Food in Jars
I love using my mason jars. From using it to store dry ingredients to packing my lunch in them, the mason jar is so versatile. They’re very easy to clean and sanitize plus mason jars are very cheap to buy in bulk. If you don’t carry a traditional lunch box or you’re looking for something less bulky, a mason jar meal might be just the meal prep for you!
Tips for Making the Best Mason Jar Meals
- wide mouth jars are the easiest to pack food in (here’s an example of one from Amazon)
- if the recipe involves adding hot water to cook, make sure your glass is at room temperature!
- layer the foods! Wet stuff on the bottom of the mason jar, dry things up top
