Healthy Egg Muffins Meal Prep and Storage

Meal Prep: You can prep by chopping the raw veggies and adding to a freezer bag or container. Add any seasonings and store for later in the fridge.
Storage: Leftovers can be frozen for up to a month. But pre-chopped/ uncooked veggies should be stored in the fridge (they will get soggy in the freezer). Will hold for 5 days in the freezer. 
Reheating: Add to a baking sheet and pop in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-20 minutes until hot. You can also microwave for 2 minutes.
