Ian's PB& Dr. J. . minus the J
This is Super simple and SO TASTY!
What you need. .
Bread of choice, whole grain wheat, protein bread, Keto friendly, Italian, etc. . .
Honey peanut butter. . or if you don't have that, plain peanut butter and a drizzle of some organic raw honey will do!
Berries!! blueberries, raspberries, stawberries, blackberries. . whatever berries tickle your tastebuds!
That's it!
How to send it. . .
Spread that peanut butter on that bread! I prefer putting a little on both slices to keep the berrie juice from soaking through the bread
Drizzle the honey lightly on one or both sides
Add the berries OR you could smash up or chop the berries and spread it on
One slice on top of the other and. . .
. . . YUM! Just what the Dr. Ordered!
This is a great sweet snack after a long day of riding. I love this sandwich because not too long ago I literally spent about 30 minutes trying to find the healthiest jam or jelly I could at the store. GOOD GRIEF! There was either added sugars, a sweetner I didn't like. I will not be buying jelly anymore!
The Basics
Veggies with hummus- A great light snack with only .2 grams of saturated fat per tablespoon in the hummus. We all know veggies are great for us and won't weigh you down! I usually bring along a combination of carrots, celery, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, and sometimes zuchinni or yellow squash
Fresh fruit! Oranges are a great snack during or after the ride because they have potassium, natural carbs, the better kind. Lots of vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, fiber, and vitamin B6. There's even protein, but less than 1 gram. Berries and apples are a couple of our other favorites.
Awwee Nuts!
One cup of mixed nuts contains: 27 grams of protein, 847 mg of potassium, 9 g of dietary fiber, Iron, Vitamin B6, Magnesium, and Calcium
The Downside is that they are a little higher in saturated fat about 12 g and contain about 28g of carbs, 6 g of sugars, 7mg of sodium unless you get the ones with added salt then you're looking at about 40mg
Jerky or Jerky Snack Sticks: There are way too many kinds but our favorite snack stick, I purchase off of Darkrunjerky.com The original flavored snack sticks that are made by a brand called Weavers. I will never eat a greasy nasty slim jim ever again!
Hard Boiled Eggs: This is an excellent source of protein for before and after your ride or workout! Forget those sweetened protein bars, well, most of the time, haha. :P
Tuna: I like to add a hardboiled egg or two to my tuna, along with some chopped up celery and/or radishes, I use about a tsp or less of Miracle Whip. Low carb it with Celery logs, or just shovel it in your mouthpiece as is. :D
