FREEZER MEAL RECIPES

Hey loves! With little babe’s arrival next month, I’ve been doing everything I can to make life just a little bit easier for all of us! One of the best things I’ve done is prep a ton of freezer meals!

I’m sharing all of the recipes that I used to make these meals that will keep really well in the freezer. These will be so easy to thaw and make whenever we want and I don’t have to spend a ton of time preparing the meal when caring for three kiddos!

SMOOTHIE RECIPES

I used these amazon containers to store them:

CRAN RASPBERRY: 1/2 cup frozen cranberries, 1/2 cup raspberries

STRAWBERRY BANANA MANGO: 1/3 of a banana, 3-4 strawberries, 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks

MANGO BANANA AVOCADO: half a banana, half a avocado, 1/4 cup frozen mango

AVOCADO BLUEBERRY BANANA: half a banana, half a avocado, 1/4 cup blueberries

BERRY BANANA: half a banana, 3/4 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.)

When you make them, fill the storage cup up with liquid of choice (milk, juice, water, lemonade) and dump into a blender. then add any powders, syrup, or seeds you like before you blend. (you can add protein powder, collagen, agave, flax seed, fenugreek powder, peanut butter, chocolate chips, etc. to flavor your smoothie)
