Save Time, Eat Well: The Benefits of Prepping Freezer Meals
What are Freezer Meals
Freezer meals, also known as make-ahead or prep-ahead meals, are meals that can be prepared in advance and stored in the freezer for later use. They are designed to save time and make meal preparation easier, especially for busy individuals or families who may not have the time or energy to cook a fresh meal every day.
Think homemade frozen dinners, except you are cooking them freshly on the night you serve them!
Benefits of Freezer Meals
TIME SAVING
By preparing meals in advance, you can save time and effort on busy weeknight or when you’re short on time. You can literally just toss the prepped ahead ingredients into a pan on the stove, into a baking dish, or crockpot.
CONVENIENT
Use your time efficiently by consolidating your prep time for multiple meals. Set aside time for one prep session and prep and freeze 3-10 meals!
COST EFFECTIVE
Buying ingredients in bulk and preparing meals in advance can help you save money on groceries and reduce food waste.
HEALTHIER OPTIONS
Make-ahead meals can be packed with nutritious ingredients, making it easier to have healthy, balanced meals on hand.
LESS STRESS
With meals already prepared, you can enjoy more free time and reduce stress around mealtime.
