Tips for prepping healthy lunches
- We’re huge fans of glass containers for packing our lunches as they’re great for reheating in the microwave, they don’t smell over time, and they are dishwasher-proof. Containers with dividers are great for keeping certain components of your meal separate.
- You’re most likely to prepare a healthy lunch if you make it right after you eat dinner, so that you won’t be hungry when making food choices for the next day’s lunch.
