Why Your Meal Prep Containers Matter

Your meal prep container selection matter more than you may think. Not only is it important to hold your food but they also need to maintain food safety, quality, and consistency.

You don’t want to be selecting a plastic container if you plan on heating your food up in it but you also don’t want to be using container that is too small for your salad!

What to Look for in a Meal Prep Container

The Best Plastic Meal Prep Containers

You likely heard plastic isn’t a great option for food that needs to be microwaved, but it does still carry some positive attributes!

They tend to be more affordable, lightweight, and not as breakable with a fall!

The Best Glass Meal Prep Containers

Glass containers are great because you can store your food in them and pop them right into the microwave to heat it up!

Another great aspect is that the flavors and colors of the food won’t leech and stain the container. Think: spaghetti sauce forever embedded into a plastic container.

The Best Meal Prep Containers for Freezing

If you are going to freeze your meal prep, consider using a silicone container. The flexibility allows you to easily press out your frozen prep.

In addition to the silicone, there are marking on the inside if you need to know exactly how much you are having!

The Best Meal Prep Containers for Salads

People love to recommend a mason jar as a salad container but I find those hard to pack, hard to eat out of, and hard to clean!

Instead, I love these for their large size and ability to separate any foods that you may not want to touch others until right before consumption!

The Best Meal Prep Containers for Sauces and Dips

I always like to keep my sauces, dressings, and dips in a separate container so my meal doesn’t get soggy by the time I am ready to eat.

The Best Meal Prep Containers for Snacks

It is always great to have at least two options in a snack so these containers have multiple compartments. You can have something like cheese and pretzels or carrots and ranch!

A Dietitian’s Tips and Tricks for Meal Prep Success

There are a few ways to prepare food! Some prefer to store each item separately and some like to make each container a full meal.

For example, let’s pretend to meal prep taco bowls. One person may have the rice, taco meat, corn, and lettuce in separate containers while someone else may add a little of each to their containers, making each container a full taco bowl meal!

There’s also the amount you want to consider! Some people cannot stand having the same meals more than three days in a row while others may be fine having the same meal for a week!

In the end, the best way to meal prep is the way that works for you!

A Word From a Registered Dietitian

Meal prep can be a great, efficient way to stick to your goals whether they are to eat ‘healthier’ or spend more time doing other activities.

The right containers, realistic portions, and foods you actually enjoy can help meals stay fresh, safe, and satisfying. Prep what fits your routine (even just a few components!), and remember: consistency beats perfection every time.

• Big Mac Bowl
• Cheesy Vegetarian Enchiladas
• Stuffed Pepper Casserole

The Best Containers for Meal Prep From Amazon Key Takeaways

• Choose the proper container for your intended purpose.
• Certain containers are better at holding certain foods than others but at the end of the day if it works for you, it works.
• Consider what type of prepping you will be doing to ensure you have the proper containers.

Why You’ll LOVE This Recipe

You are going to LOVE this recipe because it combines earthy walnuts, caramel-y dates, and sweet chocolate for a bite of everything you’re looking for.

These walnut stuffed dates taste like dessert but you are still getting omega-3’s from the walnuts and fiber from the dates. Not to mention all the other nutrition both add!

When to Have Walnut Stuffed Dates

Have these on hand for when you need a sweet treat, an after-lunch dessert, or desire you want a healthier option!

You can even make extras and store in the freezer. That way, you can have one (or a few!) whenever you’d like!

Ingredients

The main ingredients you’ll need are:

Dates– Pitted dates would be easiest to use!

Walnuts– Halves and pieces allow for easier stuffing.

Flaky Salt– This is not required but add a delicious touch.

Of course you’ll also need some chocolate!

How to Make Walnut Stuffed Dates Dipped in Chocolate

Start by opening your date lengthwise, if not already. If there is a pit remove it. Then, grab your chopped walnuts and stuff into the opening of the date.

Melt your chocolate by adding them to a microwave-safe bowl and warm up in 15 second increments, stirring in between. If the chocolate is not becoming smooth add a dab of coconut oil.

Dip the walnut stuffed date in the melted chocolate and immediately sprinkle on the flaky salt.

Pop these in the freezer for about 15 minutes so the chocolate can harden. Then, you can enjoy!

