2. MAKE A CREAMY DIP
Ingredients:

3. MAKE A VARIETY OF FRUIT & GREEN SALADS
It's this simple... Get a bunch of mason jars. Get a couple of BNTO cups to store the dressing. You can do this with anything from veggies & dip, to guacamole & chips, granola & yogurt, or a veggie salad. Just layer the fruits &/or vegetables (wet on bottom, leafy greens on top). Take to work and enjoy!

5. Stock up on fresh juices!
This is one of the main reasons we freeze our juices. It makes fresh juice so convenient when you can store them in your freezer and pop one out to thaw each day, or whenever you want one.
