Inspired
by Elvis Presley's passion for peanut butter and banana sandwiches,
this unique peanut butter sandwich is great for a quick anytime
treat. In this version, pumpkin and peanut butter, two nutrition
powerhouses, blend easily to create a spread without all the
fat and calories of plain peanut butter. Simply spread the light
and creamy pumpkin-peanut butter over whole wheat bread and cover
with banana slices. Even your family will say "thank you
very much"!

Much" Pumpkin Peanut Butter Sandwich
