(Part 3) Top products from r/MealPrepSunday

For the second week in a row the wife pretty much planned the menu. She chose a couple of old low-cal favorites, and a some new stuff she found on Pinterest throughout the week.

Ham Wraps - An easy portable little snack/meal and one of the wife's favorites. It starts with 8oz of low-fat cream cream cheease. Add in a bundle of diced green onions, some chopped ham slices, and a tablespoon of worchester sauce. Mix by hand, and smear 1/7 of this mix onto a low-cal tortilla.

Caloriess: 178

Cauliflower Casserole - A returning dish from last week that the wife absolutely loves. It smells like a loaded baked potato, and the wife confirms that it tastes the same as well. This week I doubled the batch which gave us more meals, and a bigger portion for each. We made 8 of these.

Started by chopping up 2 heads of cauliflower and boiling them til tender in salted water (took about 15 minutes). Rinsed until chilled, and then broke them up by rubbing between my hands. Put this in a casserole dish, and add in 8oz of low-fat cream cheese, 1 cup of low-fat sour cream, 1/4 cup of parmasean cheese, 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 bundle of chopped green onions. Stir it up, and into a 350 degree overn for 15 minutes.

Calories: 152

Chicken Salad - 1 can of Swanson cooked chicken, 1 tablespoon of Light Miracle Whip, 1 stalk of celery finely chopped, about a tablespoon of chopped yellow onion, and a healthy dash of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. Not sure what the wife's plans are for this one (normally eats with Baked Lays, but I think she's eyeing some crackers this week).

Calories: 150

Quinoa & Black Beans - A new dish the wife picked out this week. Mexican is her favorite type of food, and this dish provides the flavor and plenty of stomach filling potential with a low calorie count.

Started by dicing a yellow onion, and sweating it in a little olive oil until they just start to develope some color. Then added in 1 can of low-sodium black beans, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can of diced green chiles, 1 3/4 cup of vegetable broth, and 3/4 of quinoa. Simmer for about 20 minutes, and then remove from the heat and let set for a while. Scooped 1/5 of this mix into a meal prep container, and we've got a healthy portion for not a lot of calories.

Calories: 235

Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing - Salads are key to making this process work. My wife likes to eat a lot of food, and pulling that off on a diet means you need a big meal that's extremely low-cal standing by for emergencies. The wife tends to get bored easily though, so each week we try to find something to change it up a bit.

The salad was extremely simple. 1/2 of a bag of salad mix into a Chinese soup container, 1/4 of a cup of pre-cooked chicken strips. The dressing this week was the "something different". It was 1/4 cup of Dijon Mustard, 2 tablespoons of Light Miracle Whip, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Whipped together, and then portioned out in a little container I picked up off of Amazon.

Calories: 101

Pork Chili - This week's big soup was my pork chili. It's tasty, low-cal, and full of protein, which is important for me as much as I've been working out.

It started by slow-cooking a 3lbs pork tenderloin overnight in the Crock-Pot with some garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder smoked paprika, and 2 chicken bullion cubes. I set it on high for a few hours, then once it came to a boil I dropped to low heat and let it cook overnight.

The next morning I roasted a bag of little tri-color peppers and 4 pablano peppers for about an hour at 450 degrees. Then wrapped in foil to let sweat, and then peeled them and rough chopped. These went into my 3 gallon soup pot with some chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, smoke paprika, and red pepper flakes. Let this simmer for a bit, and then deglazed with about 1/2 of a Yuengling Lager. Then added 3 cans of tomato juice, 3 cans of chili beans, and let this whole mix come to a boil. Then I shredded the pork tenderloin by hand, added it to the chili, and removed from the heat. Let it set for an hour, and then enjoy.

Calories: 155 for an 8oz bowl.

Bonus Meal: I'm working out a ton, and don't care about calories. By biggest struggle at this point is actually getting enough food to keep myself going, so I've started making some breakfast sandwhiches for myself. It's an everything bagel topped with 2 scrambled eggs, a turkety sausage patty, and a little cheeze. Microwave these for 90 seconds, fipping half-way through, and they make a great little protein filled way to start the day.

Gear: When I picked up the new dressing containers this week it occurred to me that I've never done a write up about any of the gear that I use. This might prove useful, so here's the list.

