Wanting to eat healthy or change your diet? Are you currently in a busy season of life and need to start meal prepping for yourself or for you and your family? Wanting to just step up your meal prepping game? Let’s talk about the essential meal prep tools that you must have in your kitchen!
Meal prepping is something that I do weekly. If I do not meal prep for my family and I there is a good chance we will either order out or simply just eat junk instead of the healthy, nutritious foods that our bodies need to stay fueled and running throughout the day.
As a busy mom of three under three it is important for me to keep my body healthy and running at full compacity at all times. With that being said I am constantly meal prepping healthy, delicious, and nutritious meals for my family.

Tools
Let’s jump into the tools that are needed to make meal prepping quick and efficient during your busy season of life!
1. Clear acrylic menu board
This is so you can keep yourself in line to see what you have already planned out for the week OR a nice way to remind your family what you will be having for the week!
2. Grocery list that sticks to the refrigerator
I always like to have a grocery list close to the refrigerator or one that sticks to the refrigerator so then we can write down the grocery item we need write away instead of thinking about it and then forgetting about the item we need.
3. 7×11 Pan
Perfect for casseroles
4. Lunch Meal Prep Containers
This is great for if you are working and want to meal prep lunch for yourself!
5. Overnight Oats Containers
6. Measuring Cups and Spoons
7. Liquid Measuring Cups
8. Mixing Bowls with lids
9. Caraway Nonstick Ceramic Cookware Set (12 Piece) Pots, Pans, 3 Lids and Kitchen Storage – Non Toxic, PTFE & PFOA Free – Oven Safe & Compatible with All Stovetops
10. Calphalon 10-Piece Pots and Pans Set, Stainless Steel Kitchen Cookware
11. Stainless Steel Utensils
12. Crock-Pot Large 8 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker with Auto Warm Setting
13. Freezer Bags
Conclusion
Meal prepping tools are normally the essentials you need in the kitchen. When it comes to storing items in the freezer, I tend to use my glass pans with a lid. This will keep my meals nice and sealed for up to SIX months.
As you can see not many items are needed to meal prep it is simply just taking the steps and getting started!
