TIP OF THE DAY: Trail Mix Peanut Butter Sandwich
|
We love this nut-tricious snack idea: An open-face peanut butter sandwich topped with trail mix. Use whole wheat toast: whole wheat for extra nutrition and toast for extra crunchiness. Cut into squares for easier snacking. Our beverage of choice: a glass of nonfat milk. Open face sandwich on whole wheat toast, a layer of smooth peanut butter and a layer of trail mix. The recipe concept comes from Lee Zalben, proprietor of the restaurant Peanut Butter & Co. in New York City. He’s developed a different PB sandwich recipe for every day of the year—and for more than one year. You can see all of his creative of ideas online at the Nutropolitan Museum Of Art. MAKE YOUR OWN TRAIL MIX You don’t need ready-made trail mix: Make your own using the nuts, seeds, raisins and other dried fruits you already have” |

After you’ve made trail mix, use it on everything from cereal toppers to ice cream, pudding and yogurt garnishes to baked goods ingredients (mix into brownie, cake and cookie batter). Do you have a signature trail mix ingredient or favorite combination? Pleas share!