Prep Containers: Just some basic 2 slot prep containers I picked up off of Amazon. I've bought about 30 of these so far, and been pretty happy with them. One of my orders came in with half of em broken, but a quick call to their customer service got it fixed. I figured the items weren't expensive enough to be worth their trouble getting shipped back, so I told them "refund half of my money and we'll call it even", and they agreed.

Chinese Soup Containers: These actually started with me just reusing some actual soup containers from a chinese restruant, but they proved useful enough that I started buying my own. My "big soup of the week" tends to be eaten for dinner, so these don't get used for soup. Instead we've found that they make great salad bowls.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M9Z4SV6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My New Dressing Containers: Dressing a salad more than hour in advance will lead to be a big nasty wilted mess. I bought these so that we could pre-portion the dressing and drop it in the salad bowl each week. On weeks where we make the Pizza Lunchables they'll also make great pizza sauce containers. Thus the reason I bought 8 of them.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XS2SHQJ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I frankly don't understand the popularity of the divided containers, but %90 of my prepped meals are all in one bowl.

I'm pretty cheap, so I just have several of these bowls. They aren't amazing quality, but I've had one set for over a year and use them pretty much weekly, and they're still holding up fine. I don't believe they're dishwasher safe, but I don't put them in the dishwasher anyway.

I also have this set, which is also over a year old and is also in pretty good shape. My mother bought that set about five years ago for typical leftover usage and hers is still going strong as well. The variety of sizes gives me more options for when I don't want to just have "a bowl of stuff" for lunch. I do like that a number of the lids are interchangeable, so you get the flexibility of differing volumes while only having to keep track of three different lid types.

People seem pretty happy with pyrex, so maybe I'll upgrade to that eventually, but what I have works fine for me right now.

I've used glass containers for microwaving eggs, but never for meal prep. The only thing that is holding me back is the weight, storage, and price. I need about 10 containers, so that will set me back around $100 or so. Glass is awesome though, super easy to clean. I just need something around 28 ounces to hold meals, that's it.

These look nice. Kind of spendy, though. I use this brand's plastic containers and they work nice. I bet that these are a great choice for a meal prep container.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0175EUOL8/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_NjvnxbKVETKRQ

These look sort of promising, cost-wise at least. I just wonder how good the seal is. According to Amazon reviews, it's not the best.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000CFTPA/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_Xqvnxb370PYPJ

My experience, been prepping meals for few years:
Pyrex glass containers are the best, clean and healthy, however, they are heavy to pack around.
Next I tried both these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01535KBSC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017QN8SNE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Both were bad for me. The black ones are too bulky and don't keep closed very well (leaks). The 'bento' style, I tried two brands of this style, lids and containers warp and soon don't fit each other.
Now my alternative to the glass ones are https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014CT9HI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And they hold up decently well. In fact, I've had pretty good luck with rubbermaid containers of this design. Note that the ones I linked are still a little big for normal portions.
If you don't mind the glass weight, the Pyrex are wonderful (and no silicone to pull out and clean) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000CFMTV/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Best prices can be found at Wallmart, in the large assorted pack for under $20.
Good luck, hope it saves you money!

Here is what I made for the week, along with some tips I learned while cooking:

Chicken Burrito Bowls

• http://everydaymealprep.com/no-cook-meal-prep-burrito-bowls/
  
• I bought a 'mojo'-seasoned rotisserie chicken at the grocery store as my choice of protein.
  
• Used spring mix lettuce; didn't bother shredding it.
  
  Sausage Egg Roll in a Bowl
  
  
• https://www.bunsinmyoven.com/2015/08/24/sausage-egg-roll-in-a-bowl/
  
• This called for 6 cups of shredded coleslaw mix, but after putting in 4 cups I had more than enough to have four substantial portions!
  
  Korean Beef Bowls
  
  
• https://www.skinnytaste.com/korean-beef-rice-bowls/
  
• I used quinoa instead of brown rice because I already had some cooked quinoa on hand.
  
• I couldn't find Gochujang specifically at Publix, but a quick Googling on my phone let me know that Thai chili paste is a very close replacement (if not the same thing).
  
• Instead of cucumbers, I sautéed zucchini in the juices made from the meat and sauce leftover on the pan.
  
  Muffin Tin Baked Eggs
  
  
• http://www.laurenhefez.com/blog/2013/08/09/muffin-tin-baked-eggs-recipe-great-breakfast-for-the-on-the-go-person
  
• I make these almost every week for breakfast; they are great because you can mix and match different veggies and ground meat and always have it varied and tasty.
  
