Mmmm...

My new obsession is peanut butter & banana sandwiches. This isn't really "new," since I've adored them since childhood, but I recently rediscovered them at my gym. You see, I've been running to the gym (about 2 minutes from my office) during lunch to avoid the resolution hanger-ons and to get a quick endorphin boost to power through the afternoon. One day I forgot to bring a lunch on which to feast upon my return to the office, so I breezed through the gym's cafe looking for something something to nosh. I stumbled across a freshly made PB&B, and I was hooked. The ladies at the Dowd are happy to make one for me if there isn't one in the fridge waiting, and I have found that a PB&B is the perfect post-workout snack. The fat, carbs and protein are in great proportions to aid recovering muscles and are all low enough on the glycemic index to prevent crashes later. It's always a good thing when my favorite meal is beneficial to me too!
