Not all PB&J sandwiches were created nutritionally equal!  Try using these high quality ingredients.PB&J Makeover
Not all PB&J sandwiches were created nutritionally equal. It all depends on the quality of the ingredients that you use. 

If you use white bread, corn syrup-filled peanut butter and refined sugar-filled jelly, the result would be a sandwich that will skyrocket your blood sugar, promotes fat storage and leaves you feeling hungry a short time later. 

However, if you make this recipe...



...with sprouted grain bread, true peanut butter made from one ingredient: peanuts, and fruit preserves that are naturally sweetened with fruit juice rather than sugar, then the result would be a nutritionally dense food that would promote stable blood sugar levels and provide you with hours of sustained energy. 

Servings: 1 
Here’s what you need…
  • Sprouted grain bread
  • 1 Tablespoon pure peanut butter (no added sugar or corn syrup) Just Peanuts
  • 1 Tablespoon natural fruit spread (no added sugar or corn syrup)
  • ½ of a banana, sliced

  1. Spread one piece of bread with peanut butter and the other with fruit spread. Line one side with the sliced bananas and sandwich it.
  2. In a grill pan over medium heat, grill each side until grill marks appear and the sandwich is warmed.
​
Nutritional Analysis: One serving equals: 380 calories, 8.7g fat, 53g carbohydrate, 9g fiber, and 13.2g protein. 
​

​I hope that you get a chance to give this recipe a try. Remember, in your kitchen you can create anything you would like. Use this recipe as a template and if you want, add flavors you like or subtract things you dislike. If you like a recipe, play around with the ingredients and amounts and make it yours! I’m only a call or email away to assist you in all things fitness.
