Sammy of the Week : PB & Sweet Pickle Sammy

Posted on by

Another simple sammy this week – just slice up your Sweet Gherkin pickles either lengthwise (like above) or horizontally (like below) and layer them onto your all-natural chunky or creamy Krema PB!  This top photo was taken from ABC’s website when this PB & Sweet Pickle Sammy was featured on Good Morning America.  Except they used white bread (gasp!) and store brand PB (double gasp!)  I of course only recommend Krema PB and a natural, high fructose corn syrup-free whole wheat bread!

But, to each his own I guess :-)

Oh yes, and I just loved this photo…Its a Happy PB & Jelly & Pickle Sammy!!  How cool is this??

Have a great Wednesday!

PB & B Shot Shake

Posted on by

Mmmm…I just finished this off : a Peanut Butter and banana shot shake.  Try it!IMG_0259

Ingredients :
1 ripe organic banana
1/2 cup all-natural Krema Crunchy PB
1 T. organic raw honey
1/3 c. organic low-fat yogurt
1/4 c. almond or soy milk
1 T. wheat germ

I put all of these healthy ingredient together first, and then whipped up this tasty treat in my Magic Bullet (thanks mom!) in less than 2 minutes!  Wow!  IMG_0250The crunchy peanut chunks from the PB were almost completely smoothed out in the process so don’t worry that you’ll be drinking your shake and start choking on a peanut!IMG_0251 Not quite large enough for a full meal replacement – but just the right size to fix that PB craving!  I think I added extra PB so my shake was thick enough to spoon it into my mouth….ahhh….a good shot of PB & banana works wonders!  I think I’ve become slightly addicted to the delicious combination ;-) IMG_0255

Sammy of the Week : PB & BlueAgaveBerry

Posted on by

This sammy idea came to me in the kitchen as I was trying to decide how to incorporate my fresh, organic blueberries into my lunch, so voila!  Here you go… :o

First make your own ‘BlueAgaveBerry’ sauce by gently warm up 1 cup of blueberries either in a broiler or microwave until they are just bubbling.  Put them in a bowl and smash them up with a fork, then stir in 1 1/2 tsp. Organic Raw Blue Agave (see my review below).  Spread 3/4 cup of Krema all-natural PB onto whole wheat bread and pour the ‘BlueAgaveBerry’ on top!  And yes, I totally made that word up.  Its a combination of two incredible ingredients; blue agave nectar and blueberries. pb bb smashThen I added some overly ripe banana slices and another piece of bread to close it off.  I just LOVE it when my PB sammy’s are warm and gooey :-) pb bb smash

This sammy is so fabulous because every component is a single ingredient product!  (besides the bread ;) )  Krema PB: peanuts, Blue Agave: agave nectar, Blueberries & Bananas! Who needs blueberry jam in a jar full of high-fructose corn syrup (GASP!) and other yucky additives and fillers when you can smash up your own fresh blueberries and add a little natural sweetener (or not) and get better tasting and much better for you results?  Honestly!  Yet another reason why I love Krema and Crazy Richard’s PB.  Its ALL-NATURAL!  Why add unnecessary junk (like salt, trans-fats, hydrogenated oils and refined sugar) to a perfect product Mother Nature worked so hard to create?  Try this.  Its healthy, SIMPLE and delicious ;-)

Product Review : Wholesome Sweeteners – Organic Raw Blue Agave
Made from the nectar extracted from the core of the Blue Agave plant, this sweetener is awesome.  It won’t crystallize, it dissolves easily and though it is 25% sweeter than sugar, its flavor is non-threatening and not overpowering.  The glycemic index is 39 or less so it would be great for people who have to watch their blood sugar.  I’ve used it on fresh fruit, in dressings, desserts, baked goods and in my tea as a sugar or honey substitute.  This company also offers other flavors and syrups and sugars which I’ll blog about another time.  But my new ‘BlueAgaveBerry’ sauce was incredible!!  (according to me anyways ; -))

Posted on by

I know this is not a new recipe per say – but I still thought I’d share how my daughter and I spent our afternoon snack-time together today!ants on a log

We made “Ants on a Log” with our fresh, organic celery that I picked up today from my share in a local organic buying club (which I totally love btw ;) ).ants on a log

What we did :
washed and cut celery
smothered on Krema PB (crunchy for me – creamy for her)
placed the ‘ants’ on the log!  (we used a mixture of raisins, dried cranberries, cherries and blueberries)ants on a log
This was a fun mommy daughter activity with great results : happy tummys full of yummy, nutritious snacks packed with all-natural protein (Krema PB), fresh veggies, and fruit!
