BACK TO RESULTS \\ Diet & Nutrition Recipes Grilled Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon jelly

Preparation

  1. Spread the peanut butter and jelly on the bread, and place bread together. Butter the outside of the bread.
  2. Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Grill the sandwich until lightly browned on both sides.

Helpful hints

  • If preferred use margarine instead of butter.
  • Any flavor jelly is acceptable.Serve with carrot sticks and apple slices.
  • Select low-sodium peanut butter to reduce sodium to 350 mg.
  • Peanut butter is a high potassium, high phosphorus ingredient but still works in a kidney diet as a substitute for meat. Portion control is important. 
  • Additional phosphate binder may be required if eaten as a snack—check with your renal dietitian.
