Random Willynillyness Cooking Presents: Sabroso Saturday ~ Almond Butter and Banana Grill

Yes I am still on the campaign to promote milk! And today I have a really yummy recipe. When I first saw it, I wasn't sure I would like it. I never tried almond butter but I figured it was just like peanut butter so it might be good.

I again used the 2% organic chocolate milk for this recipe. And can I tell you that I haven't had chocolate milk in forever but now that my recipes require it, I am starting to like it all over again! The other night instead of a hot chocolate, I had warm chocolate milk and it was yummy!

Some interesting facts:• Milk drinkers, in general, consume more calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and vitamin A than non-milk drinkers.
• Flavored milk drinkers have lower intakes of soft drinks compared to those who do not drink flavored milk.
Today's recipe is great for kids and adults. It makes a tasty lunch or snack. The recipe is so easy and even a child could make it. It takes minutes to make and I think you will love it.

I added a little powdered sugar on top to make it look pretty and it was very tasty! I really liked the almond butter. It had a little more sophisticated taste than peanut butter would. And what is great is that this sandwich can also be made with peanut butter as well. You can use any other type of bread as well. It is easy and versatile.

So if you want a quick and tasty snack or lunch, try this delish recipe!!
