What are easy freezer meals before baby arrives?

  • Many expectant mothers like to meal prep before baby is born. Freezer meals a great way to meal prep postpartum meals ahead of time because they can be stored in the freezer for easy reheating.
  • I like to make meals that can be reheated or cooked in my Instant Pot to make this even easier. I also like to bake breads and make bread doughs to store in the freezer as part of my weekly meal prep. This makes meal time very easy.
  • I’ve also found that making freezer meals is a great way to make cheap healthy meals ahead of time. You can do a big grocery haul, like I did for my January Extreme Grocery Budget Haul at Trader Joe’s, then assemble freezer meals right away to enjoy throughout the month.