Expert Tips and Tricks

I’ve made these a few times now and have come up with some tips to help make it successful:

• Be sure to only microwave in short increments, and stir in between. You want the chocolate to be in the microwave for the least amount of time possible!
• Use fresh dates. Once they get older they shrivel up a bit!
• Pick up pitted dates so you don’t need to remove the pit yourself.
• make a ton of these ahead of time. trust me. A time of craving will come and you’ll want them immediately. You’ll thank your past self!

Why You’ll LOVE These Cookies

You are going to LOVE these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar! I have made these cookies many times and shared them with friends and family. They all have given great comments on them!

They taste as if they are a no-bake cooke (which, who doesn’t love) but also have the great flavor from being a baked cookie. In addition, there are a bit more chocolate chips than a classic cookie recipe would use. This is a major positive for me!

When to Make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Make these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies when you are craving a no-bake, don’t have brown sugar on hand, or just want a delicious batch of cookies!

These are also a great option to bring to any gathering as many love chocolate chip cookies, but it’s less likely for someone else to bring ones with oats.

Ingredients

Most of these ingredients will be ones you already have in your kitchen! This means you may be able to make a batch without having to run to the store.

Oats– Be sure to use old fashioned oats!

Chocolate Chips– I used semi-sweet.

Sugar– There’s no brown sugar in this recipe. You’ll need granulated sugar!

In addition, you’ll need: baking soda, baking powder, salt, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, butter, an egg, and vanilla extract.

How to Make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Without Brown Sugar

To start making any cookie recipe be sure to grab out all of your ingredients to ensure they are at proper temperature (and you don’t need to make a last minute trip to the store!). Also, preheat your oven so it is up to temperature when you are ready to pop the cookies in.

In a medium bowl combine the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Then, set this aside.

In a large bowl pop in the sugar and room temperature butter. Use a hand mixer to cream together. Then, while continuing to mix, add the egg, and vanilla extract.

Continue to use the hand mixer to slowly combine the medium bowl of dry ingredients into the large bowl of wet ingredients.

Then, mix in the chocolate chips! This can be down using the hand mixer or a large spoon.

Use a cookie scoop to pop equal portions of dough on a baking sheet. You can either leave them as-is or use your palm to flatten them- the choice is yours!

Bake these cookies for about 10 minutes, allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Expert Tips and Tricks

By testing this recipe quite a few times I’ve come up with a few tips and tricks to help ensure your batch also comes out delicious.

• Be sure to use old fashioned oats, not quick oats.
• If you want extra chocolate, you can add an addition ¼ cup of chocolate chips.
• Oats and salt pair deliciously. If you want, top these cookies with flaky salt.
• If you want a bit more depth of flavor add a touch of maple syrup.

If you discover any tips and tricks that improve your cookies be sure to leave it in the comments down below so I can give it a go, too!

Additions and Substitutions

Here are some delicious addition and substitution ideas:

• Try reducing the sugar and in place adding honey.
• Use half white chocolate chips and half milk chocolate chips.
• Use a gluten free flour to make these a completely gluten free cookie recipe.
• Chill this dough before cooking to get a thicker result.

Keep in mind that these are nearly ideas and have not been tested! If you do give them a go, let me know how it turns out in the comments down below.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

If your question hasn’t been answered yet so far, you may find it here! If your question isn’t answered here leave it in the comments down below so I can get you an answer!

What is a substitute for brown sugar in oatmeal chocolate chip cookies?

These cookies tend to use brown sugar. In place of brown sugar these cookies use granulated sugar.

Are these cookies sugar free?

No, these cookies are not sugar free. There is classic granulated sugar rather than the typical use of brown sugar.

Are these cookies healthy?

These are not ‘healthified’ cookies. This is still a classic cookie with expected nutrition of a cookie.

A Word From a Registered Dietitian

Cookies don’t need to be ‘healthier’ in order to enjoy them. This oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe proves this! Sure, there’s no brown sugar but there is still regular granulated sugar!

On the flip side, the oats add fiber for staying power- a delicious cookie bonus! Remember, enjoyment is a key part of nourishing your body. Savor these cookies mindfully, share them with others, and know that all foods can fit into a balanced eating pattern.

