SAVORY MASON JAR SNACKS
Hi Friends! Welcome back to the HGG Blog! If you’re like me, you love snacks! Today I’m sharing 3 Savory Snack ideas featuring Pearls Olives To Go!
Snacks are a great way to help manage appetite and energy levels! Extreme hunger can lead to extreme overeating at your next meal. To avoid this, I recommend being prepared with quality & wholesome, real food snacks.
One of my favorite tools for meal prep is to use Mason Jars! They are reusable and I love that you can see through them making it easy to know exactly what you have on hand in the fridge.
I am a big fan of olives. I eat them almost every single day! Like all our HGG recipes, please feel free to adjust ingredients and quantities so that work for you!

What I love about Pearls Olives To Go is that they are incredibly convenient, easy to open and portion controlled. They are perfect to grab and go, or add to a grab and go snack like I shared today! Olives are a wholesome, delicious choice and contain monounsaturated fats, which can help you feel full & satisfied! If you find yourself not feeling “full” when eating plant-based meals or snacks… make sure that your dish has some healthy fats, like olives!
