PB&J Makeover

8-31-2014
Not all PB&J sandwiches were created nutritionally equal. It all depends on the quality of the ingredients that you use.

If you use white bread, corn syrup-filled peanut butter and refined sugar-filled jelly, the result would be a sandwich that will skyrocket your blood sugar, promotes fat storage and leaves you feeling hungry a short time later.

However, if you make this recipe, with sprouted grain bread or gluten free bread, wholesome sunflower butter, raw honey and some cinnamon then the result would be a nutritionally dense food that would promote stable blood sugar levels and provide you with hours of sustained energy.

Servings: 1

Here’s what you need:
Sprouted grain bread or gluten free bread (try Paleo Bread)
1-2 Tablespoons of sunflower butter (there is generally a small amount of added sugar)
1 Tablespoon of raw honey
Dash of cinnamon
Spread one piece of bread with sunflower butter and cinnamon, the other with raw honey and sandwich it.
In a grill pan over medium heat, grill each side until grill marks appear and the sandwich is warmed.
