I woke up with a Jones for Peanut Butter and Bananas!\u00a0 Imagine that!!!<\/p>\n

My gut reaction to my Jones was to think,” steer away from PB and Bananas; way too many calories.” \u00a0 But, at closer examination,\u00a0 I realized that – when prepared and ingested in moderation – the mighty duo was more than okay.\u00a0 In fact, PB&B is an Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> approved combo!<\/p>\n
