Meal prepping is such a good idea in theory. We love the concept of having our food prepped and ready to go so we don't have to think about it during the week. It's nice to know that we have healthy, already-made meals at our disposal, but the actual prep part of meal prepping can trip us up. The best way to solve this kind of issue is to be prepared, as ironic as that may be. If you're stocked with the right meal-prep containers, the entire process becomes that much easier.

Whether you're prepping chia pudding, chicken and vegetables, or a great big salad, you're going to want to have these at your disposal, if you're cooking for one or a whole family.
