1 c. cold skim milk
1 (4 serving size) package banana crème fat-free sugar-free instant pudding & pie filling
1/4 c. Simply Jif® Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 c. chopped ripe banana
1/2 c. chopped fresh strawberries, drained
1/2 c. chopped pineapple, drained
Ground cinnamon
Fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

Cut bread into slightly angled 1/4 wide slices. Brown slices on both sides under broiler.

Whisk together milk and pudding mix until lump-free.

Add peanut butter mixing until well combined. Just before serving, combine fruit.

Spread a scant tablespoon of pudding mixture on each bruschetta; top with 1 tablespoon of mixed fruit. Garnish with a sprinkling of cinnamon; serve immediately.
