Pb and J Hummus Ingredients

3/4 cup Chickpeas, canned - about 1/2 a can	1/2 teaspoon Splenda - to taste
1/4 cup Peanut butter - Reduced fat version is best	1/4 cup Fruit Spread, sugar free I had raspberry on hand
1/4 cup Apple juice - unsweetened	2 rounds low Carb Pita bread
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon - ground

Instructions for Pb and J Hummus

Rinse and drain the chickpeas then drop them in a blender. Add peanut butter, cinnamon and Splenda. Blend briefly then add apple juice while blending to a smooth, slightly runny, consistancy. Scrape out into a bowl.

Place 2 Tbs of fruit spread on 1/2 of the surface of the bowl and stir briefly. You're not mixing two together so much as bringing a swirl of fruit through the hummus. Repeat with the remaining 2 Tbs of fruit spread. For an interesting visual effect try two different flavors (colors) of fruit spread and place them in a pattern before swirling.

Lightly toast (actually just warm) the pita bread and cut rounds into 1/8ths. Serve with hummus.
