Does anyone here love PBJ as much as i do? would you consider it a "healthy" snack? i eat it on wheat bread and i will use reduced fat peanut butter unless i get it at work but i use regular jelly. i have yet to try the reduced sugar jelly.

i have an obsession with peanut butter and honey on melbatoast. I consider melbatoast to be healthy along with the low fat peanut butter, and the honey is a good sub for sugar.
it helps to fulfil my sweet cravings. in moderation of course
yummm0 -
@vitty...in moderation of course...is once a day acceptable...
I have this uncontrollable love for pb and j...LOL!
maybe instead of looking at pb and j as healthy we should look at the whole day...did we go over sugar, cal, fat, sodium...if not...i think i would call it a healthy day...what do you think?0 -
It's a perfectly acceptable snack/meal. Honestly, I don't bother with reduced fat/sugar for peanut butter or jelly b/c there's just more chemicals added to do that. If you want to try to save a few calories/added sugar, you can use fresh berries or other fruit instead of jelly. I love love love peanut butter in a pita with fresh sliced strawberries or blackberries!0

I'm eating it right now . I love it because it fills me and takes away my craving for something sweet. Also, it's only a 240 calorie lunch.0

Love Peanut Butter. Had me some this morning.0

I LOVE me some PB&J.....what I don't love is the 450 calories that go with it. I have it every now and then though, kind of like a treat. Moderation is the key.0

I LOVE PBJ. I have not given it up at all. I have one for breakfast everyday. Orawheat HealthFull Bread, Skippy Natural Super Chunk, and Polaner Sugar Free with Fiber (the apricot is my favorite). Perfect breakfast.0

PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!
One of my favorite sandwiches.0 -
@curvykin78 Have you tried using lowcal bread? Sara Lee 100% Whole Wheat with Honey is only 45 calories. I prefer Great Value 100% Whole Wheat(Walmart brand). It's 50 calories a slice and its $2 cheaper .0

I love love love PBJs, but yeah I hate all the calories. What I do is make my own sugar free jam. If you'd like I can share the recipe. The jam comes out to about 10 calories per sandwich.0

BigAlfrn!......PEA-NUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!!! I normally eat mine on Very Thin White bread so I can keep the cals as low as possible and not cut any of the PB&J from the equation.0
