"Thank You Very Much" Pumpkin Peanut Butter Sandwich
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"!
