Peanut chutney ....Sandard PB and J alternative

Bored of the standard American breakfast, PB and J? Try a couple of these alternatives with toast for variety. My kids love them too ....and they are healthy. Double whammy!
 Peanut butter is very nutritious...High in calories but nutritious. Couple of ideas to include Peanut but reduce the sugar. I am not a big fan of the sweet-salty taste, plus I like to mix it up. Nothing more boring that eating the same thing everyday...And variety is fun especially when you are trying to eat healthy.
