Are you starting a new diet this year? Here are some of my crockpot freezer meal prep sessions that will make life easier for you. During the “prep session,” all you need to do is assemble the ingredients and freeze them. (You literally combine the meat, vegetables, and spices in bags and stick them in your freezer for up to three months – there’s no cooking ahead of time.) Then you cook the frozen meal in your crockpot later and feel like a rockstar.

Every prep session includes free printable recipes and a shopping list so the process couldn’t be easier.

Below, you’ll find crockpot freezer meal prep sessions for these diets:

Whole30
Ketogenic
Paleo
Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free
Vegetarian
The 21-Day Fix

I also have cookbook eBooks for all of these diets with printable shopping lists and nutritional info. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, leave a comment at the bottom of this post and I’ll work on it next.

What’s so great about these diet-friendly freezer meals?

They’re frozen without any cooking ahead of time. That means they’re quick and easy to prep and cook for the first time out of the freezer so they don’t taste like leftovers at all. Yay!
I made all of them myself. That means I know how much time and money they require to make. I also know that they’re absolutely delicious.
They make it easier to stick to your diet. Just think…less dirty dishes, fewer trips to the grocery store, and less brainpower required to figure out what to eat. Plus, your husbands and kids are going to like these meals too.
