PB&J is one of those sandwiches that just screams "love-handles". At-least for me. I think that's because I have an unhealthy obsession with peanut butter, and love to smoother my sandwiches in it. Yes, I once bout 20 pounds of PB2 just so I wouldn't have to worry about running out. With a few substitutions PB&J can actually be a very low-calorie snack. That's good news for me because I can never just eat one sandwich.
If you try this peanut butter and jelly, don't forget to snap a pic and tag it #thedietchef
