Do you remember before the pandemic hit and life seemed more organized and predictable? You know, that mythical time when your pants still fit and you had your morning routine on lock? Time to get that back with some meal prep magic.
Not to brag, but we’re sort of experts in this department. Before TGK was TGK, our founder Amber Lewis was the neighborhood meal-prepper. It started with a simple desire to make good eating a no-brainer by preparing ready-to-eat meals with responsibly sourced ingredients. After tasting her recipes, friends and family started to put in orders. Eventually, local gyms started stocking up on Amber’s meals to help people optimize their nutrition. Before too long, she was on a mission to provide delicious and nutritious meals to everyone far and wide.
RIP sad desk lunches and pizza-binges for dinner. Hello effortless eating.
Ready to try it out for yourself? Here’s the quickest way to get started with no-fuss meal prepping!
1. Set Your Goals
Meal prepping is a strategy to help you achieve all your food goals. For it to be effective, those goals have to be specific. Get granular about what you want to accomplish with meal prepping and what you want out of your diet more generally, beyond just saving time and eliminating decision fatigue. Are you looking to build muscle, maintain, or lean out? Do you want to incorporate more local produce into your diet? Are you optimizing for a certain nutrient (like protein) or micronutrient (like magnesium)? This is a good time to assess other ambitions for your eating life too. For instance, maybe there’s a culinary skill you want to master or a CSA you’ve been thinking about joining.
If you’re like us, there are about a million things that could qualify as food goals (Eat seasonally! Nail that tricky sauce recipe! Use an InstaPot without fear of blowing up your kitchen!). Once you’ve brainstormed –– or put it all on a vision board, if that’s your thing –– start simplifying and bring it back to reality. Remember that you won’t be a completely different person when you start meal prepping, and take note of your current habits and preferences to set yourself up for success. If you already know you hate the texture of cooked vegetables after they’ve spent a few days in the fridge, don’t expect that to change. Instead, prepare and pre-portion vegetables to steam on-demand at mealtime. If you’re someone who seeks a lot of variety, lean into that instead of bulk-cooking 20 chicken-and-broccoli meals.
Here are the goals I set for myself for my last meal-prep, to give you an idea: Make nine ready-to-eat meals, including five lunches and four dinners for $60 or less. Include at least two seasonal vegetables and at least 18 grams of fiber between lunch and dinner. Throw calorie-counting out the window, but make smaller portions by slightly underfilling containers to avoid post-meal energy slumps.
Okay, have your goals in hand? Time for step two:
2. Build Your Toolkit
You have a goal, now you need the tools. While any containers will do, choosing a set that’s custom-designed for the job can be tremendously helpful for planning your meals. Buying the right gear can also be motivating: If your containers are just sitting there ready to be filled, who are you to put off the work for another week? We recommend getting pre-portioned glass or ceramic containers with a high-quality seal and a vent for reheating.
Other essential tools for meal prepping include baking pans (multiple), a large soup pot (preferably an InstaPot), a sauté pan, a good knife (Amber gives her recommendations here), and a large cutting board. If you plan on going deep and prepping for multiple weeks at a time, you could also consider investing in a vacuum sealer.
Now it’s time for the real work.
3. Cook Strategically
Over the years, we’ve learned a few things that can streamline your experience in the grocery store and in the kitchen. We hope they help you as much as they’ve helped us!
COOK FROM A TEMPLATE
To keep things simple and organized, use a template like the one below when creating meals from scratch.
Basic Meal Components:
- Protein [tempeh, eggs, ground beef]
- Complex Carbohydrates [quinoa, sweet potato, chickpeas]
- Leafy Greens [kale, spinach, collards y’all]
- Veggies [cauliflower, carrots, brussel sprouts]
- Nuts/Seeds/Fats [walnuts, hemp seeds, avocado]
- Dressing/Sauce [chimichurri, tahini, green curry sauce]
An Example Meal:
- Ground Beef
- Spaghetti Squash
- Sauteed Spinach
- Broccoli
- Walnut Pesto
CHOOSE A THEME
Sticking to one cuisine can be a good way to shorten your grocery list. For instance, you may decide on a Meditteranean theme for the week, prepping baked falafel salads for lunch and halibut for dinner, both with olives, tomatoes, and artichokes. By choosing recipes with overlapping ingredients but unique flavors, you save time and money without sacrificing variety.
