Peanut butter and jelly sandwich between two gluten-free arepas

PB&J Arepa Sandwich — Gluten-Free Classic for On-the-Go

June 15, 2026

The most beloved sandwich in America, upgraded. PB&J between two gluten-free arepas travels better than bread, holds its shape, and needs no refrigeration for a few hours — perfect for car rides, sports practice, or anything in between.

Ingredients

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
  • 3 tbsp peanut butter (or sunflower seed butter for nut-free)
  • 2 tbsp strawberry jam or grape jelly

How to Make It

  1. Warm arepas in toaster or dry skillet 1–2 minutes.
  2. Spread peanut butter on one arepa.
  3. Spread jam on the other arepa.
  4. Press together gently.
  5. Wrap in parchment paper. Travels up to 3 hours without refrigeration.

Why It Works

Arepas don't go soggy the way bread does — the PB&J stays put and the arepa holds its structure even after an hour in a bag. Kids know this flavor, love this flavor, and will eat it without negotiation anywhere you go.
