This clever $19 Kmart buy makes meal prepping a breeze

Standout in the office fridge

Behind-the-scenes with Sam Wood for Health of the Nation

Just as beautiful dining plates make you want to throw a dinner party for the ages, this clever meal-prepping set will have you ready to organise your entire life.

As we venture into February later this week, there’s never been a more appropriate time to check in on the year so far. It’s been four whole weeks of striving towards our 2024 resolutions and goals. 

For many, that means one month of finetuning new habits, such as early rising, healthy eating and homemade coffees. Regardless of your specific goals, it’s likely you’ve been trying your best to make 2024 the year of investing in your mental and physical health while minimising unnecessary spending and the rising cost of your weekly bills. 

So, if you need a little incentive to continue after month one of twelve, we’ve found the perfect (and cheap!) addition to your weekly routine to keep you and your goals on track.

The benefits of meal-prepping aren’t exactly a secret, with most people taking advantage of the kitchen hack throughout the working week. At a minimum, cooking in bulk and preparing your meals ahead of time alleviates your brain of the mental load of deciding what to eat each night after work. 

It also prevents unnecessary spending, such as the sub-par $20 sandwich on your lunch break, or succumbing to a takeout craving after a particularly exhausting hump day. 

Now, a new release from Kmart is set to make your life even less complicated when it comes to cooking and consuming your kitchen masterpieces.  Available in-store or online for just $19, this 5 Piece Glass Monday-Friday Meal Prep Set is the perfect addition to your Tupperware drawer. 

The containers are microwave, oven, dishwasher and freezer-safe, with the polypropylene lids boasting an air and water-tight guarantee. Each container holds up to one litre, meaning your office lunches won’t leave your stomach grumbling by 3 PM.

The Monday-to-Friday labelling on each lid helps keep track of each meal’s shelf life in the fridge. In other words, you can put the ‘must eat tomorrow’ leftovers in the right corresponding container, avoiding a risky game of chance when you find yourself packing your lunch. 

But, if you’re serious about transforming the state of your midweek lunches, Kmart’s very own food chopper is an equally worthy investment alongside the Monday-to-Friday containers. 

The multiple-attachment device is designed to tackle any multi-veggie recipe in minutes, from salsas and pico de gallos to rainbow-chopped salads from every corner of the globe. 

With the range of affordable gadgets and food storage options on offer, it’s never been easier (and more aesthetically pleasing) to keep your health and spending on track.
