7 days of Slimming World Friendly Freezer Meals | Slimming World




One of my most popular posts is "How to prepare 7 Slimming World friendly freezer meals in under 1 hour". I put in a LOT of work putting it together, so I am really glad it was so greatly received! It is such a basic but practical idea, prepare all your meals ahead then freeze or refrigerate them ready for the week ahead. Just take out the evening before you want to eat it, then just stick it in the oven or slow cooker the next day.  Some of the dishes can be cooked from frozen, so you always have a backup in the freezer. Make sure you read through the post thoroughly, including all the notes! Download a shopping list here

Notes:-
  • Make sure you have all the ingredients.  Download my shopping list, don't forget to tick off anything you already have in the house!
  • When you're ready to start making, ensure all your ingredients are out and ready
  • Get some large zip up freezer bags and label them with each meal. It is easier to have everything to hand once you start making!
  • Recipes all serve 4, unless otherwise stated (or 2 with left overs!

  • Any recipe where anything has to be cooked make sure you cool it to room temperature and then chill it in the refrigerator before freezing
  • Make sure when defrosting the meals you take them out the night before and defrost in the fridge, never leave meat to defrost at room temperature
  • If you are a vegetarian you could easily substitute any chicken for quorn

Take 75g of the wholemeal bread mix, save approximately 5g for dusting
