Current Image


Bored with the same old sandwich at lunch? Liven up packed lunches with this Thai-influenced pita pocket: a surprising blend of fruits, spinach, and peanut sauce tucked in a very portable pita pocket.


Ingredients

  • 1 can tropical fruit salad in 100% juice (15 ounces)
  • 4 whole-grain pita pockets
  • 4 cups fresh spinach (torn)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

  1. In a colander over a bowl, drain fruit salad well; reserve 3 tablespoons juice.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together reserved juice, peanut butter, cream cheese, and soy sauce.
  3. Place drained fruit, spinach, and cilantro (if desired) in a bowl; mix gently.
  4. Add sauce and toss.
  5. Slice a small portion off each pita. Tuck the slice inside the bottom of the pita.
  6. Fill each pita pocket with the fruit-spinach mixture.
  7. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Will keep well overnight.
