Peanut Butter & Jelly, not just delicious, but also healthy
​
​
Many people think of peanut butter as just a snack.
​
Once many people get to high school, they avoid eating PB & J sandwiches because they think it is unhealthy.
​
However, they couldn’t be more wrong. According to Marge Perry, PB & J contains fiber and protein that help the body run to the best of its ability. Surprisingly, peanut butter on whole wheat bread supplies people with an amazing amount of protein and other nutrients that help the body maintain peak performance levels.
​
Not to mention, the taste of peanut butter is amazing. The best is when its scooped on a spoon and licked off like a lollipop. It’s even better when it fills you up because of how much protein and fiber it contains.
​
Instead of going for a bag of potato chips, grab a PB & J sandwich and get all the healthy components needed to gain more energy. It’s even worth having it for breakfast because it will keep you full for a longer period of time.
​
