Who doesn't love a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? It's a staple for me. I eat one of these open-faced versions for dessert sometimes. In this post I show you a healthier way to indulge in the classic pb&j sandwich. No oils, no refined sugar, no white flour, but all of the yumminess still in tact!
🎵First you take the jelly and you spread it... you spread it... you spread it, spread it, spread it...Peanut! Peanut butter (and jelly!)🎵
Does anyone remember that song from elementary school? Anyways... here are my *very* similar instructions:
1. Find a peanut butter WITHOUT added oil, salt, and sugar. You're still getting the amazing nutty flavor WITHOUT added calories and not-so-good-for-you ingredients! Click on this sentence for an example of a plain salt-free oil-free sugar-free (SOS-Free) peanut butter.
2. Find a jam that does not have added refined sugar. This is something you can find now at most supermarkets. I love the brand St. Dalfour, click here to open a link!
3. I recommend using Ezekiel low-sodium bread. This bread is completely SOS-free and made with wonderful whole grain ingredients! I think it's the healthiest bread on the market and it can be found in the freezer section of most grocery stores.
4. Top your elevated open-faced PB&J's with fresh fruit and berries! I have used banana, strawberry, blueberry, and raspberries to top mine! They look gorgeous and they're so satisfying to eat.
