You’re looking at the components of one of my favorite sandwiches these days. I was going to say one of my favorite “healthy sandwiches,” but the truth of the matter is, it’s one of my favorite sandwiches, period. The fact that it’s healthy just makes me feel better about eating them.
I’ve given up a lot of processed meats, so I’m eating more peanut butter than ever. In fact, given the fact that I use peanut butter in homemade granola bars and in smoothies as well as on sandwiches means I’m buying more peanut butter than ever before. That’s okay with me, I love the stuff!
Planters NUT-rition Peanut Butter comes in three flavors: Cinnamon Raisin Granola Peanut Butter (the one I was sent to review), Berry Nut, and Banana Granola Nut. I can’t wait to try the other two – if they’re as good as the Cinnamon Raisin Granola, I’ll be one happy peanut butter eater.
In addition to eating this healthy peanut butter (with layers of great, wholesome flavor) on wheat bread, I’ve also enjoyed it on Ritz Crackers, on toasted pita wedges, and on apple wedges. YUM! It’s great as a peanut butter sandwich all by itself or with sliced bananas and drizzled honey added for extra nutrition.
Planters NUT-rition Peanut Butter(any variety) would be IDEAL for healthy school lunches. Along with a little soup or fruit, these peanut butter sandwiches aren’t just healthy and delicious – they keep you full for hours. That’s one of the things I love most about peanut butter, it stays with you and keeps you from mindless snacking between meals.
You can find these fun new peanut butters in your favorite grocery store. I hope you’ll give them each a try – I know you’ll be as pleasantly surprised as I am. Who knew peanut butter could be so hip?!
