Question:

What meal prep containers do you recommend someone use for their clients?

— Toni Crawford

Answer:

Yeah, so glass is wonderful, but it is very expensive. And if you're using it for, um, you know, clients that's gonna add on quite a lot to the expense of this. Uh, you know, you can get into a system of reusing them, but then you have to keep track of them as well. You have to make sure that they're washed properly before reusing them. Um, they can't just give back to you, uh, you know, in any state. So you definitely want to, there's a lot of things to kind of think around those. Traditionally, um, people are using plastic for those and there's a lot of different varieties on plastic containers out there. You're really just kind of looking for what fits your budget. You're looking for something also that is non PBPA lined or have no BPA because, um, depending on what you're putting in it, those plastics can start to leach other materials into the food. Um, but yeah, there's a lot out there. Glass would be great, but it's just very cost prohibitive.
