Motivational Monday's (2/11/19) - LUNCH, LUNCH, LUNCH!

Another Monday another recipe coming at you! 

Lets talks LUNCH! Lunch, is usually ALWAYS that meal in question. It's the meal in the middle of the day, the meal that you sometimes forget to eat OR make those less than optimal quick/fast food choices because all of a sudden you are starving and have nothing else with you. Whether it be because you are running errands, tirelessly working, driving the kids around etc.etc. we need to right away get rid of those excuses! That being said, it is ALWAYS good idea to have a delicious & nutritious "grab and go" lunch! Especially on those days where you do not have easy access to a microwave for your leftovers from dinner the night before... 

Enter the handy dandy, "Mason Jar Salad"! Below are four different ridiculously amazing salad recipes that you can EASILY weight, measure & pre-pack the night before to take with you for those days you are on the run! Large mason jars (16oz) can be found anywhere, Walmart, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Amazon! Pick one up and save your mental state, along with those macros and micros! No longer will you be caught empty or red handed (i.e making poor choices) !
