i portion them into these tupperware containers! i did have to buy a 5 cubic foot chest freezer to store them because they don't fit in my normal freezer lol. mine typically eat around 1-1.25 containers a day. the frozen ones do take about a day to thaw in the fridge so don't forget to transfer them ahead of time!
I’m meal prepping every week for work for me and my husband. Sometimes I can get really tasty pre-made things from Trader Joe’s (it’s a great little market that is everywhere in the US and super popular on the West Coast). A lot of the ingredients have come from that place. So far I’ve been doing:
Falafels in the air fryer, put that over cauliflower tortillas and included two sauce containers in the lunch container that contain one with hummus or tahini herb dip and one with cucumber yogurt sauce.
Roasted beef slices with gravy, mashed potatoes and roasted assorted veggies (peppers🌶, zucchini, red onions and squash)
Taco salad bowls that contain taco flavored ground beef, pico de Gallo mix, shredded cheddar cheese, fire roasted corn, black beans and guacamole salsa for the dressing because it’s thick and tasty.
Gyro “bowls” containing gyro slices (I find them at Costco or Trader Joe’s), fried slice of Halloumi cheese or feta slice, cauliflower tortilla, mini container of hummus, mini container of Tzatziki and sliced Persian cucumber.
> then break it into meal-size portions and freeze it.
This is what my wife and I do. You can freeze many different meals that will thaw very well (think TV dinners).
Just to add to your comment, we use containers like these to freeze complete meals (entree, potatoes, and veggies). Make sure to write the date on each lid so you can FIFO the meals.
Ya, we’ve been reusing these for like a year-ish.
These are a larger version of the flats cuz the size I use is unavailable, and these are the rounds. The key is to under fill them- I have split a couple in the past but none since I started leaving a thumb nail’s amount of room from the top. But it’s a one time investment because we reuse them.
Looks like they’re out of the 17 oz but have the 25 oz in stock.
I picked it up at my local Asian market, but I found a really similar one for you!!

I use a microwave soup bowl I bought off Amazon. The price has doubled since I originally bought it though.

I use pressed glass plates as saucers. They look nicer than plastic, have a nice high lip to hold the water and come in different sizes. I find them in thrift shops for about $1.
Grab a cheap Corelle bowl. For whatever reason, soap samples stick real well to the bowl when mashed down. And, since it's glass, you can stick the bowl in the dishwasher when finished with the sample and, viola!, no residual shave soap scent remains in the bowl.
