fold over

These Peanut Butter Banana Honey Fold-Overs are a new favorite at the Bowman household.  My 3 girls have simply HAD IT with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and were delighted to find something different in their lunch box.  I love that I found something just as easy to make as a sandwich, tastes amazing & is healthy to boot!

I’ve made peanut butter honey chia rollups before, but these fold-overs have gone over much better with my kids.  They are easier to make, too.  Instead of chia being sprinkled inside, these tortillas have chia AND flax in them — thank you Trader Joes!  It is so hard to find a store – bought tortilla that does not have hydrogenated oils or tons of preservatives in them.  I have searched high and low with little luck, until shopping at Trader Joes.  These stay quite soft and chewy which my girls love.

I just recently started homeschooling my middle girl, 13-year-old Colsie, so now I am down to making just 2 lunches a day.  To make 2 of these Peanut Butter Banana Fold-Overs, I use one banana, sliced.

I simply spread a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter in the middle, then use raw honey on the sides which serves perfectly as the ‘glue’ to hold these fold-overs together.  I slice 1/2 a banana, arrange the slices in the middle to fit on top of the peanut butter, the fold the two honeyed sides into the middle.  The banana stays nice and secure in the middle, and does not turn all icky and brown.

If sliced in half, they fit perfectly in our favorite Sistema lunch cube.  If you have never seen these cubes you are missing out.  They have made packing lunches almost fun…almost…packing lunches is never my favorite chore. Read more about the lunch cubes in my Best Way To Pack A Lunch Post.

Don’t limit these to just lunches!  They make a great breakfast or after-school snack.
