Ever had a Peanut Butter Sandwich Delight? It’s a pretty simple and yet tasty way to have a quick and easy meal! It can be hard to eat healthy when you’re on a tight budget. It may be tempting to just go for what’s cheap, easy, and generally not as healthy. Those comfort foods may make us feel better for a short time but they also don’t hold us out as long. We may end up missing vital nutrients that help sustain our long term health. It’s also a lot easier for our immune systems to fight off infections and viruses if we are getting well rounded nutrition from a balance diet.
This recipe is good for breakfast, lunch, or perhaps just a tasty treat sometime throughout the day. Bananas are full of potassium and other awesome nutrients that help fuel our bodies. They can help control our blood sugars as well by being a source of resistant starch that acts a bit like protein. Bananas are also known to support heart health. And that’s just the start of the healthy ingredients in this meal! So next time you’re looking for something filling that’s easy to make, try this recipe out.
