“I know this type of bulk meal pre can make people overwhelmed, and I can see why. But truly it’s not hard and I recommend those who want to meal prep to start small,” says Kaitie.

“Cook double or triple serves of dinner each night and start building a freezer stash, even on days you are home throw something in the cooker just to portion up and freeze. It takes no time and it basically looks after itself!”

Kaitie’s 6 top tips for freezing / heating meals:

1. Make sure all meals have cooled before storing

I refrigerate all of my meals for a few hours before I freeze them.

2. Label food if you’re going to freeze it

Always label and date all containers so you know what is in each tub in the freezer! Be sure to rotate if you are adding extras to the freezer regularly.

3. When reheating make sure it’s defrosted thoroughly

When reheating make sure your food is defrosted properly and reheated in the microwave, oven or saucepan until its BOILING HOT.

4. Use the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge App for inspiration

When doing bulk prep, I use the  28 Day Weight Loss Challenge App and change the weekly meal plan to all the leftover options. I then add what I wish to make and the serves. That way no matter what I’m cooking, the App writes my shopping list for me.

5. Use seasonal veggies

I mix up my vegetables in my dishes, depending on the prices and what’s in season (it’s usually cheaper).

6. Choose freezer-friendly meals

I find most mince dishes, slow cooked meals and stews freeze the best. I love having meal prep ready to go, as it makes my life SO MUCH easier. Less dishes, more time with the kids and more time for me to squeeze in my 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge exercises!

Kaitie credits her incredibly quick slim down to the  28 Day Weight Loss Challenge which have now helped her to maintain her weight loss.

Kaitie says, The Healthy Mummy has changed my views 110%! I love healthy food, I know what is in almost everything I eat, I save money and, believe it or not, in most cases, time by using the Healthy Mummy Meal Plans and cooking most things from scratch.”

But Kaitie admits that her downfall was her diet. “For me, food has 90% contributed to my weight loss. I love food, I always have but I’m very slowly starting to love me too.”
