PB-n-BP (Peanut Butter and Baby food Puree) Sandwich

My boys liked to snack on PB and J sandwiches and I wanted to add extra nutrition to their sandwiches so I thought of using baby food puree instead of high fructose corn syrup-loaded jelly. Hence, the birth of my new PB-n-BP sandwich. At first I was a little skeptical about whether or not they will eat it, since baby food puree isn't nearly as sweet as jelly, but I was pleasantly surprised that my baby actually liked it...Woo Hoo :)

It is a super simple snack/meal to whip up, with just 3 ingredients

You can either lay on the peanut butter first, then the baby puree, or the other way around. I've tried it both ways and I personally prefer lathering the baby puree onto the bread first.
Here is what it looks like when you put the peanut butter on first:

If the peanut butter goes on first, it makes it a little harder to spread on the puree. And it doesn't stick to the sandwich as much. When you take a bite out of it, the puree can sometimes flow out of the sandwich, which I think is a waste because the whole idea of this is to get more veggies in their little tummies rather than on their fingers or wipes.

When you put the puree first, the bread absorbs the puree, making it moist (which I absolutely love), and the puree won't go wasted.

In the picture I used Gerber's banana carrot mango baby food puree but you can technically use any fruit-veggie puree blend of your choice. I used the fruit and veggie mix to add a little sweetness from the fruit, plus and extra dose of veggies.
