Today we’re bringing you the two must-try DIY ‘recipes in a jar’ that are both healthy and affordable. Moreover, all of the ingredients can be easily sourced locally. So now you can’t make any excuses for why you haven’t made these for yourself or your family yet!

Green Mango Smoothie

Everyone loves mangoes! This is the perfect way you can “cheat” your way towards healthy eating. This mango smoothie comes with a secret. Spinach!

Yes, you heard that right, you don’t have to be Popeye to incorporate spinach into your everyday diet. This way you can have something sweet and stay healthy.

With healthy additives such as oats – healthy in rich antioxidants and fiber and cashews – that have healthy fatty acids and are a good source of protein, you’ll be good to go for the morning!

Keeping in with our ‘recipe in a jar’ theme, you can either serve this DIY Green Mango Smoothie in glass jars you’ve got lying around the house (yay recycling!) or you can serve it the old-fashioned way in glass tumblers.

Ingredients:

  • The pulp of a ripe mango
  • 1 tbsp oats
  • handful of spinach
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 6 cashew nuts
  • ice

Blend Away!

In a blender blend, all the ingredients until smooth and serve chilled.  If you are new to green smoothies, add in just a few spinach leaves and over time you can increase the leafy greens.  Even though the smoothie looks green, it tastes delicious. Serves 2.

Chicken salad

This recipe is perfect for when you’re on the go and can’t be bothered to prepare an elaborate lunch for yourself. Pack this in a glass jar and bring it to work. Then you won’t be tempted to eat fast food that’s probably making you breakout.

Moreover, prepare and store all prep items separately in your fridge and toss and serve whenever you’re in the mood for a light late-night snack.
