Ditch sugary jelly or jam for fresh blackberries with this healthy PB&J sandwich. With a pinch of cardamom in the nut butter, it’s a welcome upgrade to this childhood favorite.

Mixed with the nutty, rich taste of almond butter or smooth peanut, and paired with the sweet-tart tang of blackberries, well, we’d tell you how next-level it is but our mouths are too full of the next bite. You butter try this recipe!
