Hello! How’s it going?
Thank you to everyone who chimed in on the Sports Bra chafing post. Love when we can help each other out and it feels like a community up in RER land
This morning I ran and ate. It’s my thing. My run was just okay, I think my legs are still tired a little from Sunday’s 20.
Yesterday I was scraping the bottom of the hummus container when I decided to center lunch around this deliciousness.
Anyone who’s been reading healthy lifestyle blogs or Pinterest for 12 minutes has seen the infamous “Oats in a Jar” aka OIAJ. This is the best way to scrape the delicious nut butter from the bottom of the jar! Bless it.
But that is so 2012.
Or maybe it’s 2013 when I made that delicious Overnight Mang-Oats recipe that rocked. I should make that again soon…
Anyway.
It’s all about Salad in a Sabra up in here. I buy the Sabra containers from Costco so they are a great size to pack with veggies and protein and nuts and what-have-you and make a meal!
In other news… I can’t stop putting NuNaturals Chocolate syrup on everything.
Speaking of… email me if you won the Nu Naturals Giveaway! There were 5 winners but only 2 people emailed me their name and address. Send it to runeatrepeat at gmail
And Vegas barfed on my comforter so I don’t like him today.
The end.
Best thing of the world: This baby seal hitching a ride on a surf board.
Question: Have you made oats in a jar?
Salad in a jar?
Pie in a jar?
Lindsay is Broke says
I have an embarrassing number of almost-gone PB jars in my fridge… :X I love this SIAJ business, and it’s an excuse to eat a Costco sized bucket of hummus, right?
Anne says
Like your out of the box — or was that jar — thinking!
Ashley says
I’d love a salad in a jar FOLLOWED BY a pie in a jar. Yup that sounds perfect.
Sue says
OIAJ – definitely and I usually make it overnight oats so I can have a cold brekkie after hot/warm morning runs.
Joanna @ the knitlit twit says
I’ve done oatmeal in a jar, and I’ve also baked cupcakes in jars, so I could send them to someone ; )
runeatrepeat says
Cupcakes?! Can I please have one 🙂
Kayla says
Love making salad in a jar because they travel well. I really like Cuppow lunchbox adapters for my mason jars so I can keep dressing up at the top, or hummus, or yogurt, or whatever the heck I want to dump in or keep in baby bowl jail.
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
I haven’t made anything in a jar yet, but I keep meaning to try some oats in a jar. It sounds like a good idea!
Micah @ Unabashedly Me says
I love “oats in a jar” or as I like to call them “overnight oats.” My favorite combination is probably bananas, oats, almond milk, crushed graham crackers and a little honey. So good!
runeatrepeat says
Crushed graham crackers are my favorite.
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties says
ooooh salad in a jar is brilliant! I try to keep away from hummus (so good but kinda expensive, boo) BUUUUUT maybe I will have to break that rule to try this 🙂
runeatrepeat says
If you have access to Costco get it there – it’s like the price of the small one but for a jug of it!
Amanda Perry @ Sistas of Strength says
Oats in a jar…YES. I can’t stop. I have them probably 5x a week right now. I’m in love and get a little sad when they are gone.
Salad in a jar…NO. I have clients who love it, but I haven’t had any trouble with salad in a tuppeware or a bowl so I’ve stuck with it. ha
Linda @ Fit Fed and Happy says
Haha I volunteer to take their place if they don’t claim the prize!!
runeatrepeat says
Email me your info and if they don’t contact me I’ll see if I can get you a prize 🙂
Cheri @ Overactive Blogger says
My cat puked on our comforter once when I was out of town and I had to come back from my fab time in PA to wash the blankets like a million times to get it out. Grr.
Cindy says
Oatmeal and granola in a jar absolutely. Salad or pie just strikes me as making pretty for Instagram or Pinterest. I need 3 and sometimes 4 containers for salad so my soggy bits don’t touch my crispy stuff and the dressing goes on the side.
Susan says
I think I’ve only had BIAJ. You know….Booze In A Jar. Isn’t that what those mason jars are for?
runeatrepeat says
I love you.
Margarita (CupcakeCardio.com) says
Might be so 2012 but I love Diane Sanfilippo’s Banana Vanilla Bean N’oatmeal. It’s delish.
Natalie @ Never Serious Blog says
Somehow I’ve made it my whole life without making anything in a jar. That needs to change ASAP! 🙂
Kimberly says
I love SIAJ – it’s my go to weekday lunch! It will keep for several days in the fridge so I usually make 3-4 at the start of the week, easy to grab on the way out the door to work.
Flower says
None of the above, however I am currently enjoying peanut butter M & M’s in a bowl and they’re delish, probably not a very healthy dinner choice though, oops!
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious says
I haven’t gotten into the things in a jar. Honestly, I just eat nut butter right from the jar. Sometimes with an apple on the side.
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I have yet to make any meal in a jar and perhaps I need to rectify this soon. I tend to just use my fingers to scoop out the last of the hummus, peanut butter or what have you #notclassybutitworks
Shawna says
i’ve never made any of these “in a jar” things, although i looooove mason jars so i probably should buy some and start making things in them. although let’s be honest — if i buy some, the only things i’m going to make in them are cocktails. equally as “in a jar” excitement-worthy.
Kelsie says
HAHA THAT SEAL!!!!!!!
Nicole says
OIAJ, yes. Salad in a jar = Genius. Pie in a jar, you keep getting smarter.
Weird my dog (who I’m usually obsessed with) puked on my comforter on Saturday and I also didn’t like him.
Livi @ Eat, Pray, Work It Out says
OIAJ- of course.
SIAJ- not yet.
PIAJ- I WISH
