Kinda embarrassing, but I actually only just got into the whole PB&J concept. Been in this country for like 7 years now, so yeaahh.
Well that combination really is so good – sweet and salty definitely is not overrated.
Unfortunately all those store bough jams have way too much sugar in them and are just not worth the calories.
So this high protein jam was my hack for a sugar free strawberry jam that’s sweetened with protein powder instead. Perfect alternative for the regular version, and actually healthy because this recipe has collagen powder in it too!
