Healthy Mason Jar Lunch - The Kithcen Skinny

Place the jars in the refrigerator and grab-n-go.  When ready to eat, dump on a plate or bowl and enjoy!

This meal has around:

32 grams of protein (remember RDA for protein is about 46 g for women and 56 g for men)
16 grams of fiber (most Americans barely get 15 grams of fiber in a entire day. RDA is 25 g women/ 38 g men)
20 grams of healthy fats!
650 calories (I eat the whole jar myself, Karen usually can only finish half the jar before she gets full)

Oh and….0 Cholesterol!!!

Give it a try, you might like it!
