PB&M Sandwich: Our Family’s Go-To Peanut Butter (and microgreen) Sandwich
At our house, peanut butter sandwiches are a regular snack. Quick, easy, and something the kids can make themselves without much fuss - but of course, ours has microgreens hidden inside!
Instead of jelly, we use apple slices. We started doing this a while ago because we've tried to move away from refined sugar wherever we can. Apples not only add just the right amount of sweetness, but they also give the sandwich a great crunchy texture. But the kids have their own twist on it - they stir in one serving (just 1/8 teaspoon) of MiracleMicrogreens powder right into the peanut butter before they spread it.
One of their favorite things to do is make these sandwiches when friends come over. As they proudly serve, our kids love revealing the secret - that their friends have a sandwich packed with veggies in front of them. Their friends usually don't believe it, and it's super fun to watch the surprise. Keep in mind, sadly the VAST majority of their friends would push away almost any veggie we add to the plate, but they always love the sandwiches, without fail.
It’s a simple, practical way we found to get veggies into a snack without any drama. Give it a shot at your house, and if your kids try the PB&M sandwich, please let us know what they think - and what their friends have to say about it!
