Cook Everything at Once

You don’t want to spend time and cook everything separately. You will save time and money. In the end, there will be no difference in the way that the meals taste. One of the most meal prep tips you’ll ever hear.

Make A Shopping List

Always make a thorough shopping list with literally everything you need for the week. In the beginning, it might be hard to anticipate every single detail, but you’ll know for next time.

Buy Mason Jars

This is the jar you’ve been seeing everywhere. Mason jars are amazing, pretty and extremely useful. You can use them in the microwave and store all types of foods. Dishwasher-friendly, plus only cost a dollar. Ideal for salads, keep the dressing on the bottom and the veggies on top. Meal prep was just upgraded.
