Best Storage Containers For Meal Prep And Leftovers

Glass is my go-to for anything you plan to reheat, especially saucy meals like my One Pot Ground Beef Pasta.

It works well for layered meals, casseroles, and dishes with sauces. The sturdy material also stacks safely in the fridge.

I prefer glass for reheating, but lightweight BPA-free plastic works best for school lunches and snacks.

They stack neatly, travel easily, and are ideal for portioning fruit, veggies, or dry snacks for the week.

Silicone bags have become increasingly popular and for a good reason.

They’re versatile and durable, moving easily from freezer to microwave to dishwasher. Their airtight seal helps food stay fresh longer.

Great for freezing veggies, especially if you enjoy recipes like my Roasted Zucchini and Squash.

Mason jars are a classic choice for liquids and layered meals.

They’re perfect for meal prep salads, soups, and sauces. Tight-sealing lids help ingredients stay fresh and crisp.

These are ideal for storing family-style leftovers like rice, chicken, roasted vegetables or pasta.

The locking lid keeps everything airtight and fresh for up to four days.
