My Top 8 Must Make Freezer Meals

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

The Healthy Mummy is a health and weight loss program created for busy mums. I started The 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 am sharing my Top 8 Must Make Freezer Meals with you. They are from The Healthy Mummy app and 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges – so if you like them and want more recipes we have over 4,500 family and budget friendly recipes here 

As a mum of two… 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! 

This is why meal prepping has become an essential part of my lifestyle.  And why thousands of other mums following the Healthy Mummy 28 Day Challenges have also embraced meal prepping with 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.  Enjoy!

1. Roasted pumpkin soup

257 calories

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

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

2. Porcupine meatballs

225 calories per serve

These porcupine meatballs are a 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.  If only my children knew! Quick to prepare, I then put them in the slow cooker where they continue to cook for five hours. When they are done, I pack them away into freezer containers and I’m good to go!

3. Budget beef stew

456 calories

Feeding a family can be an expensive exercise which is why The Healthy Mummy Weight Loss Challenges provide thousands of budget-friendly recipes.  But being on a budget 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 cool night. I’ll sometimes serve this with pasta or rice for the kids and swap out the vegetables depending on what I have in the fridge.

4. Mexican lasagne

575 calories

I’m yet to meet a mum that doesn’t give the 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!

5. Yellow chicken curry

382 calories per serve

If you love Thai food then you will go nuts for this vege packed yellow chicken curry recipe. It not only smells divine, but it is also full of flavour and tastes even better when reheated.

For my fussy kids, I’ll often pull a few pieces of chicken out and serve on a bed of rice.   That way, we are all happy!

6. Spinach and sweet potato lasagne

411 calories

If you have never tried spinach and sweet potato lasagne I highly recommend you do.  It’s like a big mama bear hug in a dish. All the yumminess of lasagne but with way fewer calories.

It’s the perfect meal to have ready in the freezer for when friends unexpectedly drop in for dinner. I simply reheat it in the oven or microwave.

There is something comforting about having your own individual wrap on your plate.  And these tasty little enchiladas don’t disappoint.  I divide them up and put a couple in each freezer container so I pull out exactly what I need.

Results from mums using The Healthy Mummy Plans

Amy Sims

Amy has gone on to lose 33.7kg! Starting at 94kg, she now weighs 60.3kg, something she hasn’t weighed since she was 10 years old she says.

“If you’re consistent the result will come. It won’t be overnight, you’ll have to be patient, but consistency will get you there in the end,” Amy says.

Zena Mason

“Look at that smile ladies, I lost 20kg* with The Healthy Mummy 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges and gained a bucket load of body confidence. I still shock myself that I have managed to do this all while working, running a business and managing a 21-month-old breastfed monkey…

 

“Previously I struggled with time management, prepping, healthy recipes without babies. I made lots of excuses. I drunk lots of energy drinks and I got up just before the alarm for work.. not anymore x

With The Healthy Mummy they have really simplified it for me, made it easy for busy people like me.

I’m forever in awe of the APP on my device that literally changed my mind and thinking”.

Kerrie O’Brien

Kerrie has lost 17kg* and dropped 3 dress sizes (from 14-16 to 8) by following The Healthy Mummy 28 Day Weight Loss Challenges and exercises on the App as well as including The Healthy Mummy Smoothies and supplements in her diet.

“I am now lighter, smaller, healthier and fitter than I was in my 20’s and 30’s,” says 48-year-old old mum of two, Kerrie O’Brien.

 

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!

“I always used to sit on the sidelines in summer, even though I live in Queensland because I didn’t feel confident enough to wear bathers in public. Now I definitely do!”
