Healthy Diet Meal (Menu) Plans

The ingredients are simple, apple slices, honey, peanut butter and bread of course, but there is a reason why I choose each and every ingredient.

• I useArnold Healthy Multi-Grain Bread with this sandwich because there are 4 grams of fiber per slice - a third of the daily value with the complete 2 slices. Also, each slice of bread contains 5 grams of protein. So with just the bread alone, you've already got 10 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber. This bread also has 19 grams of whole grain, no HFCS nor any artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

• As for the peanut butter, I like it CRUNCHY. I go with Skippy Extra Crunchy Natural Super Chunk (I'm not a big fan of the natural peanut butters where you have to stir the oil around ... no stirring here). 2 Tbsp. will give you 7 grams of protein and 2 grams of dietary fiber (although I didn't measure how much I used - I'm pretty sure it was more than 2 tbsps). There is also 17 grams of total fat - so don't be too heavy handed with this.
  
  
• Golden Delicious Apple: I pretty much used the entire apple here... about half of the apple was used in the sandwich and the other half as a side. 4 slices of apple within the sandwich provides for some extra crunch, moisture and sweetness (and another 3 grams of fiber or so).
  

DIRECTIONS
Each slice of bread was drizzled with Sue Bee Honey, then I applied peanut butter over that. Next, 2 apple slices were added to each slice, then more honey and peanut butter. As I mentioned before, I'm sure I used more than just 2 tbsp of peanut butter ... the sandwich is pretty hefty.

As I mentioned before, this is my go-to creation on Sunday late mornings/ early afternoons after a pretty intense morning workout. It's a decent creation for those on a high protein / high fiber diet. And
