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. Easy!  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 this time around.*

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.

Oh So Delicious Salmon

,

I have made this Salmon with Avocado Salsa recipe several times and love it! I made a few switches though. Instead of doing the salmon on the grill, I cooked it in the oven at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. I made this recipe twice in two weeks–two different ways. I made Banza Chickpea Pasta, added some salt and pepper, and topped the pasta with the salmon and salsa! De-licious! The next week I made cauliflower rice in lieu of the pasta, topping it with the same flavorful salmon and salsa. It looked like I slaved for hours, when in reality it’s one of the easiest meals. 🙂

Blueberry Ginger Smoothie

,

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. 🙂 

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Coconut water
  • 1 cup Frozen Blueberries
  • 1 Frozen banana
  • 1 cup Spinach
  • 1 inch Ginger
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Vital Proteins
  • 1 Tbsp Hemp hearts
  • 1 Tbsp Chia seeds
  • Handful of ice

What to do:

Combine all ingredients into a quality blender and blend until smooth. (About a minute or two).

 

Homegrown Eating

I feel like the first few months of having a baby will fly and little miss will be ready for some food (other than milk) before I even blink! I plan on making majority of her baby food (using this) but I also know in reality I’ll need some more convenient and less time-consuming options at times.

With having such a strong passion for organic food, I really don’t think it is ever too early to focus on ways you want to nourish your baby beyond just milk when the time comes! I did some research to find out which brands had the same mindset I do regarding organic foods and I was so excited to find two that I plan on buying for our little babe!

Stonyfield’s YoBaby Yogurt and Once Upon a Farm were two brands that really stuck out to me because I LOVE their missions. Most of you know I’m a fan of Stonyfield’s ingredients and use them a lot when cooking or baking, but Once Upon a Farm was new to me. They are keeping it as close to home as possible by never adding sugars, preservatives or ingredients you can’t pronounce in their food. Sign me up!

Stonyfield also just came out with a new flavor (Banana/Mango Yobaby Yogurt, sounds SO good, even I want to try it!) which now contains the probiotic culture BB12. In addition to live active cultures, Stretococcus Thermophilus, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bifidus, Lactobacillus Casei, and Lactobacillus Rhamnosus, their yogurt now contains the probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis lactis BB-12 that has been shown to have a digestive health benefit. Stonyfield has also started using PLA cups (meaning, they are made from plants!) How awesome is that?! (And hello Earth Day friends!)

Really great ingredients that are really real, make me really happy. Say that ten times fast. 😉

 

While your little one is snacking on some goodness, you can sip on some too with an Aloha Smoothie or a Peaches and Cream Ginger Smoothie (both made with Stonyfield yogurt). Maybe if we start drinking tropical things the temperatures will start to rise outside too! 😉 *Thank you to Stonyfield and Once Upon A Farm for sponsoring this post.*
