Given the fluster over PB&J during the weather delay, what’s the proper amount of jelly?

  1. 1. How much jelly should be on a properly made PB&J?

  2. 2. As a second question - Peanut butter or Almond Butter for you?

The jam/jelly is to give it flavor the main thing they want is the protein.

 

Too much sugar can make them sluggish.

 

At home do as you please but the athletic staff knows whats up.

 

I like mine 80/ peanut butter/20 smuckers strawberry jam on 12 grain bread.

 

I love them so much I pack 2 of them in my lunch for work along with carrots,apples and a banana plus 4 oatmeal raisin cookies and 5 bottles of water.

 

Sometimes its Tuna but 75% of the time it PBJ :)

 

Lunch meat has way to much sodium.

That's the stuff my wife eats. I don't eat sandwiches too often since I retired. I got tired of eating sandwiches for lunch every day for 43 years. I have a loaf of white bread in the freezer in case of emergency. 

i almost never eat sandwiches for lunch anymore either.  i'll get back into it her and there, but it's light stuff typically.  

 

not to swing this in another direction, but i wonder what the feelings are towards the standard cheese sandwich vs the pb&j.  i'll take the cheese sandwich every single time.

Always whole wheat, always smooth peanut butter (Skippy), and the type of Jelly almost makes almost no difference (unless it's like pepper jelly or something not sweet). If it's at home I'll toast the bread.

 

Ratio depends on what it's for. Lunch for work is like 30% jelly.

 

In the middle of a 100 mile bike ride day, the main component is the carbs so I'll go 50% or even 60% Jelly there.

PB&J is a sandwich for children 

 

Who wants to grow up then? I love a PN&J every once and a while.

 Hey, are you trying to derail this thread with meaningless discussion about cheese sandwiches? Stick to the topic.

 

However, bacon in the midst of the cheese in a grilled cheese sandwich is awesome.