• This time I used a whole carton of spinach, ~1/4 yellow onion chopped, grape tomatoes, and some ground Italian turkey sausage.
  
• It's really easy to make more filling than you actually need. Instead of throwing it out (or having leftover egg), I like to put the remaining filling on the side of the egg muffins to eat along with them.
  
• Egg muffins are really good with salsa or marinara sauce on top! This week I went with medium chunky salsa.
  
  
  Containers used:
  
  
• Round containers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QQIXCB4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Rectangle containers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SX9XFMU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I live in Canada, and personally found it difficult to find decent containers (still on the hunt) that are not overly expensive since I need to buy at least 10.

I currently use a mix of these plastic containers which probably wont last as long as the glass containers from ikea. They seem like they are good enough thus far lasting through microwaves and dishwashers. IMO, they are a pretty decent size - at least for my needs... for my basic meal prep it fit 1 cup cooked rice, 112g of chicken breast and a bunch of broccoli.

If I was American I'd probably go for these containers

I'm not a pro at this as I just started MPS recently, but I've learned it's best to get containers that are freezer/microwave/dishwasher safe, BPA free. Hopefully others can chime in with their experience!

Finally, I get my inspo from:

• This sub
  
  
• https://www.budgetbytes.com/
  
  
• https://www.onceuponachef.com/
  
  
• Pinterest
  
  
• Random google searches till I find something I like
  
  Goodluck!!

Recipe:

I work as an RN and have started meal planning the evening before my shift, I love it! The containers I bought on Amazon, they have pretty colored lids and are super sturdy:

Portion Perfect Premium Meal Prep Containers/Portion Control Containers/Bento Lunch Box, (Set of 5) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0186T4NUY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_s5jnwUR54MmSi

"Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food."-Hippocrates

I am just out of school and have recently been doing this as well. I have found that just using fresh vegetables from the grocery store either raw or roasted are the best methods.

For my slow cooker I have been making 2 things with high yield that are 1. easy, 2. cheap, and 3. delicious. Chilli, with plenty of red, green, yellow peppers, and chicken curry (essentially just chicken breast, rice, veggies, curry powder, and coconut milk) with mushrooms, peppers, tomato, green beans, sugar snap peas, etc. Makes 5 days worth of lunch and leftovers you can freeze or have for dinner! Best of luck and I am no expert of this and trying to continue to learn.

Also these have been my saving grace: http://www.amazon.com/Meal-Prep-Haven-2-Compartment-Containers/dp/B011SUKOHE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1452181732&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=lunch+containers&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00COK3FD8/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 hopefully the link works. Someone on here actually suggested this 42 piece Rubbermaid set from Amazon awhile back. Been pretty pleased with it thus far and a great deal.

agreed...we bought them at Costco as Snapware. This set has some larger ones but that works for larger leftovers you can then re-heat at home or portion out later. The gaskets in the lids keep liquids in, though they can be a bit more labor to clean. I feel better microwaving glass more frequently as even the thicker plastic BPA free containers change over time with frequent microwaving.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01757ZULY/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1. And they don't leak (so far). Haven't tried anything liquid like soup yet.

We bought a few packs of these for lunches and storage we've since converted to the glass ones bc the plastic etches, however the small ones are PERFECT for the type of storage you are looking at, but they're reusable and washable. With the amount we toss into landfills, I'm pretty unwavering in how important it is to reuse things like this.

That is GREAT info! Thanks for sharing!

I've looked it up and was wondering if these are the ones you are refering to? Do you happen to know if they are BPA free? Also, do know if the compartments seal off from one another or is there leakage between them?

Sorry to ask so many questions, but I'm always interested in alternatives.

I just could not cook rice to save my life, I ended up purchasing a rice cooker off of Amazon. I highly recommend the Aroma Rice Cooker. I have been using it at least 2x a week for the past 3 years. Best $30 I've ever spent.

i re-use them, but they don't last forever. i got both of the following from reditainer

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00SX9XFMU/ref=psdc_13880481_t2_B009W2LMRM

these are brittle when frozen. most of my failures cracked because something pressed on them or fell and hit them in my freezer. besides that, they have low sides, so it was easy for sauce/liquid to leak out


https://smile.amazon.com/Reditainer-Extreme-Containers-16-Ounce-36-Pack/dp/B00HG8YTB0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523405028&sr=8-1&keywords=reditainer

these are much more durable for freezing. and since they have taller sides by comparison, i worry less about transporting liquids in them. microwaving though, the food gets hot enough that the containers shape bends a little with the heat. and the dishwasher gets hot enough and if they slip and get wedge in an odd shape when hot, they will cool and now be an oblong shape. they are still fine to be used, but the harder, black and clear ones from the first link, they always stayed their same shape.

i do like the 2nd ones better because i've ordered a few sizes and it is nice for portion control. i fill the round containers about 2/3rds of the way full. it's small enough i can almost always microwave and eat it all at once. or i'll put a rich stew in it and then have a 2nd container full of some fresh cut vege, that i wont microwave.

