My freezer lunch stash makes it easy to swap meals in for a bit of variety.
We are doing a big meal prep session today and stocking up with 24 freezer-friendly lunches. This session took me 2 hours, but let me warn you: I was moving the whole time!
To make it easy for you, I have done all the planning, with a printable shopping list and meal prep plan for you.
