Happy Peanut Butter and Jelly Day!

I love PB&J.  It regularly makes it into my routine as breakfast, snack and lunch...once it a blue moon, it will even work for supper!  In my house, we have no less than half a dozen jars of peanut butter at any given time.  My sweet MIL makes homemade jelly, so we always have that too.  Makes the best PB&J anywhere.  Of course, my real favorite is PB&B - peanut butter and banana. 

Peanut butter is an awesome food to add to your diet.  It packs in protein, mostly good fats, tons of vitamins and minerals...and it tastes great.  It also makes other things taste great (like veggies and noodles with spicy peanut sauce).  Peanut butter is satisfying, so a little goes a long way toward helping you feel fuller longer.  Two tablespoons is a serving and provides about 190 calories and 8 delicious grams of protein.

I thought on this most auspicious day, it would be fun to share three yummy recipes from around the web to encourage you to celebrate deliciously...enjoy!

PB&J Smoothie from BHG

Gluten-free PB&B Pancakes from Cooking Light

 

 PB&J Overnight Oats from Eating Bird Food

These are all great ways to start your day...of course, around here we have breakfast for supper about once a week, so...yeah.  Happy PB&J Day!  Be healthy!
