I will always and forever be an advocate for leftovers for lunch. It saves time, money and means you’re getting an extra healthy meal into your day. Choosing the right storage container is key though. below are some things to consider -

1. Size: Buy containers that are easily stackable in your fridge and freezer, and that will be easy to carry into work. Think about meal portion size too - make each container one meal so you can just grab and go.

2. Go for multi-purpose: Choose a container that can do it all - go in the fridge, freezer, microwave and dishwasher. Always make sure you check the instructions first as some lids may need to be removed before microwave, oven or dishwasher.

3. Go non-toxic: Try to steer clear of plastic containers as there is just not enough evidence out there to know whether any of that plastic can leach into our food. Go for glass containers.
