Flat Belly Mason Jar Salad

 

<<Flat Belly Mason Jar Salads>>

As soon as I saw this flat belly salad posted to the Pop Sugar Website I knew immediately that I wanted to meal prep it in bulk into Mason Jar Salads.

Why? Why would I want to put them in Mason Jars? By storing salads in Mason jars it allows you to prep multiple salads in advance and they stay fresher longer. The salad dressing goes on the bottom. You then stack the ingredients in the order that can withstand the acidic ingredients of the salad dressing. The Mason jar is then topped with the tender lettuce on top.

I did have to make some slight adjustments to the ingredients in the original salad because it would not store well for make ahead salads (i.e. I deleted the avocado).

All of the ingredients in this salad work to fight belly bloat and support a healthy weight loss. Here is the recipe. The ingredients are listed in the order you stack them into the Mason Jar:

1 T Bragg's Healthy Vinaigrette
1/2 cup shredded carrots - fiber for regularity
1/2 cup pineapple - eases digestion
1/2 cup blueberries - helps fight belly fat
1/2 cup cucumbers - helps to flush out digestive system
1T chopped almonds - reduces bloating
1/2 cup chicken breast
1 cup leafy green lettuce

I have pinned this recipe to my Pinterest library so that you can find it in the future. There are also numerous other mason jar salad combinations to try.
