What is meal prep and how does it work?

Meal prep is when you cook meals ahead of time so you have food ready for the next few days. Instead of cooking daily, you make several portions at once and keep them in the fridge or freezer.

How long does meal prep last in the fridge?

Most meal prep dishes last about 3 to 4 days in the fridge if you use airtight containers. If you want them to last longer, it’s best to freeze the extra portions.

Can you freeze meal prep meals?

Yes, many meal prep dishes freeze well, especially things like stews, rice meals, or pasta. Let the food cool, put it in sealed containers, and defrost it in the fridge before reheating.

What meals are best for meal prep?

Meals that store and reheat easily work best, like rice bowls, pasta, stews, or simple chicken dishes. Recipes with sauces or grains usually keep their texture better over a few days.
