Well, Since I made a peanut Butter 'Sushi' bento, I thought the next step would making it PBJ! I haven't eaten Jelly/Jam in a while because of the added sugars, but I found some All Fruit Spreadable Fruit with Fiber and it uses fruit juice as the sweetener. It doesn't have any added refined sugars... Plus it has Fiber! So I tried the Blackberry.
Here is a close up of the PBJ 'Sushi'.
I cut the crust off of two pieces of Udi's GF Omega Flax & Fiber bread, Then I rolled them flat with a rolling pin. I spread one with 1 tsp Teddie Natural Peanut Butter. And I spread the other with the 1 tsp Blackberry All Fruit Spreadable Fruit w/ Fiber. I rolled them up the best I could, and cut them into slices.
Unfortunately the picture isn't that great, but believe me that the blackberry rolls were a pretty purple color.
This turned out to be a very high fiber bento! The whole bento was 11.4g fiber (46% of my daily value). Mostly thanks to the Udi's Omega bread (2 slices for 7g fiber).
Why is fiber important? Well, a diet rich in fiber has many benefits including:
- Lg Strawberry
- 10 Blueberries
- 4 Blackberries
- 1/4 Cup Rice Chex
- 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce w/ Cinnamon
- PBJ 'Sushi' (See Below)
