I used to meal prep all the time when I was in nursing school full time.

It was the only way I could A. Save money and B. Remember to eat something other than pop tarts.

One of the simplest things to make are salads.  You just chop up a bunch of veggies, toss them together and throw in some salad dressing.

But we all know that half the fun of food is the presentation.

That’s why I love mason jar salads.  It just makes eating a salad seem so fancy.

And you don’t need to run out and purchase mason jars.  Just reuse some of your glass containers. All they need is a good wash in the dishwasher and they are good to go. They also work great for smoothies in the summer.

One Action You Can Take Now:

Find an old glass container and put it to use. Just look in your fridge, I know you have a Prego jar in there from that time you invited your besties over for dinner and the latest episode of Scandal.
