One of my favorite lunches is cottage cheese with fruit. When I started eating healthier, I ate a mix of Greek yogurt and cottage cheese with the fruit. One day, I was out of everything except almond butter, Greek Yogurt and cottage cheese for lunch. I was out of fruit too(fresh, frozen, and canned). I did have some blueberry all fruit jam. I used that and thought, almond butter? I tried it and have added it most of the time ever since.I have used both peanut and almond butter. Both are good, but I usually opt for almond butter, since it's healthier. Try it and let me know if you like it.

How To Make dee's pb&j good 4 you lunch

  • 1
    Put all ingredients in a small bowl and stir together. When I first made this, I didn't add the banana or the fresh berries becaause I didn't have them. Since that, I usually add them, or at least the extra berries. The peanut or almond butter thickens the mixture and gives it an unusual but yummy flavor. Enjoy!
