If you’ve ever had the feeling that every corner of the internet is occupied by food, eating, wellness and recipes, know that you are not alone. While the endless barrage of vegan chocolate cookie recipes and skinny girl tacos can feel a bit overwhelming and unattainable, there is one corner of this foodie world that actually feels a bit like a real-person respite, and, dare we say - a place we want to be.
The meal prep gurus of Instagram have found a foodie format which is approachable, manageable and might actually make your life easier all the while saving you money. While there’s no shortage of dieticians and fitness coaches online, finding a meal prep influencer to take after is not as straightforward.
We’ve curated a list of 7 meal prep masters who might very well change your life. (Or, at the very least, make your feed much more colorful.)
1. Meowmeix: Amanda Meixner is perhaps one of the most re-posted in the meal-prep game - and for good reason. She so brilliantly mixes all-too-relatable inspiration posts, food prep gold, and recipes catered to anyone from vegans to high-protein eaters.

6. Damn Delicious: We are the biggest fans of Chungah Rhee’s recipes, super-simple to follow video content, and her corgi, Butters (we know!), so we’re just going to preemptively deem her meal prep recipe book an absolute game changer. From mushroom ramen to korean beef tacos and french onion soup, there is nothing this woman can’t do.
