I’m a firm believer in eating a balanced breakfast in the mornings. Oatmeal is my usual dish of choice, followed closely by yogurt bowls with sprinklings of nuts and plenty of berries and green smoothies packed with beets and bananas. Clearly, I have a bit of a sweet tooth, but I also appreciate the ease with which I can prepare and portion these meals in advance. My life is busy, especially now that the holidays are nearly here, and my mornings are rushed, so having a ready-made breakfast waiting for me when I get downstairs is invaluable.
Over the years, I’ve realized that owning food storage containers in the right size is half the battle. If they’re too big, I’ll overeat, but if they’re too small, I’ll be hungry. These 16-ounce modern mason jars are the happy medium I was searching for, and they cost less than $4 apiece at Amazon for a limited time.
Eonjoe Set of 4 Overnight Oats Containers
Eonjoe’s containers are dishwasher-safe and made of lead-free glass with leakproof, BPA-free plastic lids. There are four containers in the set, each of which can hold up to 16 ounces (2 cups) of food at a time. All of this is my long-winded way of saying that they’re sturdy, conveniently sized and great for portion control and meal prep alike. While I fill mine with fiber- and protein-heavy foods like oats and yogurt, you can fill yours with egg bites, savory quinoa salads or chia seed puddings as you see fit.
Of the more than 1,400 Amazon shoppers who gave Eonjoe’s set of four overnight oats containers five-star ratings, one commented that they’re “perfect for meal prepping and food storage.” Another shopper added that while they originally got them for overnight oats, they have since “found them to be handy for many other things” like “homemade sauces, dressings” and more. And a third called them “an excellent addition to any kitchen.”
If you’re looking for ways to set yourself up for success during this busy holiday season, start with your breakfast routine. After you find the right food storage containers like these from Eonjoe, you’ll be free to fill them with the recipes you love.
