Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- Honey to drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 slices of whole grain bread, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1/2 cup of sliced strawberries, and honey for drizzling if desired.
- Place the slices of whole grain bread on a clean cutting board or plate.
- Using a butter knife, spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly on one slice of bread. Make sure to cover the entire surface for the best flavor.
- On the second slice of bread, repeat the process by spreading the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly.
- Take the sliced strawberries and evenly distribute them on top of the peanut butter on one of the slices. You can arrange them in a single layer or stack them for a more generous topping.
- If you like, drizzle a small amount of honey over the strawberries to add a touch of sweetness.
- Carefully place the second slice of bread, peanut butter side down, on top of the strawberries to form a sandwich.
- Press down gently to help the sandwich hold together.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwich in half diagonally or into smaller pieces, depending on your preference.
- Your Peanut Butter and Strawberry Snack is now ready to enjoy! Serve it immediately or pack it for a tasty on-the-go treat.
Tips
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, ripe strawberries and natural peanut butter for the best flavor.
- For extra crunch, consider toasting the whole grain bread lightly before assembling the sandwich.
- If you're watching calories, use a thin layer of peanut butter or opt for a low-fat version.
- Experiment with different honey varieties or skip it altogether if you prefer less sweetness.
- For a more gourmet touch, sprinkle some chia seeds or chopped nuts between the strawberries for added texture.
- Make sure your strawberries are patted dry to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
- If preparing in advance, add the strawberries just before eating to maintain the bread's crispness.
- For a protein boost, you can add a light sprinkle of hemp seeds or a thin layer of Greek yogurt.
