Tart cherry & banana sleep smoothie

Cherries are one of the richest known sources of melatonin, the sleep hormone that recent studies have shown can also help reverse the effects of aging, while bananas contain loads of magnesium, a calming mineral. Lastly, soy milk is high in tryptophan, the sleep-inducing amino acid. 

Ingredients
  • 1 cup tart cherry juice 
  • 1/2 banana 
  • 1/2 cup soy milk or 4-6 oz soy yogurt (if using soy yogurt, add an additional 1/2 cup fat-free milk) 
  • 5 ice cubes 
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract 

Directions
Combine the cherry juice, banana, milk or yogurt with fat-free milk, ice and vanilla in a blender. Blend until smooth.

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Banana 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.



Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
  • 4 slices whole wheat or white bread
  • 1 medium banana, cut into 1/4-inch slices
Directions
COMBINE pumpkin and peanut butter in small bowl until well blended. Makes 1 cup.

SPREAD 1 tablespoon pumpkin peanut butter spread on each slice. Top two slices with banana slices. Top each with second slice of bread to make sandwiches.

REFRIGERATE leftover pumpkin peanut butter spread in tightly covered container for up to 5 days.

TIP: Sandwiches can also be made with pita bread, English muffins or tortillas. The pumpkin peanut butter spread is also good on crackers or with celery sticks.

Makes 2 sandwiches
