 Ingredients:

  • 1 banana
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 apple
  • 1 (7-inch) round piece whole-wheat pita bread

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

1. Peel the banana and mash it in a bowl with the back of a spoon or pastry blender.
2. Add peanut butter; stirring well to combine.
3. Core, peel and chop apple.
4. Cut pita bread in half, spread peanut butter mixture inside each half and fill with chopped apple.


Helpful Hints:

Pita bread came to America from the Middle East. The bread is often cut in half and pulled apart to form two “pockets.” Meat or vegetables are then stuffed into the pocket to make a sandwich. Pita bread also can be used as pizza crust.

Safety Tip:

Pita bread can be cut in half with kitchen scissors, a small knife or pizza cutter. Remember to use a clean cutting board when cutting the bread in half and chopping apples. Always peel or cut away from yourself.
