PBJ and Banana Sandwich

Fiona Haynes
Everyone loves a peanut butter sandwich, but if you're concerned about the fat content, simply limit the amount of peanut butter you use and add some banana for a sweet and delicious, nutritious sandwich. Be sure to serve the sandwich on whole grain bread.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Two slices of whole grain bread
  • 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp all-fruit spread or preserves (I like raspberry)
  • 1/2 one small, ripe banana, sliced

Preparation:

PBJ and Banana Sandwich Two slices of whole grain bread 1 tbsp peanut butter 2 tbsp all-fruit spread or preserves 1/2 one small, ripe banana

Spread one side of bread with peanut butter, and the other with fruit spread/preserves. Add sliced bananas to the peanut butter side and top with fruit-spread side of bread.
