If there’s any New Year’s resolution that sparks some productivity, creative thinking and ends in deliciousness, it’s meal prepping.

Made a worldwide phenomenon in recent years, meal prepping not only saves us time (especially for the 9-to-5ers — you know who you are) but automatically creates a fun weekend adventure with each new recipe added to your “to make” list.

Having prepared meals to take out for lunch means no more working until noon and wondering, “What’s for lunch?”

But, to champion your weekends and meal prep like a pro, you need the best meal prep containers for the job. Sure, you may be thinking, “They’re just containers!” However, once you devote yourself to grilling chicken, steaming broccoli (perhaps in the fan-favorite Always Pan we reviewed) and dicing up veggies, you’ll come to realize how important durable, quality containers are.

From budget options that come in bulk to glass meal prep containers with different colored lids to organize your meals from Monday to Friday, see the 20 best meal prep containers we rounded up below.

After detailing our favorites, we also included some sworn-in meal prep recipes we tried to give you some cooking inspiration.
