Breakfast in a Jar

Do the work when you are not busy and rushed, so that when you are, you have something ready to grab and go!

 

Breakfast in a Jar is just one technique for setting yourself up for success with healthy living. Being prepared ahead of time is the key! 

Top Tips for building Breakfast in a Jar:

Use a medium-sized mason jar - 12-16oz widemouth works best Mason Jar

  1. Aim for Balance - be sure to include protein, fat, and carbs to ensure proper nutrition. 

  2. When it's time to enjoy your pre-made breakfast, some recipes are just open and eat...and others require some microwaving at mealtime. 

  3. Jars last in the fridge for 3-5 days or as long as the individual ingredients will stay fresh.

  4. Some of our recipes include protein powder. Check out this video to understand WHY I love and it. It’s super helpful to achieve balance in your macronutrients (fat, protein, carbs), while providing convenience and enjoyment.
