Is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich unhealthy?

Not necessarily. A peanut butter and jelly (PB&J) sandwich can be a nutritious part of a balanced diet. It can provide a good source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. In fact, if made with whole-wheat bread and natural peanut butter, a PB&J sandwich can even be considered a health food. The key is to choose healthy ingredients and to limit the amount of jelly you use.
