You might think we’re talking about those sad shaker salads from Whole Foods, but these homemade versions are way more scrumptious, and pretty much have no limits.
Create the creative mason jar recipes of your dreams based off any of these!
1. Deconstructed Lasagna in a Jar
Lasagna is usually a time consuming comfort food that many long for, but most don’t have the energy after an 8 hour day. This mini version has more layers you can dig through, with a creamy, extra cheesy pesto surprise at the bottom.
2. Zucchini Pasta Salad With Avocado Spinach Dressing in a Jar
This flavor-packed dish is also a nutritional powerhouse. Adding blended avocado to a dressing makes it unbelievably creamy, and blends well with the noodles which are actually made of zucchini, which ensures that the noodles never get soggy.
3. Caprese Pasta Salad in a Jar
Pasta in a jar can sound pretty sad, with sauce making the noodles all mushy. But using the fresh ingredients of a caprese lets the noodles hold on to their al dente nature, working in perfect harmony with mozzarella and tomato.
4. Strawberry Feta Salad
This healthy dessert can be an after-dinner treat, or breakfast. The sweetness comes from natural berries, and the tapioca-like nature of chia seeds when they’re in a pudding. A great energy booster.
13. Oatmeal in a Jar
This is a lot of folks’ go-to breakfast, and there are endless sweet or savory variations you can make. Let the mix soak in your fridge over night for the most robust flavors.
14. Mud Pie in a Jar
This glorious masterpiece comes from just smashing a bunch of Oreos in a ziplock bag, and adding most of the contents from a hot fudge sundae, with a coffee surprise. Probably the most decadent of all the jars on this list.
