Need a new, school-safe, brain-building sandwich option? I’ve got you! Seeds are packed with healthy fats, fiber, and micronutrients important for brain function, and this seed butter sandwich travels well in packed lunches. Seeds are also not among the top allergenic foods (with the exception of sesame seeds), which makes them school-safe, even in schools that do not allow nuts or sesame. Keep added sugars low and increase the nutrient and fiber content by using smashed raspberries instead of jam or jelly!

If you enjoyed this recipe, I'd really appreciate it if you could take a moment to rate it and leave a comment. Your feedback helps others discover my recipes and articles. Thanks!