You are going to love this muffin recipe because of how fluffy they get! They are incredibly fluffy, just as the name describes.

These muffins are a great option to make at the beginning of the week to add to your lunchbox, paired with yogurt for breakfast, or as a dessert!

When to Make Carrot Banana Muffins

Make a batch of two of Carrot Banana Muffins in the spring to enjoy whenever the craving strikes.

Sure, carrots may be more popular in the spring time but thankfully, they are available year-round! This means you can make these Carrot Banana Muffins whenever you’d like!

Ingredients

The main ingredients you want to be sure to have are:

Carrots– Grab regular carrots or baby carrots and grate them yourself for the best result.

Bananas– The more brown the more sweet!

In addition, you will need: eggs, vanilla extract, veggie oil, flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and nutmeg.

How to Make Carrot Banana Muffins

You can make these muffins in about 10 minutes!

Peel your carrots then shred them. Set them aside. Then, mash your banana and set aside.

Add all your wet ingredients to a bowl and dry ingredients to a second bowl. Pour your wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and combine.

Lastly, divide the mixture into the twelve spots of a greased muffin tin. Bake in the oven, allow to cool, and you’ve got a tasty snack!

Expert Tips and Tricks

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

If your question hasn’t been answered so far, you may find it here! If not, leave it in the comments down below and I will get you answer as soon as I am able to!

Are Carrot Banana Muffins healthy?

Healthy is a relative term! These muffins have a bit of carrot and banana in each muffin, which is better than none!

What are the black bits?

Fiber! The baking soda causes the fiber from the banana to darken! So, don’t worry if you see some black bits in these muffins- you can be reassured you’re getting in some fiber!

What should I eat with these muffins?

Try having these muffins with some Greek yogurt for breakfast, paired with a cheese stick as a more balanced snack, or crumbled over a bowl of vanilla ice cream as dessert!

How do I store Carrot Banana Muffins?

Store your Carrot Banana Muffins in an airtight container for up to three days. Unfortunately, any longer will make the muffins a bit too moist.

A Word From a Registered Dietitian

Sure, these aren’t a crazy high-protein, veggie-packed muffin but they don’t taste that way either!

These are a balanced muffin with some fruit and veggies but also with some added sugar to make them tasty.

What is Good Good Jam?

Good Good is known for it’s nutrition-focused jams and other products. There is no added sugar, non-GMO, plant based, and low glycemic!

In addition to jam they also offer a variety of spreads, jellies, and a butters!

Where to Buy Good Good Jam

Good Good jam is popping up at more and more places! I first grabbed a jar from Meijer but you can also find it at Walmart, Kroger, Family Fare, and Whole Foods.

If you don’t have one of these grocers near you, you can always grab it from Amazon or straight from their website.

I am sure as this brand becomes more popular and people discover how delicious it is, it will be more available!

Good Good Jam Nutrition

Here is the Nutrition Facts of a serving of their Blueberry Jam:

As you can see, there’s very minimal calories and in turn, minimal macronutrients. Compared to classic jam, with about 50 calories for the same serving, you get a whole lot larger of a serving for that amount of calories.

Good Good Jam Ingredients

There are only a couple ingredients in these jam’s:

Blueberries- This jam is 57% good ole’ blueberries!

Water- The next greatest amount ingredient is water.

Sweetener Mix- In place of sugar a mix of various sweeteners are used. The specific amounts of each aren’t specified but include erythritol and stevia extract.

Others- pectin, citric acid, rowanberry extract, lemon powder, and calcium citrates. These are ingredients to help keep the freshness and consistency of the jam.

Recipes and Ways to Use Good Good Jam

Some ways to use your jar of jam are to make a classic PB&J, top off a bowl of oatmeal, or add it to an english muffin.

Here are some recipes to use your jam in:

Peanut Butter and Jam Cake With Raspberries

Peanut butter and jam are great friends in a sandwich. They’re even better in this tender sour cream cake swirled with raspberry jam.

Blackberry doughnuts

Serve these blackberry doughnuts warm with custard, which goes particularly well with the zingy jam filling. They take a little effort but are so worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

If your questions about Good Good haven’t been answered so far, you may find it here! If your question remains unanswered, leave it in the comments down below and I’ll find your answer!

