People think that healthy eating is expensive and time-consuming, but it doesn’t have to be that way.  These 11 healthy freezer meal prep sessions will show you how to prepare all of your dinners for the week in an hour TOTAL.  The grocery lists and recipes are included for free too, so the process couldn’t be easier.

11 Healthy Freezer Meal Prep Sessions That Will Simplify Your Life

The secret to making these healthy meals is to prepare and freeze them for your crockpot.  None of the ingredients need to be cooked ahead of time – simply combine the meats, vegetables, sauces and spices in a freezer bag and freeze!

Since the meals are frozen without any cooking ahead of time, they’re very quick and easy to make.  They also cook for the first time out of the freezer and don’t taste like leftovers at all.  By prepping 6-8 meals every weekend I can keep my freezer stocked and avoid cooking during the week altogether.  Wahoo!

I’ve made all of these freezer prep sessions myself so I can tell you that they’re simple, delicious, and full of fresh veggies.  This method of cooking dinner has changed my life and the lives of thousands of people who bought my freezer meal cookbooks.  If you’re looking for a way to simplify your life, this is it.

I am so thankful I found this website! My 9 year old really loved helping me assemble the bags and he was then willing to try the meals because he helped. Having the meals already planned and prepped saves us so much time, and I LOVE that nothing needs to be precooked! That has always kept me from trying freezer meals in the past. Thanks so much for all the recipes! Cant wait to continue trying more of them!

This is just what I needed, I’ve been working late almost every night and my husband can just throw these in the crockpot in the morning.
Have you thought about editing your printable labels with the info you are hand-writing, so that you don’t have to write them out each time?

These recipes sound awesome, and I can’t wait to try some out! My question is- How is the texture of the food, does it get all mushy? I’m just afraid that we are going to be eating a lot of soft food with very little texture.

I have been wanting to try freezer cooking for a while now. I am a frugal shopper and would like to improve on my time management. Would you mind telling me how many servings are in these bags?

I may be missing a tutorial or something, but how do you decide the use by date? Are there guidelines to follow? Thank you! I am really excited to try this before our baby comes to stock up!

I have put mine together and used my food saver, this extends the use by date due to no air in the bag.
I have had a few in the chest freezer for almost 6 Mo’s & pulled out, cooked.
