I was excited that I was invited to try Fresh Express Salads. I've been wanting to try the Fresh Express 30-Day Salad Swap that I have been hearing about through Moms Meet. When I received my coupons in the mail for my free Salads I couldn't wait to go purchase them from the store. I decided to do the Salad Swap and I invite you to join me for the Fresh Express 30 -Day Salad Swap. To make it easier you can sign up at saladswap.com just download the free app to get a progress tracker, recipe ideas , salad swaps, Fresh Express coupons and more.
After the start of the New Year I had all the intentions to start eating healthier but as a busy working mom I kept putting it off. I find it hard to prepare healthy lunches to bring to work so I often find myself going through fast food restaurants which means I have been watching my waistline expand and my pocket book deflate ! I decided it was time to get serious and eat healthier with Salad Express 30-Day Swap it makes it so easy . I downloaded the free app that Fresh Express offers and started swapping out my not so healthy high calorie food choices for low calorie delicious salads . I love that I can grab a bag of Fresh Express Salad and make my salads without worrying about taking extra time out to wash them. They come thoroughly washed , rinsed and gently dried. Fresh Express has a wide variety of products which makes me happy knowing, I won't get bored having to use the same Salad Mix over and over again! The prices are affordable and I actually started saving money when I stopped going through fast food restaurants for lunch and started bringing my salads to work .
One of the things I started doing on Sundays was preparing my crisp fresh Salads for the week. I found this was easier and kept me on track . I used the Fresh Express app to find Salad Swap recipes like the Bacon Cheeseburger Salad found here or I made up my own recipes using Fresh Express salads. I used 1-quart mason jars to put my salads in. I found the jars took up less room in my refrigerator and was easier for me to transport to work. 
Here's five 1- single serving Salad recipes that I made using Fresh Express salad . I sprayed the top of the mason jars with chalkboard paint this way I could write the name of the recipe and the expiration date on it . I tied a fork using ribbon to the jar. Fresh Express Salads on the go is what I call them . Great for lunches, parties and picnics .
