Meal Prepping Essentials

I get lots of questions about meal prepping. It is an art let me tell you. It has taken me the past 4 years to get it down. I have failed many times. I used to spend 4+ hours cooking every Sunday but now I have gotten it down to where it is much easier and takes up a lot less time. So I wanted to share with you some of my essential tools I have used and still use that I love.

• 6 Pack Fitness: This was one of my first loves when it came to meal prepping. I used it in college and at my full time jobs. It holds 3 containers of food, 4 water bottles or shaker cups, and a container for pills or supplements. It keeps your food cold all day. I loved it because of the amount of storage. So if you are away from home for more than one meal this is a great investment. I never had any complaints about. Yes it is large but if it gets you to stay on course with your meal plan and not eat out; it is worth it.

• Energize: For much of my life age 16 and up I have lived off of energy drinks. I could drink 2+ Rockstars or Redbulls a day. I do not naturally create the energy to go long hours and work hard. I have always needed extra boosts. I found Energize and fell in love it is just as strong a Redbull but is made with all natural ingredients. It is also cheaper. I call it my "Mom Crack"
  
• Vacuum Thermos: My mother got my husband this awesome thermos. This is the perfect meal prep tools for soups or hot food. It is perfect if you want to keep your food warm and it actually works. It comes with 2 containers, a spork, and chopsticks.

• The Fixate Cookbook and Container System: This revolutionized how I viewed portion controls. I ate out of the container system for over a year. It is easy to use and in this kit it is paired with a matching cook booth with premeasured recipes. So if you want an easy solutions I highly suggest starting here. This system takes the hard thinking and planning out of the system. Fixate Kit
  
• Wonder Woman Shaker: I got this in a Secret Santa with my coaching team a few years back and I love it. The spiral circles really help mix up your shakes or drinks.
  

• Shakeology: My last suggestion is to add Shakeology to your daily meal plan. It replaces a snack or meal and gives you a daily dose of super food nutrition. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you know that I drink it every day and could not live with out it.I am including the link for my favorite flavor Café Latte. You can find the other flavors at this link as well. Cafe Latte Shakeology
