These jars are ideal for limited space, and can travel for up to 4 days tasting just as good as they do on day 1.

They are also high protein, and work well with ingredients you have already in your kitchen.

Perfect for:

• Long duty days
• Multi-day pairings
• Hotel fridges
• Cold galley meals

The Golden Rule: Layer Order Matters

Always layer from bottom (wet) → top (dry)

Bottom: Dressing
Middle: Hard vegetables + protein + grains
Top: Greens + delicate ingredients

This prevents sogginess.
