The Meal Prep Tools I Use Every Week

I've been doing Sunday meal prep consistently for over two years. In that time I've tested a lot of containers and tools — some that became permanent fixtures in my kitchen and some that went straight to the donation pile. This list is only the keepers.

What's on the List

  • Glass Meal Prep Containers (2-compartment) — keeps protein separate from vegetables so nothing gets soggy. Oven-safe, microwave-safe, and leak-proof lids.
  • Rubbermaid Brilliance Set — crystal clear, stain-resistant, four-sided locking lids. The best overall plastic container for meal prep.
  • Wide-Mouth Mason Jars — for overnight oats, smoothie ingredients, chia pudding, and salad-in-a-jar. Versatile, inexpensive, and last forever.
  • Veggie Chopper — cuts vegetable prep time by 70%. Press down and your onions, peppers, and zucchini are uniformly diced in seconds.
  • Reusable Silicone Freezer Bags — for batch-freezing smoothie packs, proteins, soups, and pre-portioned snacks. Freeze flat and stack vertically.
  • Divided Portion Control Containers — sections pre-sized for protein, carbs, and vegetables. Visual portion control without calorie counting.
  • Chalkboard Labels — label every container with contents and date. Never play "is this still good?" fridge roulette again.
  • Sheet Pan Set — for roasting large batches of vegetables and proteins at once. A good heavy sheet pan is the most-used tool in my Sunday prep.

My Sunday prep takes about 60-75 minutes total: grains on the stove, proteins in the oven, vegetables roasting, overnight oats in jars. Everything runs at the same time — it's not 60 minutes of active cooking, just 60 minutes of the kitchen running.
