Guiltless PB&J

Pin It

Yep, I said it... guiltless.  Thank the heavens above for this one, because if you're like me, you're salivating when making your husband's lunch, because this sandwich is just too classically irresistible!  And of course he gets extra PB and gobs of J!  So, I thought I'd take a stab at a version that I can feel good about eating myself.  This here is one tasty little snack :)

Serves: 1

Calories: 145 (without optional ingredients)

Ingredients:

2 slices Sara Lee 45 Calories and Delightful 100% Whole Wheat Bread

2 Tbsp PB2 w/ 1 Tbsp water to reconstitute
1/2 Tbsp Truvia

1-2 Tbsp Smuckers Sugar Free Preserves (depending on PB to J ratio you prefer ;) )

Vanilla protein powder (optional)

Directions:

In a small bowl, reconstitute your PB2, according to the directions on the package, and mix the Truvia w/the PB2 .  Then, happily spread your peanut butter and jelly onto your bread (yes I said bread), smack both sides together, and inhale!  I mean.. savor ;) 

**Whenever I've needed to make this a more protein packed "meal", I've added some vanilla protein powder to the PB2 when reconstituting... yum-o!
