A new take on the traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich

On a recent sick day I caught an episode of Dr. Oz and was inspired by something I saw: a peanut butter sandwich that featured sliced strawberries in place of jelly or jam! I've heard of peanut butter and banana sandwiches, but as I'm still learning to like raw banana, it's not something I eat. For a healthier take on the traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich, try starting with 100% whole wheat or whole grain bread (aim for one with, per slice: 70 or fewer calories, fewer than 200 mg of sodium, and 2 grams or more of fiber) and all natural peanut butter, then add either sliced strawberries or sliced banana instead of jelly or jam. Can't say goodbye to the jiggly stuff just yet? Try using Polaner All Fruit 100% All Natural Fruit Spread. My favorite is seedless raspberry.
