This is one of my favorite snacks.
A single slice of Nature’s Own 12 Grain Bread, a serving (35g) of Naturally More Peanut Butter w/ Flax, and 1 tsp of apple butter or pumpkin butter. The sandwich without the apple/pumpkin butter is 250 calories, 25g carbs, and 14g protein. 1 tsp of apple butter or pumpkin butter adds another 30 cals and 8g carbs.
If I’m craving something sweet at night, often this is what I’ll fix. Sometimes I fix this to take to work with me as a mid-morning snack. And often the sandwich without the preserves is my pre-workout snack – it’s a great mix of carbs and protein.
Mostly it’s just really yummy. And it makes me feel a little bit like a kid again.

There is something inherently comforting about snacks like these.
One of my favorites lately has been a piece of nature’s own 100% whole wheat bread, natural crunchy peanut butter, a couple slices of granny smith apple and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
It’s also great with cinnamon raisin Ezekiel bread….but unfortunately I can’t afford the $8 a loaf for Ezekiel bread

I love Ezekiel bread, but I’m like you – the idea of $8 a loaf is a bit much. I keep thinking I might try making my own. Someday.
