What is Meal Prep?
Meal prep is the only way to eat healthy and reach your dietary goals, by spending one hour to prep five to seven meals for the week. The reason why meal prep for the week works is because it keeps you on a healthy routine and prevents you from making bad choices during the week. Cook once, enjoy healthy and nutritious meals all throughout the week. That is what healthy meal prep is all about!

Which meal prep containers to use?
Glass containers are the only thing you should be using for meal prep. Plastic containers contain chemicals that can leech into the food, especially when heated up. My recommendation for glass meal prep containers are these 28 ounce containers that can be heated in the oven or microwave, and the lids are very sturdy. When storing meal prep in large quantities in the fridge, I recommend using glass bowls with lids from pyrex.
How long does it take to meal prep?
It takes about one hour of cooking time to meal prep for the week. Of course, you need to go shopping for ingredients, so make sure to have a detailed shopping list prepared ahead of time and don’t deviate from that. The goal is to get in and out the of the grocery store as quickly as possible, and get to cooking your meal prep. You could even order groceries from Amazon or Instacart and make your life that much easier.
