EASY Ball Jar Rueben

I'm all about EASY and prepping things ahead so I can grab and go in less the 5 mins when I need to have MOM lunch! I'm always looking for ways to JAR THINGS up and keep it simple! This recipe is it!! You will need to pick your choice of roasted protein! If you want to keep it easy grab a rotisserie chicken or organic turkey lunchmeat! I like to roast Organic turkey breast in olive oil & thousand island. Or grill up some Chicken. Even marinate some Tofu or tempeh then grill that up!

What you need:

5 Wide mouth 16oz Ball Jars w/ lids

2 bags of coleslaw mix
1 bag of purple shredded cabbage

Olive Oil 

Garlic powder

Sea salt 

Organic Thousand Island dressing 

Shredded Mozzarella cheese

TOASTED whole wheat toast

Or a bed of romaine lettuce 

CHOICE of protein

1- Set the oven to 400, pour and lay out the 3 packages of cabbage on roasting trays, drizzle olive oil
over them, mix and shake garlic powder and sea salt over it. Set timer for 10 mins
and check on it and mix it around. Then roast again till ends start to carmelize and turn slightly brown!

2-Load the jars with ¼ cup-½ cup of your chopped cooked protein on the bottom of the jar,
then layer the rest of the jar with the cooked cabbage. Let cool before adding the lids.

3- when ready to eat, toast bread (or put romaine lettuce on plate) and heat jar.
When jar is ready dump on top of toast, add some shredded cheese and drizzle with
thousand island dressing! 

Blueberry Chia Seed Compote

Blueberry Chia Compote (Makes 5-9 servings)
2 cups organic blueberries 3 ripe organic pears 2 organic apples 3 1⁄4 cups water OR unsweetened coconut milk 1 1/2 cups chia seeds 1 cup of almond flour 1/2 cup almond slivers for top
Drizzle agave or honey across top 1st time you make it. Cinnamon to taste- suggested 1⁄2 tsp can add cardamom, nutmeg, cloves too (all great for digestion)
Add the blueberries and chopped pears,apples and let simmer for 8-10 minutes in a pot of water with cinnamon and honey.
Remove pot from heat, pour into lasagna pan and add chia seeds and almond flour by sprinkling evenly and stir frequently. Let sit so the chia seeds expand and absorb some of the water/milk. You can serve warm or refrigerate. The blueberry pear apple chia compote can also be frozen so feel free to make large batches!


I Love to make a big batch of this and have a big bowl for breakfast each day! The KIDS love it!
