Some days, especially ones where we are living though a pandemic, you need some comfort food. Something that is just going to warm you on the inside and lift your mood. Even something a little bit naughty and this toasted sandwich delivers on all of the above.
It may be to start your day off on a high, get a lunchtime pick me up or even a tasty treat for dinner. But, whichever it is this banana, peanut butter and syrup toasted sandwich will deliver that comfort food hit you crave.
Why? Not just because of its lovely taste but also because bananas contain tryptophan. Tryptophan is a protein that your body converts naturally into serotonin. Serotonin helps you to relax, improve your mood, and make you feel happier.
Plus, the syrup will give you an instance sugar based lift and the peanut butter a longer release of energy.
