Eating healthy on-the-go can be really hard. Most quick food options these days are high in fat, high in sugar, and are overall unhealthy. Amy Monk brings us a quick and easy recipe we can make at the beginning of the week and grab-and-go as we head out the door.
The recipe below has an easy and simple dressing recipe that you can make but if you'd prefer a premade dressing, make sure to read the food label to stay away from high fat dressings with lots of added sugar.
With summer upon us, you can make layered jar salads with whatever vegetables you have access to! Make sure to have a source of protein and to add lots of different colors! Enjoy!
