Breadless Peanut Butter & Chia Jam Sandwiches

If I had to pick one meal to have for the rest of my life it would probably be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Is it practical? No. Is it the most nutrient-dense food? Nope. But is it tasty, satisfying, and nostalgic? Yes, yes, yes!

You know I have to healthify everything possible, and a PB&J is no exception. With the addition of collagen peptides, this favorite of mine now has a spot in my healthy and easy recipes for lunch. If you enjoy a simple sandwich as much as I do, you’re going to love this elevated version of one. It’s decadent, delicious, and good for you, too!

Protein-Packed And Slimming? Sign Me Up!

There’s nothing better than healthy lunch options that also satisfy your sweet and savory cravings. This breadless peanut butter and chia jam sandwich recipe is packed with protein, including collagen peptides. If you’re not sold on collagen yet, what are you waiting for!? It’s the easiest way to add protein to your diet.

Protein isn’t just for dropping weight and improving muscle tone. Those are my favorite benefits, but there are so many more. Did you know that having an adequate amount of protein per day can help increase metabolism and reduce unwanted cravings? It’s the snap-of-your-fingers fix to late-night snacking and dropping stubborn fat. Plus, it’s the best time-tested anti-aging secret. Our skin is made up of amino acids, a.k.a. protein. By supplementing our diet with protein, particularly collagen, we can improve the elasticity and firmness of our skin. Super Youth collagen has been a game-changer for my sisters, mom, and I. 

Whenever I come up with new easy recipes for lunch, I make sure it’s packed with protein. Lean animal protein and collagen peptides are the best way to get quality protein into your diet. Try increasing your protein intake for a week and see how incredible you feel! This healthy take on a pb&j is a great way to get started. Eating chicken breast multiple times a day isn’t always fun, so it’s important to sprinkle in tasty, healthy recipes like this one to keep you going strong. Try it out and let me know what you think!
