Note: This recipe is for anyone following a vegetarian (meat-free) diet.

This is a great sandwich for your lunchbox. It tastes even better with a glass of milk or soy milk.

• measuring spoons

Directions:

1. Spread peanut butter one side of each slice of bread.

3. On the other slice of bread, sprinkle cereal so that it sticks to the peanut butter and covers the bread.
