Fitness food prep – 5 ways to up your packed lunch game

If you’re not new to the meal prep game, we’d hazard a guess that you might be getting slightly bored—not only because a week of meal prep usually consists of the same one or two recipes on repeat, but also because the process of making those meals can be totally uninspiring. 

Add to that a greasy, leaking line-up of mid-tier food containers contaminating your bag and the bore multiplies. Finally, throw in in the challenge of keeping fit, and your current meal prep game might just be a recipe for a bad time.  

But, do not despair—we’re here to up your packed lunch game with some genuinely delicious fitness food prep. Here are 5 fresh recipes to get your lunchtimes back on track. But first, make sure you get your hands on our food pots and accessories to level up your on-the go eating experience.
