    How to Make Freezer Meals for the Summer

    Bye Bye savory soups and recipes using the oven. When Summer hits, my freezer game changes!

    Here is how I fill my meal prep freezer for the Summer! 

    How I fill my meal prep freezer for summer

    I live in Canada, so while we don't get the hot hot hot summers of Texas, we do have a super dry heat here in Alberta, and no AC in our house. 

    So, in the summer I rely on anything that can come from the freezer, and not use my oven or stove top. 

    I use my freezer stash for breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Crazy, right?

    Nah... just efficient. 

    Breakfasts in the summer are smoothies, and things I can microwave or pop into my air fyrer to reheat. 

    Here is what is in my freezer this summer for breakfast! 

    Summer Breakfasts

    1

    Mint Chocolate Protein Smoothie Freezer Packs

    Is this a dessert, or a breakfast smoothie packed with protein? Hint: it only tastes like a creamy delicious dessert!

    2

    Pina Colada Breakfast Smoothie

    Yogurt, coconut, oats and pineapple are the base for this one. I put all of the dry ingredients in a zip bag and prep 5 at a time. When it is time for breakfast, I dump the bag contents into the blender with the yogurt and almond milk for a quick on the go breakfast.

    3

    {Prep Ahead} Espresso Oat Breakfast Smoothie

    No more choosing between your morning smoothie, and your coffee. This struggle is no more with this Espresso Oat Smoothie! This is by far the most popular smoothie recipe on the blog!

    4

    Dill Feta Egg Wraps {Freezer Friendly}

    Breakfast wraps are a freezer essential. I personally love to heat mine up from frozen in my airfryer! But a microwave or an oven are options too!

    5

    Freezer Friendly - Quinoa Egg Scramble Bowl

    Quinoa for breakfast. Trust friends. Trust!

    6

    Veggie Loaded Breakfast Pockets {Freezer Friendly}

    A little spin on traditional breakfast burritos, veggie loaded breakfast pockets are the next thing you need in your life... and freezer for summer! This post has a how to video too, just to show you how easy these are to make!

    Hearty Taco Breakfast Casserole

    This is Brad's favorite breakfast EVER. We seriously prepped this every Sunday and ate it all week for 6 months straight. Now, we make it, and freeze it in single serve portions to reheat once a week... not every day of the week!

    Freezer lunches are essential for the summer. 

    On Sunday's we are usually getting home from camping or a weekend road trip and making lunches is just not in the cards. 

    I will take one afternoon, prep a few of these, and then freeze them in single serve containers for grab and go lunches all summer!

    Summer Lunches

    Have a big cook day, make a few of these, and freeze them in single serve containers for grab and go lunches all summer!

    Meal Prep Instant Pot Italian Stuffed Meatballs

    Mozza cheese inside meatballs. Do I need to say more?

    Philly Cheesesteak Meal Prep

    The best part of the cheesesteak is the inside. Ditch the bun, add some rice, and call it a meal prep bowl!

    Instant Pot Chicken Yakitori Meal Prep

    Zero percent traditional yakitori, one hundred percent awesome. Use frozen edamame to make this a really easy prep dish.

    Thai Turkey Lettuce Wraps (+ Video)

    I always double this recipe when I make it. I freeze it in 2 cup portions, and of course... don't freeze lettuce. Having the mix ready to go is a life saver!

    Meal Prep Chicken Quinoa Fried "Rice" Bowls

    Take out fake out meals are THE BEST. This one is going to be lighter in salt, sugar, and calories than typical fried rice. Oh, and protein bumped up with the quinoa!

    Instant Pot Honey Garlic Chicken Meal Prep Bowls

    Get in my belly. Right now. Garlic Chicken. Meal Prep. Yes to the yes please.

    Sriracha Hoisin Ground Pork Bowls

    Love ground pork, turkey, beef bowls. Ground anything bowls and I am a happy camper! These make the very best freezer lunches, too!

    Summer dinners... must be cooked outside... or over a campfire. 

    Getting home from work to a non air conditioned hot house means zero chance I am turning a burner or an oven on. It also means Brad does most of the weeknight cooking all summer. 

    I prep the meals, he cooks them.. .outside... all summer. 

    Here is what is in my freezer all summer for dinners... and camping! 

    Summer Dinners

    Foil Pack Mango Mojito Chicken

    Chili Lime Chicken Foil Packs

    Sriracha Maple Ginger Pork Tenderloin {Air Fryer or Oven}

    This pork tenderloin usually goes in my air fryer, but in the summer, it goes on the grill, every.single.time!

    Freezer Friendly Turkey Tacos "In a Bag" (Foil Pack)

    Thanks to Social Supper, this is on regular rotation on my camping meal plan!

    Easy Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Burgers

    Fun fact. My husband and I have a second blog. It's Not a Veggie Blog, and this recipe is on that blog. When we entertain in the summer, this is what we make! Freeze these on a parchment lined cookie sheet, then transfer to a zip bag or vacuum seal them with a foodsaver system!
