You like Peanut Butter and Jelly?
A peanut butter and jelly sandwich on multi-grain bread is a great source of nutrients for your body! A quick and easy peanut butter sandwich is healthier, by far, than a fast food burger or fried chicken dinner and far better than, let's say, an equally easy "meal" of chips or ice cream. That's because peanut butter offers health-protective mono- and polyunsaturated oil.
If you are a hungry athlete who needs 3,000 or more calories a day, you can spend a significant amount of money fueling yourself (especially if you routinely eat protein bars, weight gain shakes and other engineered sports foods).
What is Peanut Butter exactly?
Peanut butter is a food paste made primarily from roasted peanuts
It is popular throughout the world and is also manufactured in some emerging markets. Its primary use is as a sandwich spread.
Similar peanut pastes are popular in various cultures. In South Indian cooking, chili peppers are added to make a spicy variant of peanut paste. In Andhra Pradesh, India, peanut chutney is popular. In this variation, peanuts are ground and mixed with chili peppers and other ingredients.
In some types of gourmet peanut butter, chocolate or other ingredients may be added. Various nut butters are also made from other nuts.

The peanut butter and jelly sandwich
peanut butter and jam
The peanut butter and jelly sandwich, (PB&J), also known as a peanut butter and jam sandwich in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, is a sandwich that includes a layer of peanut butter and either jelly or jam on bread, commonly between two slices, but sometimes eaten open-faced, that is, with peanut butter and jam or jelly on each of two slices, eaten without putting the two slices together and without folding each slice of bread. The sandwich has the advantage that it does not contain any perishable ingredients, so it does not require refrigeration in hot weather, making it suitable for lunch bags. The peanut butter and jelly sandwich is very popular with both adults and children in the US and Canada. A 2002 survey showed the average American will have eaten 1,500 of the sandwiches before graduating from high school. Jars of pre-mixed peanut butter and jelly are commercially available for making these sandwiches.

I like both. However, one of my favorite peanut butter sandwiches is: PB with slices of dill pickle and slices of onion - no jelly.

Gosh, I prefer peanut butter plain (with milk of course). But if I had to choose Jelly or Honey, I'd go with apply butter jelly. Is that really considered a jelly?

Susan52 says:
I love it with jelly, but I often settle for a quick squirt of honey or Chef Keem's Agasweet! (No, he doesn't pay me to advertise!)

Honey

Honey!

tandemonimom says:
Ooh, it depends entirely on my mood! But probably my mood swings to honey more often than jelly. Sometimes I mix them up and eat PB-H straight from the spoon! (Maybe with a sprinkle of chocolate chips for good measure!)

This peanut butter is a really, really great choice! It has greatly reduced and preferable sugars used in its production and yet has a wonderful peanutty taste!! I would say that the lack of extra sugar actually makes the peanut taste much stronger and more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this peanut butter to EVERY peanut butter lover!! The price on it as sold here is highly comparable to store brands and who doesn't need to try to reduce the sugars in their diets??? MOMS - really think about this item for your household and for your kids!!!

- My son is a vegetarian and all he eats is PB&J. I'm talking at least two sandwiches a day. Sometimes it just PB and sometimes he has me mix honey in the PB. My husband really was worried about his eating habits so I took him to the doctor to ask him about it. He told me that it was good for him. He said as long as he gets his veggies and fruit in there (and he does because he's vegetarian), the doctor said it was totally healthy. The protein alone is great for him. He's a little on the skinny side so the fat was never an issue. PB is good for you. It really is. Great lens!! Love your stuff!

- My real favorite jam is my own homemade plum jam but strawberry will do in a pinch. I'd like to try that peanut butter mixer. That's the one drawback to organic and non hydrogenated nut butters, it's hard to mix up.
