Start Preppin’

As an M&F reader, you probably know a thing or two about meal prepping. If not, it’s high time you plan out a meal prep day. It will ultimately save you time and money. It takes work, but once you’ve adapted to the lifestyle there’s no going back to brown bags. Here’s some inspiration from some Instagrammers we’ve seen living the “tublife.”
