    Peanut butter may just be the world's most perfect food.

    That is all.

    OK if you REAAALLLLY wanna get wild.......... here's what my BFF and I eat before every long run. two slices of 12-grain bread, creamy (yes i said it! creamy!) peanut butter generously spread on one side and lightly on the other. On the generous side, press half of a thinly sliced banana. On the other half, lightly drizzle with honey and then moderately or heavily sprinkle with sunflower kernels. Press that sucka together and there you have it! The pnut butta pah-nana hunny nut power-wich. We :heart: it. We eat that plus a shot of vodka before every run....... (j/k on the vodka, unless it's a night time fun run, otherwise it's a 5-hour energy and a bottle of water).
    BTW I should add that we eat this about an hour and a half to two hours before the run time................

    This actually sounds really good!

    Here's a fun one. My husband used to eat peanut butter and Miracle Whip sandwiches as a kid. I do not allow Miracle Whip in the house, so he is SOL...

    Does the type of peanut butter matter ? Because all I have right now is pure Skippy regular peanut butter and extra crunchy but I say this because skippy has hydrogenated oil and I have heard from alot of people that that is a bad ingredient in peanut butter ?

    1) get some whole wheat bread. preferably fresh.
    2) get some peanut butter. preferably extra crunchy.
    3) get some jelly. preferably grape or strawberry. preserves or jam will work too.
    4) take a single slice of bread and place it on plate.
    5) dip a tablespoon into the peanut butter twice, and each time spread the tablespoon of peanut butter on the slice of bread until completely covered.
    6) take a second piece of bread and hold it in your hand.
    7) dip a tablespoon into the jelly twice, and each time spread the tablespoon of jelly on the new slice of bread until completely covered.
    8) put the piece of bread with jelly on it together with the piece of bread with peanut butter on it such that the jelly and peanut butter are in full contact with each other.
    9) put away the peanut butter, jelly, and bread and clean up after yourself
    10) enjoy.

    :bigsmile:

    Or are my pb dipping skills that universal?

    Oh my gosh.. that looks so good. Im totally going to try that tonight!
    Does it really taste just like a Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich??? Incredible!

    Yes... and foodies can vary the recipe by toasting the bread first.

    This sandwich is upside down. The peanut butter has to be on top!

    OCD?

    I'm usually not OCD at all but it bugs me the Subway makes their subs upside down, and they are supposed to. The meat goes on bottom, veggies on top, not the other way around.

    "Peanut butter contains both good unsaturated fats, and bad saturated fats. Fortunately, the majority of fat in peanut butter is unsaturated. One serving size, or 2 tbsp., of peanut butter provides about 190 total calories and 140 fat calories, or about 16 g of total fat. Of these 16 fat g, about 13 g are from unsaturated fats and 3 g from saturated fats."

    http://www.livestrong.com/article/378181-is-peanut-butter-a-good-fat-or-bad-fat/

    VERDICT --> eat your PB&J sandwich. you'll be fine! :drinker:

    Hydrogenated oil = Trans fat, which you want to avoid at all costs.

    I'm against throwing food away, so I would say, finish the jar you have and then buy peanut butter without any hydrogenated oil in it.
    Best for you are natural peanut butter whose only ingredients are peanuts and eventually salt.

    "a U.S. Department of Agriculture analysis of 13 brands of peanut butter found that the amount of partially hydrogenated oil was so small that trans-fat levels weren’t even detectable. And there’s good reason to keep some peanut butter in your diet: About 80 percent of its fat is the healthful, mono- and polyunsaturated kind."
