Ingredients

• 4 medium slices whole grain or gluten-free bread
• 4 tablespoons raw almond butter
• 2 ripe bananas, sliced
• 2 tablespoons dried goji berries
• Pinch ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• Pinch cayenne pepper
• Pinch sea salt
• 2 medium Fuji or Pink Lady apples, chopped
• 1/8 dried chipotle pepper, soaked to soften

Instructions

1. For the sandwich: Take the bread slices and arrange them on a large plate or cutting board. Slather the almond butter, using 1 tablespoon per slice of bread. Layer the banana slices on top of the almond butter. Then shake a few goji berries on top and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon. Leave each sandwich open-faced (without a slice of bread on top).
2. For the spread: Process the cherries, vinegar, lemon juice, cayenne, salt, apples and chipotle in a food processor until slightly smooth with a bit of chunky texture, 15 seconds. Drizzle the spread on top of the open-faced sandwiches in an artful fashion. Serve immediately.
