PB & J....With a healthy twist.

So I have been craving a PB & j. I am allowed a cheat meal every week however I don't think I want to use that on just one sandwich. So I have been trying to work it out.

So today I toasted up some ezekiel break and I spread on some sun butter. Now I am not a huge organic person. Simply because I can't afford to buy all organic foods. But when I can I try and get some organic items. I went with the organic sun butter. Simply because there is only 30 mg of sodium compared to 120 I think it was of the non organic.  I may be off on that but it was much higher.  Since I am trying to decrease salt because of my bp I went with the less. It also only has 5 G of carbs compared to 7 of other. Not a huge difference but still less.

My only issue was finding a jelly or jam. Right next to my sun butter was Crofters super fruit spread. 8 total carbs and 5 sodium. Not bad. Compared to 13 and 15 in the Welches in my fridge. There were 4 different ones and I plan on trying them all. I choose however raspberries, yumberries, morello cherries and red grapes. And it's delicious. There are chunks of fruit in the spread. So I used that and the sun butter on my sprouted bread and yum! 

It definitely was not a normal pb& j. But definitely helped the craving and was so yummy!

Happy healthy eating!!!