How much sugar is in regular jam?

The popular jam brand, Bonne Maman, has 12g of added sugar per tablespoon.

What is the best Good Good flavor?

The best jam flavor is subjective! So far, my favorite is blueberry!

Is Good Good good for diabetics?

Just like any food, a person with diabetes needs to take into account the carb content of the food they consume. Fortunately, this option has less carbs than classic jam, which may be beneficial.

A Word From a Registered Dietitian

As a registered dietitian, I often remind clients that not all jams are created equal. Traditional jams are typically high in added sugars, which can contribute to blood sugar spikes when consumed regularly. But can still have a place in a balanced diet.

Good Good jam stands out because it contains no added sugar and is sweetened with low-glycemic sweeteners, making it a better option for people managing blood sugar, following a low-carb lifestyle, or simply trying to reduce added sugar intake.

From a nutrition perspective, Good Good jam still provides the flavor and enjoyment of jam without the excessive added sugar. I especially recommend it for individuals with diabetes, those on keto or low-sugar diets, or anyone looking for a healthier alternative to conventional jam.

As always, pairing jam with fiber-rich foods and protein such as whole-grain toast and yogurt can help support more stable blood sugar levels.

Good Good Jam Review Key Takeaways

Here is the TL;DR version of this Good Good Jam Review:

• Good Good is very low in calories and has no added sugar
• You can purchase this jam at a growing number of retailers or through their website.
• The main ingredient in their recipe is the fruit!
• There are many delicious ways to enjoy jam!
• A dietitian recommends this brand of jam for its no added sugar.

My favorite way to enjoy this wrap is with a layer of Mayo, deli ham, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, then topped with a little dijon mustard.

Add all of these (or your favorite!) ingredients to a wrap, roll it up, and enjoy!

How To Tightly Roll a Wrap

Rolling a wrap is something that takes practice!

Be sure to have a larger wrap or less ingredients than you’d expect to ensure a tight roll.

Start by having the ingredients stacked on the front half of the wrap, fold in the sides, then bring the front of the wrap over both sides and all the ingredients. As you roll, keep pressing in the sides.

Here is a short clip of me wrapping this wrap so you can see it in action!

Expert Tips and Tricks

Now that I’ve made this a few times I’ve got some expert tips and tricks you can steal:

• Don’t overload the wrap! It can be easy to add too many ingredients and end up with a sandwich that won’t close. Even worse, it may rip and make a mess!
• Try heating up your wrap on the stovetop! Place the part where the wrap ends meet to get some additional texture but also help hold it closed!
• Meal prep your wraps! Keep the wet ingredients and dressing on the side to make sure it doesn’t get soggy.

Once you make a Ham and Cheese Wrap a few times you’ll be an expert, too. Be sure to leave your expert tips and tricks in the comments down below so I can give them a try!

Additions and Substitutions

Some additions to consider adding to your wrap are:

• Pickles
• Banana peppers
• Black olives
• Avocado

If any of the ingredients I use aren’t your favorite you can substitute them with:

• Spinach, arugula, or micro greens in place of the lettuce
• Tomato, spinach, or white wraps
• If you need a different sauce try out: Cesar, Italian, or a spreadable cheese!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

If you have a question that hasn’t been answered yet so far, you may find it here! If it goes unanswered be sure to leave it in the comments down below and I will get you an answer as I am able to.

How many calories are in a ham and cheese wrap?

The exact calories in this wrap can vary greatly based on the specific ingredients and their quantities! Some of the items that can add larger amounts of calories are the wraps, sauce, and cheese.

Can I air fry my ham and cheese wrap?

You can! Be sure to add your fresh produce afterwards!

Can I heat this on a frying pan?

Yes! It’s a great idea to heat the wrap where the closure happens- it helps secure your wrap.

A Word From A Registered Dietitian

This Simple ham and Cheese Wrap is the perfect example of how balanced eating doesn’t need to be complicated!

You are getting grains from the wrap, protein from the cheese, dietary fat from the cheese (and more protein!), and veggies from the toppings!

Have what you need and add what you want.

So, if you want some fruit, chips, pretzels, a cookie, etc. have it with your wrap! You’ve got both your nutrition needs and cravings covered.
