- Hey guys, today I am gonna show you
the best meal prep containers.
We're gonna go over the ones that are the ones that I use,
the ones you see on this channel,
and the ones that I've tested,
and a couple of new ones I know you're gonna love.
There are two types of meal prep containers out there.
Obviously there are glass meal prep containers
and there are plastic meal prep containers.
I particularly love the glass type.
If you are microwaving your food, or you need to heat it up,
the glass options stands out best to time,
and also it is dishwasher safe.
The biggest advantage of plastic meal prep container
is clearly that they stack really well,
and they take up a lot less room
in your pantry or cabinet in your kitchen.

The first meal prep container
is this rectangular glass container.
I love it because, as I mentioned earlier,
glass really lasts a long time, it is dishwasher safe,
it is freezer safe, but it also locks like this,
so it's really easy to transport and close up.
It is perfect for layered meals,
and all of those meal prep videos that we all love online,
and I have some in this channel,
which I'll link below for you.
These come five to a pack,
and I'll make sure to link those right below this video.
An alternative to this rectangular shape
is a plastic version which is really easy to find online.
I like it because it's stackable and it's also divided,
so it's super helpful to separate your food.
Plus it's also freezer friendly,
which means, yes you can microwave it,
but that is a personal choice,
whether or not you microwave plastic.
These are really affordable, and you get 10 in a pack.
We're gonna move on to another glass options
that I really like,
is our glass locking bowls.
They're a bit larger in size
than the rectangular glass containers,
which means they hold a little bit more food.
They're great for salads, and of course, soups,
which you can then microwave and heat them up.
They come three to a pack, so I'll make sure
to link those right below this video for you.
These are a great option for bigger appetites,
or even big salad bowls like the ones I love.
These plastic lunchboxes
are really great also for meal preps,
especially school lunch or simple office lunches
where maybe you have a sandwich or a wrap.
You've seen me make tons of meal prep videos
for school lunches on this channel,
so I've been using these for a long time.
They have been really durable for me,
and they're also inexpensive, and you get four to a pack.
And of course if your meal prepping your food,
you are gonna need something to hold your dressings,
a little extra seasoning,
and just really separate some of the things
that you may not have warmed up.
So if you have our amazing buffalo chicken salad,
like the one you'll see on this channel,
you may not want the dressing on the meal prep container,
so I have a small lidded container
which I usually fill with dressing.
Now there are two options out there.
One, it is a screw top, so a lot of people like these a lot.
And they're really small
and easy to throw in in any of these containers.
And this other option right here
pops open by simply lifting it away from the corner.
These you get four to a pack,
and these come in a pack of eight.
They are, again, small lidded containers.
They are leakproof, so they're great for anything liquid,
or just simply a few chocolate chips
you may wanna take with you in your lunch.
Right, so now I want to hear from you.
