Meal prepping for weight loss and healthier eating (not to mention the many other benefits it provides as explained in our Benefits to Meal Prep blog post) has been gaining in popularity over the past couple years. And the foundation of meal prepping… good storage containers! How you choose to store your meals can make or break your meal prepping efforts especially when working with lots of produce to keep your meals as healthy as possible.
