10 Healthy Make Ahead Freezer Meals for Every Day of the Week

make ahead freezer meals

Trying to balance the demands of life, and maintain a healthy diet can be hard! Who really has the time to work, take care of the kids, and still have time to make a healthy meal most days. I sure don’t! That’s where make ahead freezer meals come in to save the day…or the week for the matter.

By designating some time to meal prep early in the week, you can prepare your healthy meals ahead of time. Once you are ready to eat, the hard work is already done and you only need to heat everything up in most cases. I save so much time during the week with freezer meals, and I’m eating healthier because of them. Not to mention I save money as well by eating out less! It’s a win-win situation.

A few tips/tools for making freezer meals:

  • Allow food to cool completely prior to freezing. This will allow for the food to freeze more evenly.
  • Freezer bags and plastic containers make for great storage and keep your freezer organized.
  • Label each meal with the time and date that it was prepared to keep track of how long ago meals were prepared.
  • Use a crock pot when possible to save time in the kitchen. A crockpot can be used when you initially cook most make ahead freezer meals, and also when it’s time to heat them back up.

Ok, so now let’s get into these delicious make ahead freezer meals!
