10 Most Practical Meal Prep Bags — Enjoy Fresh Homemade Food All Day Long!

A good meal prep bag is not only suitable for a particular age class, it should be versatile enough to be ideal for everyone. Fortunately, the ThinkFit Insulated Lunch Box perfectly ticks this box as it’s designed to fit both adults and children. When it comes to the specifications, this bag contains six microwave and freezer-safe meal boxes. To reduce your cleaning time, the included meal boxes are also dishwasher-safe. And if you’re thinking about the carrying convenience, the bag comes with a shoulder strap that makes it more than portable.

Like we’ve already mentioned, the package contains six meal boxes, which are two 1.5-cup serving size and four 2.5-cup serving size. It also includes one shaker cup with three storage containers, an ice pack, and one push button vitamin pill box with seven compartments. The bag boasts of a double insulation system, which helps maintain the food’s optimal temperature until eating time. Moreover, the bag is very sturdy and features a double-stitched strap handle to help prevent mechanical wear and tear.

The included containers are also leak-proof, which helps prevent accidental spill and preserves the initial taste of the food as well. Not only that, but the bag also has a side zipper pouch for holding protein shakes and a water bottle. With all these features, the bag is one of the most versatile models on our list. Probably the only downside we found is the fact that the shoulder strap might seem too short for taller individuals.

Lest we forget – the bag comes with three BPA-free containers, which are microwave and dishwasher-friendly. Besides the containers, it also comes with ice packs and padded shoulder straps as well.

In addition to two external mesh pockets, the ISOBAG also comes with two zippered, insulated side pockets. Not only that, but it also features a small mesh pocket at the top of the bag. And for carrying convenience, comes the bag with a padded shoulder strap.

From all indications, this meal prep bag is specifically made for the outdoors.

Who said a meal prep bag should look like you’re heading to the gym? The 6 Pack Fitness Renee Leather Tote is an awesome example of how both attractive and practical a meal prep bag can be. Despite the manufacturer describes it as a women’s model mainly, we don’t see any reason for it not to be unisex. This super-stylish lunch bag allows you to carry the meals for a complete workday (four meals/eight hours) while also allowing you to store your commuter accessories and office gear. Not only is it stylish, but also convenient as well, making it one of the best options you must consider when looking to buy a meal prep bag that will allow you to eat healthy while you’re at work.

In addition, the Renee leather lunch bag has an insulated modular core system, which is preloaded with four snap lid containers one sport nutrition compact to organize supplement pills and three gel packs to make meals fresh and organized for more than eight hours. There is also a large, zippered primary compartment which includes an inner sleeve that will contain tablets and laptops measuring up to thirteen inches, along with organizational pockets for essentials like your wallet, keys, phone, music player, and more.

As if all those weren’t enough, the manufacturer also included three external zippered pockets to keep your frequently used items. There are also two more pockets on the side for storing your favorite healthy snacks. As for the disadvantages, the bag seems to be too heavy, at four pounds. Moreover, it’s actually overpriced, considering that the materials it is made of are of average quality.

What we liked:

• Super stylish design
• Convenient to use
• Comes with four snap lid containers
• Has multiple pockets to store essentials
• Suitable for both men and women
• Other design options available

Made by one of the leading manufacturers in the industry, the Isolator Fitness 6 Meal Insulated Lunch Bag is another top-notch product on this list. Featuring well-insulated compartments, this lunch bag promises to keep your food at maximum temperature for twelve to sixteen hours. Sporting a unique design which consists of individual compartments, this bag is capable of accommodating various sizes of meal boxes. And it’s also one of the best meal prep bags for family traveling, thanks to its spacious construction.

Furthermore, the lunch bag comes with two meshed exterior pockets which allows you to carry snack bars, for instance. It also features an extra insulated pocket on top of the bag. If you’re looking to store your vitamin pills or a single meal, then the top pocket could be suitable.

To maintain cooler temperatures, the bag comes with three ice packs which are called ISOBRICKS by the manufacturer. This model also boasts of a carrying handle and a padded shoulder strap, which allows you carry it easily. While this bag is a little costly, it is worth the price as it comes with extra perks like a 200 plus-paged meal prep encyclopedia and a cookbook for recipes.

The only drawback is that the boxes included are of low quality, which you may have to replace after only a couple of months. Also, note that the bag is quite bulky to take it along with you on a daily basis.

What we liked:

• The included food containers are BPA-free and leak proof
• Properly insulated to keep your food temperatures for 12 to 16 hours
• Carrying handle and shoulder strap for added convenience

If you’re looking for something that seamlessly combines style and convenience, then the Fit & Fresh JAXX Quilted Meal Prep Yoga Bag should be your top consideration. This super-versatile quilted meal prep bag is designed to help you enjoy healthy meals on-the-go. Despite having a soft texture, it is still durable, and comes in a nylon, black fabric that looks super cool, whether you are headed to the gym or the office.

• Convenient to use

What could be better:

If you don’t like that, however, the cooler bag has a comfortable handle with which it can be conveniently carried.

Disappointingly, the company is accused of false advertising, as the pictures of the bag make it seem as if it comes with some plastic containers. Sadly, it doesn’t come with any container whatsoever. Besides, it doesn’t hold a good shape, especially if there are no containers in it.

What we liked:

• Comes with many pocket
• Easy to carry around
• Ideal for both men and women
• Has a large capacity
• Has a beautiful and elegant design

This product is a thermal bag that perfectly blends the convenience required to carry your meals with an elegant and modern design that allows you to use it nearly anywhere. Besides, the high-performance thermal insulation of the bag will keep your snacks and meal at the perfect temperature for long.

Furthermore, the manufacturer has made this meal prep bag in two different sizes, which makes it ideal for different people. For instance, you can use the small bag if you only want to carry your personal food on the go and you can use the larger bag if you want to carry food for yourself and other people. Of course, the two sizes come in the same package, and it isn’t overly expensive, so you don’t need to worry about making any compromise.

The bag is constructed with high-density polyester 300D, which is an incredible strong material, especially for making bags. If you are looking for a premium-quality bag that won’t cost you a lot, then you can’t look beyond this bag. However, while this bag has a quite good insulation, it preservers cold meals better than warm ones. Thanks to this, it’s not really a great option for lunch boxes.

• Looks elegant and modern
• High-performance thermal insulation
• Convenient to carry

What could be better:

• Not great for lunch boxes
