We’re always on the lookout for those little tips and products that make ‘living well’ that much easier. We noticed these simple-as-can-be contraptions that turn wide-mouthed canning jars into instantly easy snack storage and we knew we’d found a goodie. Cuppow is the maker of these BNTO jar adaptors
that turn mason jars into modern day bento boxes! If the idea of toting a whole slew of equipment with you to the office or on a hike keeps you from eating the healthy snacks you love while on the go, a few of these healthy ideas could make all the difference! Get inspired with the ideas below, then enter to win our mason jar accessories giveaway…
Going greek:
Throw hummus in the top and an entire chopped cucumber or carrots in the bottom.
Salad in a jar:
Any greens or your favorite raw veggies can stuff down into a jar, while homemade dressing hangs out above til you’re ready to pour over, close the lid and shake.
Berry parfait:
Chill a jar of berries, granola or both and store yogurt up above til you’re ready to enjoy. No soggy granola!
Picnic-ready cheese plate:
Create an instantly chic picnic scenario with just one blanket and a jar of your favorite chevre and grapes!
Sweet treat:
To satiate your sweet cravings in the afternoon, store this snack in your work fridge: fill the jar with slices of fresh mango and keep protein-rich Greek yogurt in the top.
Noodle bowl:
Cook up a quick batch of buckwheat soba noodles and store below with Thai peanut sauce above ready to shake and enjoy for a light lunch.
Kid Pleaser:
Slice an apple or two, throw in the jar and fill the top with almond butter. We love you can throw just the one jar in a tote and it’s ready to go!
Vegan protein:
Throw an oil-less citrus or vegan caesar dressing in the top and a blend of quinoa, beans and salad greens down below
Bowl full of cherries:
Stash a jar full of cherries in your bag. Eat the fruit from the bottom, throw the stems & pits in the top
Milk & cookies:
For the occasional splurge – or to impress the last of your dinner party stragglers! Send folks home from your gathering with their very own late-night snack.

Love this! What a great idea!
This is a wonderful solution to the multi-paks, and zip locks and tupper ware. Thanks for the post! Can you tell me which jars are in the picture? They look uniquely tall and narrow. Thanks.
This is such a wonderful idea! Smart, eco-friendly, and convenient. Does it get much better than that?! These would be perfect for my long commutes. I usually have to miss or rush breakfast but with these, I could throw something healthy and easy in my bag and go!
Cuppow! Keep my delicate greens fresh and crisp till lunchtime FTW!
I love Cuppow’s topper that turns a mason jar into a drinking cup. Can’t wait to try these!
I need this! I always take my mason jar with me at shcool! It is so usefull!
These are AMAZING! Brilliant! Can I PLEASE win!
I’m absolutely crazy about mason jars and have been a huge fan of Cuppow and their commitment to reducing waste. I get so many compliments when I bring my Cuppow lid to work!
This is awesome! I currently use glass peanut butter jars for my coffee… hehehe sounds silly but it works! I love recycling things that way! π This is great!
Simple but genius!
This post is fantastic!! I love stumbling upon new snack and storage ideas. Will definitely be using some of these in the future!
Good to know others share my obsession! Looks like a great addition to the mason jar madness!
these are amazing and a new total necessity….
The Cuppow jar lids are perfect for putting green smoothies in mason jars!
These products are such a great way to make healthy eating simpler!
I can think of many things to do w these jars.
Love these and so smart. Makes healthy snaking a breeze.
Hi there! I am a nanny and a food blogger while my boyfriend travels a lot as a professional triathlete. We live a very active and healthy lifestyle and are always running around; healthy quick, on the go, snacks have always been a challenge! We have gone from kale chips (low cal, tasty and satisfying) to homemade treats. These jars are brilliant! Fruits, veggies, yogurt cups, low sugar desserts with feesh fruit and nuts on top…. oh the list goes on and on in my head! We can’t wait to try them out!!
i love cuppow – and being an amateur canner i always have a plethera of mason jars at home – here’s to hoping something might just go right this week (i.e. perhaps win the cuppow giveaway)
jut two words: great idea!
Jars are already so much better than plastic – but these clever, travel-smart adaptations make them even better! What I wouldn’t give for a few of those simply brilliant inventions…
oh myy gooodnesss all my snack dreams coming true!
Can I please have one? Pretty please with hummus and salad dressing and tahini on top? Love this π
I love the drinking lid from Cuppow, and the BNTO accessory looks really useful. Would love to try it out!
Brilliant!! I love to try this out.
Now that’s clever!!! My husband just bought me some cute blue mason jars that I would love to try out with these cute jar adapters!
These are so clever ! I bet I could think of a hundred ways to them !
cuppow is so great!
I am a huge Cuppow fan! When they came out with the sippy lids, I must have been one of their first customers. I always used Mason jars as my travel mugs anyway, and their clever design made it so much better (and cleaner…). Now I’ve been waiting for my local store to start carrying the BNTO inserts. They’ll be perfect for road snacks and school lunches – one jar with apple slices down below and cashew butter up top, another with turkey roll-ups down below and either avocado-lime dip, or a romesco up top.
As a graduate student striving to pack healthy snacks, this would help SO much!
Love these. I got to pick some of these up!
WE ARE SO GLAD YOU LOVE CUPPOW AS MUCH AS WE DO! CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNER, ALISON – STAY TUNED FOR MORE GIVEAWAYS COMING UP ON TCM SOON!
