17 Ridiculously Healthy (And Delicious!) Meals You Can Make In A Mason Jar
It’s no secret that Americans have a problem with portion control. We’re the land of the free, home of the super-size-me option, and all-you-can-eat buffets. But according to the Mayo Clinic, tracking your portion sizes can be the key to losing weight and keeping it off. In an effort to help you out, we’ve found some meals that aren’t only healthy and delicious, they’re perfectly packaged in mason jars so you’re not tempted to overeat or ask for seconds!
1. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day — you can make this one overnight.
2. If you’re more into eggs, make this tasty frittata in the oven.
3. This gluten-free mac and cheese is guilt-free, too.
4. Then again, it’d be tough to turn down this pumpkin mac and cheese.
