It really is that easy. 

  1. Choose your bread. Keep it thin so it rolls easily, such as a whole wheat tortilla, thin pita (split a pita pocket in half) or naan.
  2. Choose your fruit. Banana are the perfect fruit on the go, but strawberries, raspberries or other fruit that's not too juicy or fragile may be on the menu. This is your creation, so make it your way.
  3. Choose your peanut butter. Check the sugar and salt content in your favorite peanut butter or spread to make sure you're staying healthy. Even a little may be too much.

What will you put in your roll-up?
