   Perfect portions is what I was looking for, June 1, 2016

   Perfect portions is what I was looking for. I am doing max 30 and measuring food in measuring cups is time consuming, with these if it fits you have it right. There is no meal plan with this item you are buyin!!!. max 30 included this idea of containers in there meal program but did not come with them. You would be amazed at the difference of portioning made easy vs measuring every type of food. Yes these are on the spendy side but its around 60 if you buy the workout and meal planning on beachbody website , For the 21 day fix they come with the containers
   They are Color coded to help. Veggie= green, fruit=purple, proteins=red, good carbs = yellow, healthy fats= blue, orange=seeds and dressings. Can not get any easier. You never really knew how much food you were over eating until you get this system. Max 30 says you should eat (if over 150lbs) 4 veggies, 3 fruits, 4 proteins, 3carbs, 1 healthy fat, 1 seed/dressing and 4 tsp of nut butters or oils. They use the container as measurement to equel 1 unit. So four green container of veggies per day. If under 150lbs decrease veggie fruit carb and protien by one. They say you should eat up to five times per day and spread out your recommended amounts as you see fit. Really hope this helps. I know reviews are bad sometimes but I think this system makes so much sense and made meal prep easier hopefully eventually I can see the amount of any food and be able to say “thats the perfect portion” The set is exactly what it should be and the material is a very sturdy hard plastic. Even harder than your typical Rubbermaid or ziplock containers. One thing that shocked me however was the size. I think that photos of just the containers without reference to anything else makes you think that they are indeed sizes comparable to the Rubbermaid or ziplock containers that you store your food into. However I was a little taken aback at how tiny they actually are. This isn’t a concern for me or a complaint because let’s face it, this is for portion control not storage. It’s just something I thought I would bring to everyone’s attention just to get a better idea of what you’re getting. I attached some photos of me holding some of the containers – the biggest (green) container and the smallest (orange) container (I have VERY small hands – like child’s size) and I also took photos of the containers next to a basic Rubbermaid container for reference. Hope this review was helpful for those wondering what the sizes were like! These containers are just that– THE CONTAINERS only! I make this point first because there are a lot of negative reviews that are negative JUST because people did not read the description and understand that these are the containers only, without the eating and fitness plan. It’s so frustrating when you’re looking for a product and find that it has a low score simply because people didn’t read the description properly and then reviewed the item negatively because of it, so my goal of this review is mainly to help people out before they order this, thinking that they’re getting the program (I don’t know of any diet programs that are only $25!), when they are not.

   That being said, as someone who has been on the 21-Day Fix for the past week, I love it, so if you’re looking at these and considering the program for weight loss, healthier eating, learning to control portions, etc., this program is awesome. They give you a full set of these containers with the program, but I’m buying these as extra containers because for all of the colors except for blue and orange, you get more than one of the containers per day on the eating plan (they give you an extra orange to store their “teaspoon category,” I believe). They work great for both measuring out your food and for storage, so you may not need to buy these; I would like the convenience of having extra containers to travel with and to store in the fridge (for example, I made guacamole the other day, measured it into the designated container (blue), but only ate half of the container and wanted to save the other half for another time without having to dump a tiny amount in a different container, just to be able to use the blue one again).
   Ultimately, these containers ARE worth it, and if you need a healthier change in your life, give the full 21-Day fix a try as well!

   Freshly roasted coffee deserves proper storage. When coffee beans have just been roasted, they release a lot of CO2, especially for the first few days. Ideally you want to let the CO2 out, but also keep the oxygen from coming in. Oxygen is an enemy of fresh coffee, along with light, heat, and moisture. Coffee Storage containers provide a one-way valve and otherwise airtight storage solution to keep your coffee beans fresh. Although they can also keep out light and to some degree moisture, most containers can’t really do much about heat. If the room you are storing your beans in is hot, eventually your beans will be too. But practically speaking, I have not found this to be a problem. BeanSafe Coffee Storage Containers hold 16 ounces of coffee with room to spare, and are available in the following colors and materials (all lids are BPA-Free polypropylene): I am comparing the BeanSafe coffee storage containers to my trusty Friis Coffee Vault storage containers. The Friis has served me well, but they have two main issues. The valves are meant to be replaced, and although they include extra replacement valves, this is an added cost over the life of the container, since replacement is recommended every 2 months. The other problem is with balance. When you open the hinged lid to fill it up with coffee beans, it almost always tips over. The BeanSafe seems to address both of these issues. The BeanSafe valve system is a piece of specially shaped silicone rubber with a hole in it. Inside, there is a glass bead that is just heavy enough to cover the hole, but light enough so that as CO2 builds up, it temporarily pushes the bead out of the way to let the CO2 out, and then returns to it’s position to keep oxygen out. Although this does mean that the container must remain level to be effective, they claim that the “Valve…never needs replacement.” While I never believe statements like that, I do think the valve should last for years, likely only if the silicone degrades or becomes malformed. The Stainless Steel color as well as the Black and White BPA-Free polypropylene containers only include a scoop. The color versions include an orange coffee scoop and DIY reusable Keurig K-Cup compatible coffee pod, which are nice extras. The reusable K-Cup compatible coffee pod is a great way to save money on those expensive replacements, and increase the quality of your coffee over the mediocre pre-packaged K-Cups you get at the grocery store. Also, BeanSafe says that you can store ground coffee if you wish. Friis does not recommend this, as their design has the potential to clog the valve. Although I did not test storing ground coffee, sometimes you must grind ahead of time for short trips like camping or weekend getaways, and it is nice to know the BeanSafe valve will handle that. One area of concern I had right away was the plastic clips on the lid. Putting the lid on and off just 3 times, which also meant I was bending the clips back and forth, resulted in plastic stress to the clips (see photo). Over the years, I have owned many products that have a similar design, and I do not expect this part to last too long, but BeanSafe tells me that they have been tested “400,000 times for durability”, so only time will tell how well they hold up. They do recommend that you treat the clips gently for longer life. I would also like to see manufacturers of containers put some sort of soft anti-skid material on the bottom. When using metal containers directly on a tile kitchen counter, they can slide around easily, and the metal on tile sound hurts the ear. Not a big deal, but it would be a nice touch. I would also like to see a way to securely store the scoop with the canister.

   I got the easy eating plan for healthy living containers the other day and was very excited to start using them. They came very nicely packaged and the containers were sealed in plastic inside of their box. The portion control containers were also shipped very quickly thanks to amazon prime and the speedy processing of the great seller. I have always thought about getting these containers as there are a variety of them marketed online and in stores. The name brand ones I thought were a bit pricey. I found these and I thought why not ill try them. I am always trying to loose weight like many people and sometimes I think I forget what a portion size really is. These are going to come in handy for me controlling my portion sizes and will be great for packing lunches or snacks to go by. The lids of these portion control containers fit nicely and do not pop off. They washed fine in the dishwasher and I have not any issues with them. I like them and look forward to changing habits while using them. I got these easy eating plan for healthy living portion control containers free or a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review and opinion. I personally rely heavily on others reviews when I am looking for more information on products that I am thinking about purchasing online.
