This collection of vegan and vegetarian freezer meals are the perfect solution for those busy nights! Make for later or double the recipe and eat some now and freeze the rest.
Grabbing a home cooked meal from the freezer is so much healthier than constantly eating out but just as fast!

We all have those nights when the idea of making dinner makes you feel like running away. Having something relatively healthy that I can defrost and serve is my savior!
Why Freezer Meals
While having the store bought frozen foods are convenient and perfect sometimes, they are often filled with extra salt and oils that weigh us down if we eat them too often.
Having homemade options are important, but cooking every night is just SO draining. Which is why I love freezing my recipes for easy grab and defrost!
How to freeze recipes
The easiest way to make and have vegan freezer meals is to make them while preparing dinner. Finding recipes that can easily be doubled, so you can freeze half and eat half immediately, is key.
The best kinds of food for vegan freezer meal prep are:
- Soups
- Burgers
- Casseroles
- Baked goods
- Dips
- Sauces
While almost anything can be frozen, you need to make sure you are freezing them correctly to avoid things like freezer burn and affecting the flavor of the recipe.
How to package frozen meals
Packing your vegan freezer meals properly is key in order to preserve the freshness of the recipe. Here is are some thing I do:
- Make sure to allow it to cool completely.
- Use plastic wrap to tightly wrap the food, and even place it directly on top of things like sauces and dips.
- Wrap another layer over it using foil.
- Place the entire thing in an airtight container, if not in one already, or place in a freezer bag.
- Label the recipe with what it is and when you froze it. I like to use a label maker.
If you want to buy a label maker this one is the one I use:
