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!
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)