If you don't have one already, I suggest an InstantPot. When I got mine, it was on the first Prime Day for $99, but last Prime day it was down to $69, so for Black Friday they'll probably discount it similarly.

I really like it because it's a great multipurpose appliance (quite necessary in my small kitchen!) and it's double the volume of my slow cooker, which means I can cook big batches of food in it. I make yogurt, stock from bones, cook beans from dry, cook rice, soups, slow cooker dishes, etc, in it. I probably use it about twice a week.

Amazon !

It looks like it's out of stock at the moment, but they're good quality for a reasonable price :)

(Edit to fix the link)

I've really been enjoying my Pyrex snap ware. I've been using them daily for work for a year now and they've been perfect.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BSZJYY4

My local Costco has them on sale, something like $25 for the set, $30 normally.

I looked it up just for you. I wanted a simple one (I didn't like the instant pot as a rice cooker, but maybe the one I regifted was broken?) with good capacity and clearly marked inner water lines.

​

It has more buttons than I use, and it doesn't count down to the end of your cooking until it's in the last minute - my guess is it doesn't actually know until some internal sensor condition is met. 4/5 stars, $30, 10k reviews on amazon. I tried the smaller model and it was a no-go for the larger rice mix meals I make.

I got them from amazon. If that link doesn't work I will update it when I get home from work.

These are great. I like having three spaces so I can add in whatever fruit I feel like before I head out the door.

I have actually been investigating the same thing. :) It appears that these would be your best bet (just ordered some!):

Those LOOK like they would work, reviews aren't so stellar tho. Thanks for the link tho!

Edit: Maybe it was these instead... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B018WWO2SS?psc=1, much better reviews on these

Pyrex snapware. I bought individual containers from a grocery store in Canada but amazon, walmart, costco, etc has the set. They are by FAR the best containers I have ever used.

BPA free, microwavable, easy to clean, not too expensive, and come in assorted compartment styles but still remain stackable and easy to store.

Link

i cook about 2-3 portions/days of rice throughout the week. highly recommend a rice cooker. total game changer. takes about 2 minutes tops to measure, clean/rise the rice, and start cooking. Add another 2 minutes for clean up in a simple soak and wipe out.

I personally bought this one

I know Crockpot make a warmer which you can take to work, but I'm not sure if you power it in your car, however I found an alternative on Amazon which might be good! The first one needs the food to be cooked first, so do some research on the second one too, personally I'd cook in advance just to make sure regardless though.

Pakkon Round Bento Lunch Box Containers With Clear Lid / Japanese Bento Box / Storage Container Set 24 ounce 20 pk

Best deal on amazon right now.

$80 right now i bought a different version for $60 last year on a lightning deal on amazon (mine dosn't have a low pressure setting , which is pretty much only good for making yogurt.)

I just bought these from Amazon to use for lunches. I've got a bunch of different-sized Tupperware and they always seem a bit too high and not wide enough, so hopefully these will solve that problem. Plus, I won't have to search for the correct lid since they're all the same!

And my favorite container for freezing is a good ol' trusty store-brand quart zip freezer bag!

I like to use these [Pyrex dishes] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000CFTPA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_K4qhybJ6TY27Q) I typically let my meat cool and drain on the cutting board then store it layered in the dish. It lasts a week no problem. The texture changes slightly but I don't expect it to be perfect for a whole week. At the end of the week I cook the scraps up with bbq sauce to make a pulled meat sandwich or mac and cheese.

Also, I prep 3 sandwiches a day so I do generally go through it before it has a chance to spoil.

A lot of people on here like those cheap black plastic containers that look like what you get from Chinese fast food restaurants. I have tried them, and they are too flimsy for my taste. I've had these containers for years, and they are as cheap or cheaper than the black ones. They do have issues if you microwave tomato based sauces (like most plastic), but they seal well, are very durable, machine washable, and very cheap.

