If it's smoothies I've found that pretty much anything goes, but I wouldn't freeze a salad, for example. Cooked food usually freezes OK, but that means making the meals on the same day that you do the prep, so the other days you just thaw the meal portions. As a starting point, try this principle: if you see the fruit or vegetable in a bag in your grocery freezer section, then it's probably a good one to freeze, but keep in mind a lot of those have been lightly cooked first and you might want to do the same. I hope that helps! Hi Kris, freezing can work well, but it depends on what you’re making, especially with raw fruits and vegetables.

If I prepare my fruits and vegetables a few days in advanced can i freeze them and thaw them out when I get home? Sometimes I only have one free day a week for meal prep and the rest requires quick and easy. Ok, do you have any tips on meal planning a few days in advanced?

It'll save me some much needed time on shopping! And it'll also, I suspect, force me to eat things I wouldn't normally buy. I see all this as good.
