Replace the jam with fresh fruit
Many nutritionists recommend eating a slice of bread with peanut butter and fresh fruit instead of jam because they are low in carbs. “When making a PB&J sandwich, ax the jam and jelly, two sources of processed fruit sugar, and mash up fruit like raspberries or banana instead,” said Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN.
In fact, according to medical experts, eating fruits is an excellent way to improve your overall health. Not only do they contain carbohydrates, but also vitamins, minerals and fiber. According to a recent study, people who don’t eat fruits are more likely to develop heart diseases, cancer, inflammation and diabetes.
