Meal prep experienced a true boom in the last few years, and it requires some time to master it. The first step of your meal prep journey is to find a set of containers that suit your needs. They can be made of several different materials and each one has its pros and cons.

Plastic Containers

Plastic meal prep containers are the most popular option on the market because they’re widely available and come with a low-price tag. Unfortunately, they’re not extremely eco-friendly. If you intend to use the microwave to reheat your food, put an extra effort to find BPA-free containers.

Steel Containers

Steel containers are lightweight and easy to carry, but the bad outweighs the good in their case. They’re best avoided because you won’t be able to reheat or refrigerate food inside them because most models aren’t freezer, microwave, or dishwasher-safe.

Glass Containers

Glass containers are much heavier to carry than the ones made from plastic or steel, but they come with a long list of qualities that you should take into consideration. They can be extremely durable if you take good care of them, and you can put them inside a freezer, microwave, or dishwasher at any time.

If you’re on a busy schedule, you might have some trouble finding time to eat when you need to. Or, you might find yourself often ordering takeout or snacking because you simply don’t have time to cook a healthy, filling meal. Maybe you’ve thought about trying to prep your meals for the week during your free time, but haven’t quite gotten the method down. Here are some basic tips to get you started.

Prep the Basics Separately

It’s a good idea to prep the different parts of your meal separately—carbs, protein, fruits and veggies. That way, you can mix and match if you feel like, and if one thing goes bad you still have all the materials you need for a whole meal. For example, you might prep a big batch of rice, some steamed broccoli and roasted cauliflower, some chopped melon and apples, and some beans and grilled chicken for protein. Then you can have the beans on rice or toast, the chicken with the broccoli or the cauliflower, and you have different fruits to choose from too.

Prep Snacks Too

In addition to meals, you’ll want to prep your snacks in advance as well. That way when you get snacky, you’ll having something fresh and/or something healthy and homemade on hand, so you won’t be as quick to reach for the bag of chips or cookies.
