There are so many benefits of meal prepping–it saves you time and money rather than going out for lunch during the week. It's also a great way to try out our recipes. The thing is, it can be hard to store all of your prepared food in your fridge if you're stuck with clunky containers that don't match, and it's easy to think of an excuse for why you can't meal prep rather than just trying it out for yourself. We're here to answer all your questions and let you know the best products you should get that help you meal prep successfully, and might just make it your new favorite habit.
Why meal prep?
Besides saving you money and never having to figure out what to get for lunch again, meal prepping is a great way to control your portions. When it hits lunchtime and you've been sitting at your desk for so long, the fatigue might make you want to overeat. With the proper meal prep containers, you can separate your proteins, veggies, and other sides in their specific compartments so you'll be satisfied without feeling too full.
What food should I cook to meal prep?
Cooking your lunches ahead of time (we suggest on a Sunday, to get you ready for the week ahead!) gives you the opportunity to try out all of the recipes you haven't been able to get to. Our one-skillet dinners and easy instant pot meals are great ways to make enough food for the week with barely any clean up.
So where do I start?
Once you have the recipes you want to try out and all the ingredients for them, the storage is the next important thing. You want containers that will keep the food sealed with no leaks and won't take up all of the space in your fridge—that's where we come in! Here are 14 containers—in glass, fun colors, and interesting shapes—to help you.
