The 19 Best Meal Prep Containers 2021

We asked nutritionists and dietitians to recommend the best containers for storing and transporting meal-prep meals. Their picks include Pyrex glass containers, Stasher bags, S’well water bottles, Thermos, mason jars, bento boxes, and more..
For another portable option, Piper recommends this set of three nesting metal boxes. “I love stainless-steel tiffins — stacking metal containers — for packing my lunches that don’t need to be heated,” she says. The three boxes can be used together or separately, depending on what’s on the menu. .
Even the most seasoned meal-prepper might feel hesitant about keeping a container full of juice or soup in the same bag as a laptop or important work papers, so finding the right vessel for holding liquids can be a challenge. Both Ostrower and and Shapiro rely on S’well bottles to keep soups and drinks hot, and smoothies and juices cold, for hours without spilling. Shapiro points out that the travel mug is especially good for meal prep. “It has a wide mouth so you can actually drink the thick liquid [of a smoothie],” she says. “You can also use it for soup, which is a great thing to meal-prep because you can get a lot of servings out of it.” .
While Piper says you can wrap washed greens in linen dishcloths or napkins to keep them fresh, for a dedicated solution she likes these flax linen bags, designed to hold moisture and prevent spoiling. Use a dry bag for washed berries and a slightly damp one for herbs and veggies.
