| Tired of looking at those ugly big protein containers? Easy solution |

I am! I live in an 1950’s house with very little storage. The huge protein tubs are unsightly and make for awkward storage in my opinion. For the last 6 months I’ve been storing them under my kitchen table, yuck! Most people store flour, sugar and coffee in their counter top canisters. Obviously those aren’t a staple right now in my diet, nor do I think they ever will be again. Last night I got to thinking, I pull out the oats and protein powder the most during the day (the rest of the my diet is in the fridge), so why not store my dry foods in “pretty” containers on my counter for easy access? I still keep the original packaging (especially if you need to see the nutrition labels), I just store them in my extra food storage downstairs. Another plus, my pantry is stocked with foods the rest of the family eat (aka, crap, ok maybe not crap, but since I can’t eat it, is crap), by me not having to open the pantry for my food, its way less of a temptation. The details: I found the glass canisters at Target and Cost Plus (they ranged from 19.99 all the way down to 7.99, depends on how fancy you wanna go). I picked up the chalk board labels at Cost Plus World Market, I think they were $8 (comes with a piece of chalk). I can’t stand chalk, so I used these chalk markers instead, they don’t smudge once dry and they wipe off with water and a towel. Viola! As you can see they are kinda cute!
