- 3 tablespoons softened cream cheese for a tangy twist,
- 3 tablespoons Nutella for that rich, chocolatey flavor.
½ cup chopped peanuts

2 tablespoons crushed freeze-dried strawberries (for topping)

Add the Banana: Place the banana at one end of the tortilla and roll it up snugly. You want that banana wrapped cozy, think burrito-style!
Secure the Roll: Spread the remaining tablespoon of your chosen spread on top of the rolled tortilla to create a sticky surface for the toppings.
Top It Off: Sprinkle chopped peanuts, freeze-dried strawberries, or shredded coconut on top of the roll. This is where you can get creative, be as generous as you like!
Slice and Serve: Finally, slice the roll into 1-inch pieces and serve with chopsticks for a fun twist! I mean, who doesn’t love a little bit of flair?
