11.Lunch in a Jar
You can pre-make five at once and have lunch all week. Put nuts, grains, protein, and dressing at the bottom of an 8-ounce jar, with veggies and greens on top. Or make a wrap-less burrito with beans, rice, and veggies. Another idea: portion out single-serve smoothie ingredients that are ready to throw in the blender.
12.Stay Organized
Once you have things prepped and packed, don t lose it all in the back of your fridge or freezer. Label each container with the contents and the date. Keep the stuff that s been there longer near the front so you use it first. Put food that goes bad fastest, like herbs and chopped fruit, at eye level so you don t forget about them.
