meal prep that actually survives the freezer

tested this the hard way, mostly by reheating sad mush and taking notes

01
Chicken Enchilada Soup (Budget Bytes)
freezes in individual containers great, just don't add the tortilla strips until you reheat
02
Bean and Cheese Burritos
trust the process, wrap tight in foil then a freezer bag, microwave straight from frozen wrapped in a damp paper towel
03
breakfast burritos
(double it) you will eat these faster than you think
04
baked oatmeal
05
high protein egg muffins
get watery on reheat if you overfill the tin, less is more here
06
country breakfast bowls
07
homemade chili
the one thing on this list that might taste better after a freeze, something about the beans
08
Butternut Squash and Black Bean Soup
09
cabbage soup
surprise winner honestly. most soups get grainy from freezing but this one comes back almost fresh, no dairy or starch to break down maybe
