Quickie... Post-run peanutella pita

So you've just ran 6 miles at memorial park, you come home hungry and you need to get ready for the next item on Saturday's agenda. Let's face it people, you don't always have time for a full stack of Buffalo Grille wheat pancakes filled with ___(madlid: fruit) after your run even though I wish I did. So what do you do to recover from the run and curve off hunger until dinner? I turn to the good old standby, the peanutella pita.

I can never eat a whole pack 6-8 pack of pita when I get a hummus craving for a day or two. I'll throw the left overs in the freezer for a later day. Just need to thaw it out for 20 seconds in the mi-cro-wave. A good zip lock and sucking the air out will help them stay in better shape in the freezer.

Ingredients:
1 6,8 or 10" whole wheat pita
2 tbsp nutella
2 tbsp natural peanut butter (I have skippy natural creamy but use what you like)

1-2 servings depending on the size of the pita

Spread half on the pita with nutella, the other half with peanut butter and stick together. Fold again if you like for easier handling while you head to the shower.

Here's the damage. I've taken note that this hits the post-workout 4 to 1 carb to protein ratio recommended by a trainer at the gym, most effectively absorbed if eaten with 45 minutes of your hard workout. Calories: 530, Total fat: 28g, 7g sat fat, Carbs: 61g, Sugar: 25g, Fiber: 9g, Protein: 15g.

Next Saturday, tie on your Asics, hit the trails and refuel with the peanutella pita.
