Recently a trainer made the comment about how a PB&J was a good post workout snack. How do you make yours?

    100% whole wheat bread, toasted, with natural creamy peanut butter and simply fruit spread. Now I kinda want one for dinner!

    A WWII vet friend of mine recently told me that PB&J and coffee used to be dinner more often than not during the war, I laughed and said that was dinner for me sometimes too.

    Peanut butter on one slice, jam on the other, smack 'em together? :P

    I do use whole wheat bread and homemade jam that I get from a local market, though.
  • I do think it will be my dinner tonight too :)

    Check out PB2...it is AMAZING!!! Plus only 45 cals/serving!! Check out bellplantation.com
    I am a SUPERFAN!! We use it not only to make PB&J sammies....but as an additive in recipes from chili to smoothies!!
    My hubby slaps some between crackers for an afternoon snack!

    I knew a guy who put on a thick layer of butter - BEFORE he put on his thick layer of peanut butter and jam!! I was like - WTF?!
  • Would that make it BPB OR BBP?

    I make it with PB&J, duh.

    I use Natural Jif & reduced sugar jelly. On white bread. To me, PB&Js are not to be messed with too much in terms of what to put on them.

    I set a plate on my weigher, I set the bread on the plate, I set the scale to zero, I put the jelly on, I set the scale to zero, I put the peanut butter on, then I spread the jeppy and the peanut butter and eat it.
