Ugh… Back-to-school is coming up which is definitely a bittersweet time of year for me. I love having my mini-me around during the summer to plan and do all the fun things together. It’s been a good summer so far. Light and easy, just like this Kid-Friendly Zucchini Sushi!

Unlike traditional sushi, this is completely a kid centric style. You won’t find any raw seafood here. Nope! Just meat, cheese, carrots, and a zucchini shell. These little Kid-Friendly Zucchini Sushi bites are perfect for lunch boxes and finger-food snack or lunch plates.

They certainly don’t have to be just for the kids though. I’ve been eating these for a couple of days now for lunch. Served with a small side of some ranch dressing for dipping and maybe a few baked chips. Whats better is that these cute ‘sushi’ bites are easy to make and rather adorable, if I do say so myself.

The best part though? They’re super low-carb and can be made ahead of time. Up to 3 days ahead of time! Which means you can almost have a full week worth of lunches ready for yourself or your kiddo in the matter of just a few minutes.

Not a fan of zucchini? Try this out with cucumber or even a low sodium pickle!

As a side note, I found that the best way to cut the middles out of the zucchini was to use a small round cookie cutter or the tall cap off of some bottle. A knife or a spoon would work in a pinch though.
