Makes: ~6 servings
Per serving: 152 calories, 7g protein, 7g fat, 16g carbs




Ingredients:
1 cup coconut water
juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup ground almonds or almond butter
1/2 T sesame oil
2 clove garlic, chopped
1/8 tsp ground cayenne
1 small onion, thinly sliced
6.5 oz mushrooms, sliced
6.5 oz bok choy, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
1/2 T dried cilantro
1/2 bunch red leaf lettuce
8 cups shredded cabbage
6oz coconut 
1 chicken breast grilled and shredded

Directions:
First up, the dressing... 
Simply put everything together and puree it.  I used by food processor. You can use whatever you'd like!  Mix coconut water, chopped ginger, juice of 1 lime, 1/4 almonds, 1/2 T sesame oil, 2 clove garlic, 1/8 tsp cayenne.

  

Grill chicken breast and shred.
Saute together the onion, mushroom, bok choy, carrots and cilantro. 


   

I was excited about the mason jar packing idea so I split the ingredients evenly in 6ths and layered all of my ingredients in 6 jars as follows and had a small jar of dressing left over for later. 
-- 1.5T dressing
-- chicken
-- sauteed vegetables
-- cabbage
-- coconut
-- lettuce
