How I Store and Keep Meal Prep Fresh 🍗🍚🍝
Showing you all how I store meals in the fridge and freezer to maximize flavor and freshness!
1.) whatever I plan to eat within the next 3-4 days goes straight into the fridge
2.) the rest of the meals go into the freezer, where they can last up to 6 months
3.) pick a meal from the fridge and reheat it in the microwave; I keep the lid on and slightly off-center to allow the meal to steam
4.) transfer a meal from the freezer to the fridge and place it in the back of the line; this gives it 1-2 days to defrost before reheating
5.) as I cook fresh meals for dinners throughout the week, I turn leftovers into extra meal prep
6.) I add these extra meals into the freezer and fridge to create even more of a variety
7.) I try to meal prep 2-3 different meals a week in addition to cooking 2-3 fresh homemade dinners a week; this gives us at least 4-6 different meals to choose from
8.) repeat the cycle and enjoy!

hey guys so I just prepped a bunch of meals let me show you how I store them so I put them into stacks of various meal types if I’m making different meals then I clear a space in the fridge whatever I’ll eat within 3 to 4 days I’ll put in the fridge the rest I’ll store in the freezer here you can see me storing a variety of meals in the fridge that way I’m not eating the same thing every day the rest I’ll place in the freezer and these last up to 6 months as I get leftovers throughout the week I’ll add them into meal prep containers and store them in the fridge and freezer that way we have a variety when it comes time to eat one I’ll take one from the front of the line of the fridge heat it up in the microwave and here you can see I left the lid slightly open then I’ll take one from the freezer and then transfer it to the fridge in the back of the line that way it gets about a day to defrost and that’s it take care guys

Not a good idea to keep microwaving plastic containers! Invest in glass
I love my leftovers the next day is always better. After a few days in refrigerator I freeze it.
I seen those containers around in my grocery store. I can not think of the name for it but those are cool to have. I reuses mines when I get takeouts from a certain place.
To avoid freezer burn never put warm meals in freezer, cool them down. Put a sheet of plastic wrap down first if lid is a little loose, just remember to remove it before cooking! Also, make a few first and see how they work in your freezer so as not to ruin an entire batch. JMT 😊
What about you heating it in plastic
That plastic you’re using is so fckn unhealthy. Look up how bad the black plastic is. Or don’t care. Idc. Eat the plastic after the food. But ya. Js
When did you cook all of this?
Can I ask something?
I like eating my food cold (yes I’m a weirdo) so if I take a meal out of the freezer and let it fully defrost if I eat it without warming it up will it taste horrible?
microwave is not good
Use glass containers and do not microwave in plastic.
I meal prep for the year (365). It usually takes me just under a week to get it all done.
To those containers stop freezer burn?
Nice
Plastic in the microwave is not the best idea my guy
Las Vegas is not far from Arizona?
I have a surgery coming up. I wanted to cook a bunch of meals and store them in the freezer. I thought about getting a vacuum sealer for food to do this with. But what you showed looks good as well. I also like the idea of taking out one meal out of the freezer to put them in back of the meals in the refrigerator to allow it to defrost. Thank you for the inspo.
Not good for health.
Save containers and lunch meat bowls. Very handy!
Don’t heat plastic in microwave
Great idea except for microwaving in the plastic
Great idea, but my only problem is I get tired of food too soon. And with the price of groceries, wasting food is not an option.
Shouldn’t microwave plastic though
super tips thanks
How long does it take you to prepare all those meals ? I only meal prep for a week. I do 7 breakfast, 7 lunch, and 7 pre-workout meals, and it takes me about 3 to 4 hours on Sundays to prepare. Keep in mind the protein I cook it the day before. Great video and great advice. Thank you. Saludos from Miami.
With love: don't live like this or you will ended up in cancer, microwaving food in plastic, at least transfer it to porcelain then microwave it, or even better use oven to heat it.
freezer burn though in those kind of trays?
Please can you attach a link to get those bowls. Thank you
Love this discipline
This was the exact video I was searching for.
Thank you.
Great 👍 tip. l appreciate u. Thank u, 😉
This is not good nor healthy, people eat fresh
Ok I’m hungry now
You say keep fresh but then put in freezer
We're you dropped during birth? 😂😂😂 frozen isn't fresh
I been told It's not healthy to eat microwave food all the time.
I am bedbound so don't cook anymore. My caregivers will make a meal with several servings. I will eat one, the remainder goes into food prep containers and into the freezer. I have divided food prep containers also. So there could be two sides and a main to be heated in the microwave at a later time. Works great for holiday meals especially as generally there's a lot of food made at one time. Soups also. I have 8 oz and 16 oz containers so the soups and stews are frozen into servings that I will eat at one time. Desserts also. Cookies, brownies, cupcakes so I can eat just one or two, the rest go into the freezer.
Plastic in microwave? Sorry, but don't do that.
try not to use black containers they cause cancer
Is it safe if vegetables are cooked then frozen and reheated by microwave?
If I spend that amount of money in the beginning of the month to meal prep all my meals for the next six months then will I be left with any money to spend of the rest of the things?
Thanks so much
Using plastic containers, is it safe and healthy?
Thank you for sharing 🥰
all those plastic gonna store in your balls
Dont heat food in plastic
Thank you this is exactly what I needed to see I’m done cooking every day!!
Is it even healthy to lay away food for so long?
Love it!!!
Black plastic is made from recycled, electronic, super toxic, super dangerous
microwave👀💀💀
I dnt know what’s the purpose of this food prep for months… I get it for cupple days or a week but There’s nothing much fresh about putting food away on freezer for months 😂😂😂 you still gonna lose most if not all of the nutrients, quality and I thought that was the main reason for eating… so crazy so much people in the comments applauding this!!! People certain bacteria 🦠still grow in freezer
