Want to simplify your dinner routine? Here are 17 free printable freezer meal plans and grocery lists. I’ve made all of the meals myself so I can tell you that they’re simple, delicious, and pretty healthy too.
First, three reasons why you’ll love these freezer meal plans:
- All of the meals can be frozen without any cooking ahead of time. Simply combine the ingredients in plastic freezer bags and freeze for up to three months.
- The meals cook for the first time out of the freezer and don’t taste like leftovers at all.
- It’s easy to prep a bunch of meals at once and save money by buying the ingredients in bulk.
Since I’ve made hundreds of meals this way, I thought it might be helpful to share my 17 favorite freezer meal plans and grocery lists. These are all healthy meals that I feel good serving my family.
If you’re not used to freezing raw meats and vegetables together, let me assure you that it’s perfectly safe. I did a lot of research when I was writing my No Cook Freezer Meals cookbook and the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service explains that freezing to 0°F inactivates any microbes present in food (such as bacteria, yeasts, and molds). The standard freezer in the U.S. is set to 0°F, so we’re good to go. (Yes, I realize that’s below freezing.)
Enjoy!

My husband and I did our first meal prep session last month and we are hooked! We are getting ready to do the Eight Healthy Meals in 75 mins this week. I’m wondering if you have a recommendation for how to sub canned tomatoes for fresh since they aren’t in season.
Have you seen this post? https://thefamilyfreezer.com/2015/08/04/5-healthy-crockpot-freezer-meals-made-with-fresh-tomatoes-in-75-min/
I’m pretty sure I subbed 2 medium-sized fresh tomatoes for each can of diced tomatoes. So, if you want to use canned tomatoes instead of fresh I would use one 15oz can of diced tomatoes for every two fresh tomatoes in the recipe. Does that make sense?
I’ll give that a try! Thanks!!!!
It’s a great list, thanks! I’ve got question: In my country slower cooker is not very popular. Could I prepare these meals in different way, for example Cooking them in pot Or baking?
Thanks for Help!
Yes, I would try the soup/chilis/stews in a pot on the stovetop and chicken breasts/roasts in a pan in the oven.
