) - [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)
