Hola! I'm a PBJ junkie so any advice on the healthiest peanut butters, jams/jellies, and bread to use will be much appreciated.

What do you put in your peanut butter and jelly sandwich? :-)

    I usually get an organic peanut butter and jelly with wheat or rye bread. Sometimes I do no added sugar jelly as well. Depends on how many calories I want to use


    Peanut Butter - Justin's
    Jelly - Smucker's Concord Grape Organic :)

    Oh, yes please! I still have to have one every great once in a while. I make them with 100% whole wheat bread, all natural peanut butter (no HFCS or partially hydrogenated oils), and no sugar added jelly. Still comes out tasting pretty good.

    Peanut Butter and Co.'s White Chocolate Wonderful. Delicious, healthier then regular peanut butter and I can't live without it. Ever since I started eating the Peanut Butter and Co brand I can no longer stand the taste of "regular" peanut butter. All I taste is oil when I eat normal ones.

    I prefer toast with peanut butter over a sandwich since I like it warm! :heart:

    Also, now I'm going to have the Peanut Butter Jelly Time song in my head all day! ACK :sad: lol

    I use weight watchers whole wheat bread, PB2 (a defatted peanut flour product that you reconstitute) and sugar free splenda jelly Polaner is selling now. It's 135 calories vs. 400 for a PBJ with a standard whole wheat bread, real peanut butter and real jelly.

    Thank you, thank you!

    I was sitting here eating my lovely PBJ sandwich for lunch filled with creamy Peter Pan pb and sugar filled Smuckers strawberry jam and realized I should ask all you awesome people how to make it healthier. I'll be hitting up the grocery store this weekend to look for some of these products.

    Happy Friday!

    2 tablespoons peanut butter
    2 tablespoons grape jelly
    2 cups vanilla ice cream
    ¼ cup milk

    •Blend ingredients until smooth and thick
    •Add additional peanut butter or jelly to taste

    From http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2011/03/bring-in-march-with-a-milk-moustache-and-a-pbj-smile/

    Amazingly good. So not good for you, though.

    I love a peanut butter and brown sugar sandwich (regular brown sugar has 15 calories per tsp. which is less than the Splenda brown sugar).

    I use the Laura Scudder's all natural peanut butter

    Hey there, I'm new to posting so sorry for my late reply, but I read your question initially the other day which got me jonesing for PB&J really bad! Here's what satisfies for me: any low-fat, low cal bread (either a 100cal sandwich thin, Sara Lee 45 calories and delightful which is 90 cals for two slices, or a low fat Nutrigrain Eggo waffle which is 70 cals for one) with one tbsp Better N Peanut Better (50 cals 1 g fat, at Trader Joe's or amazon.com) and and one tbsp Trader Joe's Cranberry Apple Butter (20 cals, 0 fat). I like it with a cup of light vanilla Silk soymilk (70 cal). Not the most nutritious meal ever, but certainly not the most calorically dense when you're craving PB&J.
