Cut it into bite-sized pieces for a fun twist on the classic PB&J banana sandwich.
- Peanut Butter, Banana, and Honey: Take your sandwich to the next level by swapping strawberry jelly for honey. Spread peanut butter and jelly on the bread, then add sliced bananas. Drizzle honey over the bananas before closing the sandwich.
