Salad in a Jar

Hey friend! It's Jill here. 

I'm just about to sit down for lunch and guess what it is? 

SALAD IN A JAR! 

Yesterday, I invited my friend Necia from @popupfitness to teach us the tips and tricks of making salad in a jar because we know one of the biggest hurdles for women getting nourishing meals on the tables and their bodies is planning and prep.  

We recorded the tutorial LIVE on facebook and you can view it on our Facebook page HERE and I've attached the recipes below.