EXPLORE ONE-POT AND SHEET-PAN RECIPES
They slash cleaning time. They save you oven space. They’re single-dish recipes, and they’re the MVPs of meal prep. Here are a few that we love, gathered from around the internet:
Sheet-Pan Meals:
Sausage and Root Vegetable Hash
Barbecue Chipotle Pork
Butternut Tofu
One-Pot Meals:
One-Pot Chicken Chili Verde
Morrocan Chickpea Quinoa Salad
Basil Chicken Coconut Curry

We’re all about the saying, “Let thy food be thy medicine.” But it’s very different when there’s actual medicine in our food. That, we are not all about. So today, we’re covering the problem of antibiotics in the food supply, and why choosing antibiotic-free food is at the heart of responsible sourcing.
Why are Antibiotics in Our Foods Anyway?
Our food system is great at producing massive amounts of food on the cheap. But making cheap food often comes with hidden costs, and that’s the case when it comes to industrial animal farming (think: fast food chicken, not the grassfed, grass-finished steak you bought from your local butcher). Around 99% of animals raised for food in America are raised on industrial farms – aka “factory farms" – where they live in crowded, often unsanitary conditions. This sort of environment is bad news for animals’ immune systems, and is a prime breeding ground for pathogens.
To keep animals alive in these unnatural environments, agribusiness companies have developed a habit of doling out antibiotics to animals like daily vitamins, even if the animals aren’t sick. While estimates vary greatly and data collection is difficult, even conservative industry estimates state that the majority (60%) of antibiotics produced in the U.S. are given to farm animals. The Union of Concerned Scientists estimates a much higher number at around 90%. This is bad news for public health, but it’s a win-win for the companies: the antibiotics keep animals alive in otherwise deadly environments and help them gain more weight in a shorter time, since some antimicrobials promote greater nutrient absorption. This isn’t just delaying consequences. It’s compounding them. Bacteria have a knack for adapting and building resistance to antibiotics when they’re regularly exposed, and that’s exactly what’s happening on these farms.
In the U.S., 88% of pigs receive antibiotics like tetracyclines in their feed for disease prevention and growth promotion purposes
Unfortunately, what happens on the farm doesn’t stay on the farm. Antibiotic-resistant superbugs bred in factory farms can infect humans too.
What's the Risk?
The way antibiotic resistance is transferred from animals to humans involves a complex web of interactions and potential transmission points. Put simply, transmission can happen directly or indirectly. Consuming foods that contain antibiotic-resistant bacteria or antibiotic residues can contribute to resistance (Consumer Reports revealed that nearly half of all chicken that’s sold is contaminated with antibiotic-resistant campylobacter). Contact with farm animals or farm workers can also directly transmit resistance. People can also be indirectly exposed just by existing in an area where there is a “resistance reservoir” in the environmental biome – which can be created by the spread of animal waste from factory farms into the environment.
In addition, recent research shows that DNA segments associated with drug resistance can jump between different species and strains of bacteria “with disturbing ease.” This means that cultivating antibiotic resistance in one bacterial strain in one location can lead to resistance in a totally different strain, far from the farm or hospital where the resistant genes originated. As such, the bacteria brewing in factory farms affects the usefulness of antibiotics across the globe.
Already, at least 2 million Americans get an antibiotic-resistant infection every year, and at least 23,000 don’t survive these infections, according to the CDC. Globally, conservative estimates indicate that antibiotic-resistance kills 700,000 people per year, and public health organizations are raising the alarm about the growing threat of antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotics are a public trust. They allow humans to combat otherwise deadly infections. So why are we allowing animal agribusiness to play chicken with the growing threat of antibiotic resistance? As public health experts push for policy change, we as eaters can take a stand by taking antibiotics off of our plates. In doing so, we’re telling companies that we value public health and animal welfare more than we value cheap hamburgers –– all by simply eating good food.
At TGK, we’ve been committed to sourcing antibiotic-free meat from day one. For more information on our sourcing standards, click here.
