One of the main questions everyone has when meal prepping is, where do I get the scale, containers & bag from? I've personally used several different types of containers and after working with a few different options, I've provided some suggestions below.
The Ozeri scale is a real winner, i love mine. I've also suggested it to several people and I've received a ton of positive feedback. You can feel confident with this recommendation, you really can't go wrong here. People are using this scale for things other than meal prepping as well, so it's just been vetted and proven over the years. Seriously, this is one of those items that's really stood the test of time. Let me know how it works for you if you decide to pick one up!
I've had recent conversations with the owners over at The Meal Lab. They've taken steps to improve their containers which will set them apart from the rest. Having the 3 compartments gives you some flexibility to have real variety with your preps. It can also prevent foods from making each other soggy or changing the overall flavor. There are other options such as Pyrex, but they are heavy and pricey. There are some variables you'll need to weigh here, but The Meal Lab provides a great starting point.
Finally you'll need something to carry those prepped meals around. I picked up a Six Pack Bags Innovator 300 from Amazon a few years ago and it's still in great shape. There are some other good bags out there but my personal experience lies with this one. It gets the job done and looks great too! I personally like the all black stealth bag.
I hope that helps answer some questions and get you started! Here's more detail on the items suggested above, click on the images to purchase them directly from Amazon. Don't forget to tag @mealprepdaily on the preps you've created with these wonderful tools!
