Freezer Meals 101
The other weekend Eric and I made A TON of freezer smoothie packs, snacks, and meals to have on hand when the baby comes. Our biggest question was: Why have we not done this before?! We got so much accomplished in a short amount of time and had so much fun doing it. We opened the windows, put some music on, and tag-teamed the entire process. I included the links of all the recipes we made from yours truly. Baby on the way or not, enjoy! 🙂
Smoothies:
I made a few packs of my Blueberry Ginger Smoothie. All the ingredients are included in the freezer bag. The only thing that needs to be added when I go to make it is coconut water and Vanilla Vital Proteins
I made a few packs of my Aloha Smoothie. I can either follow the exact recipe for the Aloha Smoothie or add more yogurt and ice for a smoothie bowl. I also added some fruit to a freezer bag to have on hand to add to a fruit smoothie. 🙂
Snacks:
My Energy Bites are deliciously amazing on their own, with coffee (which I’m sure I’ll need) or with milk! I made a batch of these and froze them in a freezer bag to have on hand. *I substituted the chocolate chips for cacao powder
Main Meals:
I love how flavorful and yet simple this meal is. We cut up all the veggies to freeze and then had the roast freezer wrapped. I wrote the directions right onto the freezer bag so I can toss everything into the crockpot in the morning and have dinner ready that night. My favorite! 🙂
I also made two batches of my Taco Soup. I cooked everything, let it cool, and then divided it into tupperware containers before putting it in the freezer. I’ll place both main meals in the refrigerator the night before I plan on having them/placing it into the crockpot.

If you have any questions, just ask! What are some of your favorite freezer meals?!Â
I’ve been trying to incorporate healthy fats, greens, and anti-inflamatory elements into my diet as much as possible these days. This smoothie encompasses all of these things and is packed to the brim with flavor. It’s deliciously sweet with a, “zing” from the ginger. It’s simple to make and complex in flavor, leaving you satisfied until the next meal. You’ll love it. 🙂 
 and blend until smooth. (About a minute or two).
I’m not a huge St. Patty’s Day girl but one thing I can get on board with is all the mint recipes that seem to float around during this time of year. In hopes of not munching on a zillion Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, I created this smoothie to help with the craving. Friends, it exceeded my expectations. The ingredients are 10 times (okay, maybe a million times) healthier than Thin Mint Cookies and filled to the brim of the glass with health benefits. Between the antioxidants in the cocoa powder to the collagen in the 
Valentine’s Day is next week?! Obviously chocolate is on my mind and in an attempt to keep things healthy because I feel so much better when real food is always a part of my life, I created a Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie for me and you! Who doesn’t love chocolate covered strawberries?! This smoothie is light and just as delicious as any other sweet you are craving this time of year. Trust me. 🙂

I’m always up for a smoothie year-round. In the heat of the summer, a smoothie is so refreshing. A smoothie during the winter? I’ll take it! (Especially when it’s perfectly packed with so many nutrients that I need). I love how much you can mix and match your ingredients as you create a completely new tasty concoction.
