I didn’t like any breakfast, anything,” Obama admitted on the podcast.
“We had big breakfasts because my brother, he’s a growing athlete.
So it was everything.
Cereal, followed by scrambled or fried eggs, followed by lots of toast and bacon and link sausage.
But every now and then we’d get the patty sausage.
So breakfast was big.
I didn’t like bacon.
I hated eggs.”
So what did she eat at the start of every morning?
“I didn’t like bacon, sausage, all of the breakfast food,” Obama said.
“So what did I eat?
Peanut butter and jelly.
Every morning until I went to college.”
She further described the compromise she made with her mom that helped her enjoy this sandwich every single morning.
“I really like peanut butter and jelly.
“Nothing’s wrong with bread.
If we’re having toast, why can’t I have it in a sandwich form?
Everybody was having jelly on their toast.
Let me just put it on my peanut butter.
A peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole-grain bread can be a nutritious meal.
