Have you noticed friends who always have a container of baby
carrots or almonds placed in their bag, who pack their lunch every day? These
are the meal preppers in your life.
Meal prep is a trend in the fitness world that is making it
easier for people to stick to their nutrition goals. When people make a week’s
worth of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks ahead of time, it means that
a healthy meal is always within grasp. There is never a need to head to the
drive-thru when dinner is already prepared, or push quarters into a vending
machine when healthy snacks are packed and ready to eat.
Having the right tools makes the job quicker and easier.
Show the meal prepper in your life that you support their goals with a gift
that will simplify their life. Here are some thoughtful gifts that they
will
love.
Wide-Mouth Mason Jars
Not only are Mason jars absolutely trendy, their
upright shape makes them particularly nice for storing salads. When you place
the dressing at the bottom of the jar, and the greens at the top, nothing gets
soggy! Wide-mouth jars are the easiest to use for meal prep.
Silicon Muffin Pan
Egg cups, oatmeal cups, and healthy muffins are perfect for
meal prep because they store well and it’s easy to make a week’s worth of breakfasts
or snacks all at once. Foods pop right out of them, and they’re a breeze to
clean.
A Good Blender
A person who meal preps uses a blender to make smoothies,
soups, and salad dressings, just to mention a few. The Nutribullet is my
recommendation.
Multi-Cooker
Why buy a separate rice cooker, slow cooker, steamer, and
pressure cooker for meal prep, when this wonderful appliance does it all?
Glass Food Storage
Containers
Numerous days of meals necessitate a lot of food storage
containers. Any meal prepper will be pleased to receive glass containers with
leak-proof lids.
Hard-Boiled Egg
Cooker
Hard-boiled eggs are a superb, inexpensive protein for meal
prep. But boiling eggs in water, though simple, requires attention and perfect
timing. This extra-large hard-boiled egg cooker from Cuisinart makes it easy to
cook enough for the whole week.
Spice Kit
An assortment of seasonings makes it a lot easier to eat
chicken or fish every day and not get bored. They make things taste good
without adding calories, and you can use a different flavor for each meal.
Salad Spinner
When making salads several days in advance, it’s important
that lettuce doesn’t have excess moisture, or it will wilt.
That's all for now .... I am sure YOU would love at least one of these gifts!
