This snack tho…omg too good. FYI this is the healthy alternative to a PB and J. I used almond butter hence the title “AB and J” because 1. Almond butter is way better for you and 2. Peanut butter is straight up fattening. Also, to cut the bread out use an apple instead, it’s full of fiber and amazingness. If you have a lil craving of just a sweet ol PB and J… try this, you won’t regret it.
