The PB&J Campaign

Breaking News for 2012

The PB&J Campaign is now an official program of A Well-Fed World.

We'll have fun new t-shirts, aprons, handouts and even some spending money to help cover feed-in food costs. Plus, we'll be donating large jars of peanut butter to food pantries and families in need.

Keep current with us on our PB&J Blog, Facebook and Twitter as we build momentum for the National PB&J Day on April 2nd.

Join us for great things from this highy innovative and incredibly accessible way to eat less meat and share with others.

How it Began

The PB&J Campaign was created by Bernard Brown as a way to protect the environment by reducing the amount of animal products people eat. While beginning as an online campaign, it has grown into a grassroots effort with community outreach events (including AWFW) on PB&J Day (April 2nd) and year-round.

PB&J Variations

Replace jelly with different flavored preserves or whole fruits (such as bananas or apples)
Try different types of nut butters (almond, cashew, hazelnut, and others... There's also great seed butters (sesame, sunflower, and pumpkin).
Update the white bread of yesteryear with whole grain breads, crackers, or use nut and seed butters directly on fruits and vegetables. Want a hearty breakfast... add them to bagels or English muffins.

AWFW Founder's Favorite

I first learned about The PB&J Campaign through our Sustainable Keys Global Grants program--they were one of our first award winners. Since then, we've worked together in a variety of ways and the campaign has also changed my personal food choices.

Now one of my favorite meals or snacks is a peanut butter sandwich with apple on the side. I use an organic, natural peanut butter (smooth not crunchy) on my favorite wheat bread. The peanut butter is high in protein and since it has no added fat (like conventional brands), I consider the fat one of the "good fats." The apple provides additional vitamins and fiber with just the right amount of sweetness. For an added nutritional boost, I add chia seeds (yes, those chia seeds).

So that's my favorite... what's yours? Email pbj@awfw.org and let us know.
