Peanut Butter-Plus Sandwiches

Half a sandwich makes a great post-exercise snack. Or enjoy a whole sandwich for lunch. Mix up a batch of the spread (it will keep in the refrigerator for several days), and make sandwiches as needed. The filling doubles as a tasty dip with apple wedges or strawberries.

Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1/2 sandwich)

Ingredients

• 3  tablespoons  creamy peanut butter
• 2  tablespoons  honey
• 1  cup  mashed banana (about 1 large)
• 3  tablespoons  golden raisins
• 1  tablespoon  roasted salted sunflower seed kernels
• 8  (1-ounce) slices whole wheat bread

Preparation

Combine peanut butter and honey in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at high for 20 seconds. Stir in banana, raisins, and sunflower seeds. Spread about 1/4 cup peanut butter mixture on each of 4 bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices.
