All kinds of wraps work. You can easily find low-carb or even gluten-free wraps. I've even flattened a piece of bread and used that when this was requested and I had no wraps on hand.

Storing your PB Banana Wraps
These travel well for a day if they are well-wrapped. The banana does not last longer than a day. Make fresh for the day you'd like to have these. Wrap them securely when they are freshly cut, and the banana won't brown.
It does not freeze well because the banana gets mushy.
