How I Store and Keep Meal Prep Fresh 🍗🍚🍝
Showing you all how I store meals in the fridge and freezer to maximize flavor and freshness!
1.) whatever I plan to eat within the next 3-4 days goes straight into the fridge
2.) the rest of the meals go into the freezer, where they can last up to 6 months
3.) pick a meal from the fridge and reheat it in the microwave; I keep the lid on and slightly off-center to allow the meal to steam
4.) transfer a meal from the freezer to the fridge and place it in the back of the line; this gives it 1-2 days to defrost before reheating
5.) as I cook fresh meals for dinners throughout the week, I turn leftovers into extra meal prep
6.) I add these extra meals into the freezer and fridge to create even more of a variety
7.) I try to meal prep 2-3 different meals a week in addition to cooking 2-3 fresh homemade dinners a week; this gives us at least 4-6 different meals to choose from
8.) repeat the cycle and enjoy!

hey guys so I just prepped a bunch of meals let me show you how I store them so I put them into stacks of various meal types if I’m making different meals then I clear a space in the fridge whatever I’ll eat within 3 to 4 days I’ll put in the fridge the rest I’ll store in the freezer here you can see me storing a variety of meals in the fridge that way I’m not eating the same thing every day the rest I’ll place in the freezer and these last up to 6 months as I get leftovers throughout the week I’ll add them into meal prep containers and store them in the fridge and freezer that way we have a variety when it comes time to eat one I’ll take one from the front of the line of the fridge heat it up in the microwave and here you can see I left the lid slightly open then I’ll take one from the freezer and then transfer it to the fridge in the back of the line that way it gets about a day to defrost and that’s it take care guys

You should know processed carbs, sugars and seed oils are worse than smoking
Do you get your meal prep containers on Amazon?
Finally, someone shows us how prepped food is stored. I was just wondering, does the food taste fresh at the point of warming it?
I can’t imagine how much radiation your body is fighting. It’s a great idea but maybe prepping an uncooked meal, freezing it to make cooking easier and faster would be safe for me
Where do you get the containers may I ask? I saw some for like 15 bucks but they didn't look the same
do you run into freezer burn issues sotring them this way?
ALL MICROBIAL GROWTH COMES TO A STOP IN FREEZER IF THE FOOD IS ABOUT TO SPOIL IN 5 HOURS THEN QUICKLY PUT IT IN THE FREEZER, AND WHEN U TAKE IT OUT AFTER WEEKS OR DAYS IT WOULD STILL BE IN A STATE WHERE IT SPOILS IN 3 -4 HOURS SO.. FREEZER IS TOTALLY SAFE
Please, Please, Please get yourself some glass containers!!! You are not suppose to heat plastic in the microwave!!! You are actually eating plastic and toxic chemicals every time you do this.
The only thing I'm against is microwaving that's why I don't meal prep I need help I want to do it
6 months sound too long and unsafe, unless you are using preservatives in your food. If anybody is meal prepping, I would definitely double check the safe storage food guidelines before you wait six months to eat frozen food.
I do the same thing BUT I leave the lid off and vacuum seal them for the freezer (they stack better and last longer without getting freezer burn). Then I plop them onto a plate to heat. (Heating plastic = no bueno)
How do u keep them from gettimg too watery?
for a busy medical student like me….this is gold… i cook for a week then freeze it and finish within a week…
storing in freezer is better than fridge? for a week?
My comment is so off topic🤭…I love the idea, but I focused on the Lumpia Wrappers!! 😂😂😂😂I LOVE lumpia! Anyhoo, great idea for preventing food from going bad.
😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤
Please transfer them to a plate or glass container to heat them in the microwave. Pthalates and toxins from plastics are a real damage to our health.
Dang—you eat a lot of plastic
Bro cooked one day for half a year 🤴
Great recipe. I also make simple recipes. Please follow my page ❤
I would love to have your recipes
Meal prep final boss 😂
Aren't those harmful, as plastic leaves microns when heated
Cool
Great idea! I put dates on what I put in the freezer, just to make sure. Sometimes things get forgotten…
Hi please help were do I get cooked food containers
6 months?!!!! 😂
Also heating up plastic in microwave is bad news.
Black plastic is carcinogenic fyi. ESPECIALLY when heated.
I don’t meal prep no more. U almost force yourself to eat. I try to fast more. And not into eating so much. No more than 3 days of food for me. And eat fresh
My food loose teat after 1 week in the freezer, what can I do to stop that
That’s what I do too.
What meals do you freeze?
