What is your favorite version of the nostalgic PB&J sandwich?

I prefer creamy peanut butter with grape or strawberry jam on sliced bread! Delish...

    I'm a crunchy pb with strawberry jam kind of gal. Sometimes I get nutty and like peanut butter, honey and banana or apple slices. YUM! I LOVE peanut butter I don't care what anyone else tries to say about it. Almond butter just isn't the same.

    I'm so disappointed that I did not know this. I love PB & J and would have had one today in honor of this glorious day. In order to make it healthier I have been toasting an Arnold multi-grain bread thin and spreading each with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter and Wegman's sugar free jelly. That is my breakfast treat on the weekends. Yum.

    I agree - Almond Butter doesn't compare!

    Does the sugar free have that "sugar free" after taste? I have never tried it.

    Your version sounds healthier with sugar free jam, whole wheat bread and almond milk! I'm terrible because when I eat PBJ's I like to eat potato chips on the side to balance salt with the sweetness of the jam! Probably not an ideal MFP meal plan! HA

    I like to add a banana or sliced apples with cinnamon and am always open to experimenting with pbjs. Truly a marvelous sandwich.

    I love to get a nutty flavored bread and toast it with some peanut butter spread on top! I'll usually pair this with another piece of toast topped with jelly. I'm also a fan of peanut butter banana smoothies:)

    No after taste at all.
