My Top 8 Must Make Freezer Meals

Hi! My name is Rhian and as well as being a busy mum of two boys, I amย also the founder of The Healthy Mummy.

The Healthy Mummy is a health and weight loss program created for busy mums. I started Theย Healthy Mummy in 2010 when I was pregnant with my first baby!

Since then, The Healthy Mummy has been transforming the lives of millions of mums all over the world.

I amย sharing my Top 8 Must Make Freezer Meals with you. They are from The Healthy Mummy app and 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges โ€“ so if you like them and want more recipes we have overย 4,500 family and budget friendly recipes hereย 

As a mum of twoโ€ฆ I CERTAINLY appreciate coming home after a long and tiring day to a dinner already PREPARED and just moments away from being ready to go. Yippee!ย 

This is why meal prepping has become an essential part of my lifestyle. ย And why thousands of other mums following the Healthy Mummy 28 Day Challenges have also embraced meal prepping withย great enthusiasm and results.

My favourite 8 freezer friendly meals that the family will love

When it comes to prepping family-friendly meals specifically for the freezer here are my top 8. ย Enjoy!

1. Roasted pumpkin soup

257 calories
Roasted Pumpkin Soup

Velvety and smooth, sweet and savoury, this perfectly balanced roasted pumpkin soupย freezes well and can be reheated within minutes.

What makes this soup so hearty and satisfyingย is the addition ofย cannellini beans. I simply add a dash of yoghurt and a few bacon bits afterย I reheat. YUM!

2. Porcupine meatballs

These porcupineย meatballs are aย family favourite. Not only does my husband love them the kids do too.

And with two fussy little eaters, the rich tasty tomato sauce does a great job of hiding all the vegetables that I pack into these delicious meatballs. ย If only my children knew! Quick to prepare,ย I then put them in the slow cooker where they continue to cook forย five hours. When they are done, I pack them away into freezer containers and I’m good to go!

Feeding a family can be an expensive exercise which is why The Healthy Mummy Weight Loss Challenges provide thousands of budget-friendly recipes. ย But being on a budgetย doesn’t mean we have to miss out on flavour.

This budget beef stew is tasty and delicious and the perfect comfort food on a coolย night.ย I’ll sometimes serve this with pasta or rice for the kids and swapย out the vegetables depending on what I have in the fridge.

I’m yet to meet a mumย thatย doesn’t give theย Mexican Lasagne a HUGE thumbs up. It’s oh so good for you and goes a loooong way.

I tend to meal prep a couple of these at a time and divide up in larger portions for my husband and smaller portions for myself and my kids. I promise your husband will be asking for seconds!

Iโ€™m forever in awe of the APP on my device that literally changed my mind and thinkingโ€.

Feeling fabulous at 48, Kerrie says she is looking forward to confidently wearing a swimsuit this summer for the first time in 10 years. Something she admits she never thought she would say!

โ€œI always used to sit on the sidelines in summer, even though I live in Queensland because I didnโ€™t feel confident enough to wear bathers in public. Now I definitely do!โ€
