In my quest to eat better, one of the hardest things for me is lunch! It’s a lot of work to plan ahead in order to pack lunches. It’s even harder to try and think of healthy things to pack. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen the solution I found to this problem — Mason Jar Salads!
Just search them on Pinterest and you will find loads of ideas and recipes! The nice thing about these salads is that you can put together all of your lunches for the week quickly and easily. Each morning, you can grab one on the way to work. So simple!
Today I’m sharing one trick that will make Mason Jar Salads even easier to throw together! Instead of buying all the ingredients separately, buy salad kits!
Depending on the size of the kit, you only need to buy one or two for the week. So for $3 to $6, you have all of your lunches for the week! It saves so much money because you don’t have to buy all the lettuce, veggies, fruit, cheese and salad dressing separate.
Using a salad kit also saves time because you don’t have to chop up all the veggies. Plus, there are lots of different kits to try, so you can have a different salad each week.
Do you need some some mason jars? I know I need to get some more! One of the best deals I’ve found on them is to order them from on Amazon.com!

What is one thing you can’t live without? One thing I can’t live without is a shaken iced Passion tea from Starbucks. And ice cream. Just kidding (kind of)….I’d say that something I really really can’t live without is other people! I’m a total people person. I like my alone time, but don’t like to be by myself for too long!

Great idea. I am always looking for a speedy way to eat a healthy lunch at work.
Jenna Brussee says
This couldn’t be easier! I love that you can add the salad dressing, too, instead of having it separate. Otherwise I would probably forget it!

Smart tip. Makes prepping meals for the week easier.
Jenna Brussee says
It is a great meal to make ahead! They taste just as fresh later in the week.

I think I’ll be trying this on my hubby. He tends to eat worse at lunch because I’m unprepared for him to take anything, so these salads will be perfect. Thanks for sharing your trick, Jenna!
Jenna Brussee says
They definitely helped me eat better at lunch time. I hope he likes them!

I really do need to start making my own salad jars for the week. It would make life much easier, especially eat healthily. Thanks for the inspiration!
Jenna Brussee says
It does make life easier! I love not having to think about packing anything in the morning, I just grab a salad from the fridge and go.
