Tuesday

Almond butter sammy

Thought I would post today about a quick protein lunch - the all American favorite -  nut butter sandwich!

1 slice of toasted Brownberry Bread. Either the 12 Grain or Double Fiber. Mine today was the 12 Grain.

1 Tablespoon Woodstock Farms natural almond butter.

2 teaspoons Vlasic dill relish

calories: 200
fat grams: 9.5
carbs: 21.5
sugar: 4
protein: 7.5

The dill relish has no calories, fat or carbs. But it does have lots of salt. But 2 teaspoons is 1/2 a "serving size".

Most of the calories come from the bread (110) and so I'm learning to use just 1 slice of bread for my sandwiches. And you know what? It's just as good. And I save 110 calories that I can to use elsewhere.

UPDATE:
I found an even better bread!