Edit: They also nest really well for storage, and the lids match several different sized bases so you aren't always hunting for the right lid.

These, and yes; dishwasher safe as well.

I dunno what you consider expensive, but I got these last year, and they've worked great.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I97JQ28/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Right on Amazon! Such a great buy!

Pakkon 3 Compartment Bento Box with Airtight Lid, 10 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015NEHIWK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_VKUAyb25TX3TP

That's actually still pretty relevant haha. I got them on Amazon.

Yeah and I don't work the same days every week so I have to do it when it fits for me. The containers are totally re-useable. I posted the amazon link from which I got them somewhere in the comments here, certainly worth the money.

Edit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B011SUKOHE/ref=pd_aw_sim_79_1/260-6751480-0648625?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=VH9AT27RC6508B5X2N1M&dpPl=1&dpID=71mKLmqC32L

These are the exact ones that I use, they've held up over a year now with pretty heavy use, and are dishwasher safe.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01757ZULY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm pretty sure they are these, reusable

Amazon, naturally. [Bento lunch box] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0186T4NUY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_pYNJzbGB3GB6D)

And thanks! I hope it freezes well, I've never really tried to do that with stuff, usually just taking random leftovers to work but I want to build up a freezer of grab and go meals.

Get a Crock Pot food warmer. I love mine.

My mom is like you, in that she won't eat cold chicken or other cooled meat in a salad. It triggers her eosinophilic esophagitis gagging/vomiting.
She usually makes a big crock pot recipe with proteins and grains, eats it for dinner, then uses the leftovers for her lunch the next day. She has a small portable electric thermos that she uses. It's exactly like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Crock-Pot-SCCPLC200-BL-20-Ounce-Lunch-Warmer/dp/B006H5V8RG

http://www.amazon.com/Meal-Prep-Containers-Microwavable-Dishwasher/dp/B01757ZULY?th=1&psc=1

They're amazing products, especially as a meal prepper.

I got them on amazon. They were on sale :)

My parents have the same ones. Here ya go :)

Rubbermaid divided containers

Can you bring something like this?


https://www.amazon.com/Crock-Pot-SCCPLC200-BL-20-Ounce-Lunch-Warmer/dp/B006H5V8RG

Never used it but I've seen it recommended here before.

Wish I got those to begin with. Bought these and half were unusable/smashed up https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TZ8YX92/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They are not disposable, dishwasher and microwave safe...but they only last so many uses before becoming flimsy. Worth it to me though. I got mine from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015NEHIWK

How about these or these?
I've seen them floating around on amazon. I thought the price is fair, but they're more expensive than the MMG containers...and don't come with any food inside.

Seems quite pricey ~AUD$25 per container. Please let me know if they find a cheaper alternative.

Not OP, but I have similar ones from Amazon:

Just do a search for food prep containers on amazon. most containers are <$1!

They're from Amazon. Here is a link!

We use the containers from the link below. Had the same sets (we bought 2) for years and haven't had any issues.

I have these. I think they're the same ones if so they're kinda brittle but get the job done.

I've gotten 2 sets and they've lasted me a couple years.

Meal Prep Containers 10 Sets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018WWO2SS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_eSI1xb45TSGKB

They were on sale for $10 last week

I personally use these Three Compartment Meal Prep Haven Containers

They also have them in Two Compartment and Single Compartment

I think OP is using these: http://www.amazon.com/Pakkon-Compartment-Durable-Container-Airtight/dp/B015NEHIWK?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00

These are the ones that I have.

I got these after a post on this subreddit

I think a lot of what you're calling "disposable" isn't one-use "disposable". I've been using something similar to these. $7 for 9 containers. I've washed and reused the same 9 containers for months now. They don't break, they freeze, they microwave, they're lightweight, they stack neatly, they're easy to carry. AND if they get lost or broken, they're not expensive to replace.

I have Prime...?

Plus they're not that great. :( I posted before I did more research.

I have the same ones and got them at Big Lots : )

Here's an Amazon link too though if you have no Big Lots nearby.

Get yourself a $30 rice cooker. Here's the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/Aroma-Housewares-ARC-914SBD-Cool-Touch-Stainless/dp/B007WQ9YNO/

I used to waste $2 per meal on the microwave instant rice. Now I get a huge freaking sack of rice for some insanely cheap price at Walmart. And properly cooked rice actually has a lower glycemic index than instant rice, so it's much healthier to boot.
