The Best Pre-Workout Sandwich…Ever???

Ok, I’m not going to make the above statement. But I have certainly concocted a sandwich that must be pretty close.

We’re all familiar with the health benefits and hunger satisfaction of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We all know the same about a peanut butter and banana sandwich. So what do you get when you put these two recipes together…and throw in some blueberries? Quite possibly, the best pre-workout sandwich ever.

Peanut butter has about 4 grams of protein per tablespoon. Although it’s fairly high in fat, it mostly contains the mono-and polyunsaturated kinds (which are good for you). In addition, it also is high in minerals such as magnesium and zinc, as well as fiber and Vitamin E.

Bananas are fairly high in phosphorous and magnesium and very high in Vitamin C and potassium, a nutrient no weight lifter can get enough of.

Blueberries are one of the most healthy fruits on the planet. Incredibly high in antioxidants and fiber, blueberries should be consumed on a daily basis. Finding another way to enjoy them is always a plus.

Now if I can just think of a better name for it than a “Peanut butter and banana and jelly sandwich with blueberries.”

Take Away: I recommend this sandwich an hour or so before working out because of the energy it provides, the health benefits, and it tastes amazing! This is a cheap, easy meal that anyone can and should prepare.
