If you follow me on Instagram, then you already know that I’m a serious proponent of packing meals to bring on-the-go, whether it’s to work, school, or anywhere else during a busy day. Thinking about all of the liberties that restaurants and food manufacturers take (i.e. added butter, oil, and preservatives) gives me the serious heebie jeebies. Plus, packing a lunch (or breakfast, or even dinner) will save you some serious $$$.
What I’m saying is that prepping your own on-the-go meals will keep you slender and your wallet fat. Let me show you how I do it.
1. Sterilite Ultra Seal 4.8-Cup Round Divided Bowl, 6-Pack– Finding these containers was arguably one of the greatest things that happened to me in the part of my life that revolves around food (which, as I’m sure you can imagine, is a fairly large part). The divided container let me pack actual meals instead of lame turkey sandwiches. Best part? Literally no leakage. Worst part? They’re really making my freak flag fly by causing me to be this excited about a container…
2. Aladdin 16-Ounce Transform Recycled and Recyclable Tumbler, Lake– I debated whether or not this was even worth posting here and then I remember that coffee is the nectar of the gods. It is responsible for my GPA and basically everything I successfully do in life. So, yeah, here’s the mug I use to tote my coffee to school when I’m remembering that broke college students shouldn’t buy Starbucks eight times a week. No leaking here either.
3. Camelbak Eddy Bottle (1-Liter/32-Ounce,Charcoal)– Thirst and hunger are the identical twins who think it’s funny to switch identities and see if anyone notices. In this case, though, mistaking your thirst for hunger can keep you from being slender. My solution? My trusty Camelbak water bottle. I’ve recently upgraded from the .75 to the 1-liter and I haven’t looked back since.
4. Ziploc Twist ‘N Loc Containers, Small 2 Cup, 3 Containers & 3 Lids (Pack of 2)– These containers were my go-to when I first started prepping meals. They’re dishwasher and microwave safe, have really sturdy and stackable screw-on lids, and even have measurements on the side! I use them to pack yogurt and fruit, overnight oats, stir-frys, and small chopped salads (I use the medium size for larger salads).
Please let me know if you have any questions about the items above or if you have any tried and true prepping products that you think I need to try out. Also, what do y’all think about a weeklong series of on-the-go lunches or breakfasts? Let me know in the comments!
