Commentary:
I love this recipe and eat PB&J sandwiches often. These sandwiches taste great and are very easy to prepare. These sandwiches are also cheap and healthy because they are made with:
- 100% stone ground whole wheat bread - the "stone ground" part is very important. It ensures y0u are getting all of the health benefits associated with whole grains
- Natural peanut butter - filled with "good" heart healthy fats and no added sugar
- Low Sugar Jelly - made with fruits, without all of the added sugar found in regular jelly or jam
If you are going to make these regularly, you should invest in a natural peanut butter mixer, such as this one.
