So far this chilly and rainy Monday turned out to be a real nice treat...no pun intended...or is it?
For lunch today I decided to venture into the grilled sandwich world. Now as a runner I'm a huge nut butter and banana fan because the combo provides some nice fuel! The combo usually happens before an a.m. long run..usually it's whole wheat toast or an english muffin with a smear of almond butter and a banana on the side...sometimes a honey drizzle if I'm feeling it. Today I moved this delicious combo into the lunchtime slot with a glass of almond milk!
Nuttin' but Bananas Sandwich
- 2 Slices of "Wheaty Wheat" Bread from Avalon Bakery...Use your bread of choice but try and stay rustic and local.
- Trader Joe's almond butter- Smear it on both sides, don't be shy!
(Of course you can use your favorite nut butter..cashew, peanut, sunflower, soy...ummmmm pistachio?)
- Add one diced up banana- Go longways with this, it helps it from falling to pieces.
- Top the banana'd piece of bread with the other piece, and then butter that bread!
(Today I used Earth Balance..I know, it's fake but it is good.)
Toss that baby to a pan over medium heat and grill away. Turn once the bottom is looking toasty and repeat. Remove when it has reached your desired grilledness..
Take a GIANT bite:
Yummmmmmmmy!
Happy Monday!
