This past weekend I decided to try something that I’ve been wanting to do for months. Meal prepping in full mason jar style. Safe to say that I’m far from being a master at creating the ultimate mason jar meal, but I have been doing my research. So I thought I would share my 20 favorite mason jar meals and snacks for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The best part is, most of these recipes are relatively healthy! Trying to decide which ones should be tested out this weekend. If you have any suggestions, let me know

Overnight oats combined with yogurt, peanut butter, fresh fruit and granola. Can it get any more breakfast-y than that?
The Classic Acai Bowl by Modern Granola
It’s very likely that you’ve heard of the ever so popular acai bowl trend, so why not make a portable mason jar version. This genius idea combines granola with an acai smoothie and fresh fruit. SO granola!

Quinoa has been all the rage lately, and this preparation is a great way to add sweetness to the seed. With the addition of egg whites and fresh fruit, this to go meal is filling and fun!
Blueberry Pancakes in a Jar by Boy & the Rabbit
Um microwavable blueberry pancakes…can it get easier than that? The blueberries in the bottom of the jar create the extra bit of flavor needed with pancakes, and all it takes is one minute in the microwave!
