tastes delicious the same way when you designed it!

A well-organized freezer with some staple food is the key to save your time.
This article will learn about 8 staple foods that you can freeze to make ahead meals and save your time.

When I apprise you that you can freeze anything you want, it means anything! Anything from fresh
produce to pre-made meals or leftovers from the last night.

Here are some staple foods that you can freeze and use to make ahead meal without any second
thought!

• Spinach
Spinach is one of the leafy green vegetables that you can freeze quickly to make ahead meals. It is great
to make smoothies, soup, stock, dips, quiches, and several pasta meals.

When you buy spinach at the start of the week, but you feel that it can’t last long for the weekend, you
can simply freeze it for later use.

• Avocados
Avocados are known for being overripe overnight. So, what to do with these overripe brown avocadoes?

No worries!

You can simply slice them and freeze them in halves or quarters chunks.

Here is a little tip to prevent avocadoes from browning:

Brush avocados with a bit of lemon juice. And when you need to use the avocado, simply bring it to
room temperature for about 30 minutes and use them.

• Meat
Any type of meat, whether cooked, uncooked, or fresh, can be quickly frozen. So, you can keep raw or
fresh meat for last-minute dinners and just for the convenience of not running to the store.

You can also easily store cooked meat; just make sure that beef is cooled enough before freezing and
place it in an airtight container.

• Berries
If you buy fresh berries from the supermarket and want to store them later, you can go for it. No need
for any preservatives like sodium or salt.

Simply grab them, wash thoroughly, take the stem off and freeze!

• Bananas
Buy fresh and ripe bananas to freeze them for later use.

You can use freeze bananas in making smoothies, pancakes, or skewers. Just make sure to peel them
and store them in a plastic bag.

• Eggs
Eggs can also be stored in the freezer for later use. If you have a recipe that requires egg yolk or white,
only you can freeze the part you didn’t use.

Feel free to freeze the remaining thing after cracking the eggs and storing them in an airtight container.

• Bread
Bread is one of the staple foods that can be quickly frozen.

• Sea food
Just like meat, seafood can also be frozen for ahead use. You just need to wrap it tightly before tossing it
in the freezer.

When you are ready to use it, thaw in the fridge or under cool water.
