Peanut-Butter-Banana & Avocado-Tomato Sandwiches

Peanut-Butter-Banana Sandwich

Avocado-Tomato Sandwich

Both of these sandwiches have been fail-proof for long hikes and camping trips. They hold up well on long trips, plus they’re tasty and nutritious.

Peanut-Butter-Banana:
When my husband and I went on our first camping trip together, all we brought for food was a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, bananas, and raisins. Being peanut butter and banana lovers, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I wouldn’t recommend eating solely PB-Banana sandwiches for days upon end, but we survived! 😉
We now bring a variety of food when we camp, but PBB Sammies are always included on the menu.

Super simple guys, and variations are welcome.
Let’s start with the basics:
*Whole Wheat Bread
*Peanut Butter (you can easily make your own- follow my plain pb or sweet pb recipes)
*Bananas
*Raisins (usually)

Add or substitute other ingredients– give it a little flare:
Apple, thin slices
Dates
Berries
Celery– I’m not crazy…
Cinnamon
Cocoa powder
Almond butter, Sunflower seed butter
Jelly/Jam
Maple Syrup drizzle
Chocolate sauce (recipe here)

Avocado-Tomato Sandwich:

This is a creation of my husband’s… avocado and tomato sandwiches. We used to eat them in college from time to time because they were tasty and simple- bread with avocado and tomato. As tasteless as that might sound to some of you, it’s actually delicious. Simplifying meals can be so rewarding because you discover a joy in the natural flavors of wholesome foods!

Sometimes we mix it up and will throw on some extra veggies, or even some balsamic vinaigrette. Since we were camping and had lots of produce to go through, I added some fresh basil leaves, romaine lettuce, and chopped onion. No sauce like a boss ^_^

The essentials:

*Whole Wheat Bread

*Avocado, sliced or mashed

*Tomato

You can add whatever you’d like or have on hand:

lettuce, onions, sprouts, bell peppers, basil, cilantro, cucumber, sauce, seasonings, the list goes on…

Now, go hike a hill and bring a sammy!
