UPDATE, Feb 2021: These recipes were pulled together before I was actually doing Optavia. I need to include a disclaimer here that now that I am doing the plan, I have realized that some of the recipes included ARE NOT LEAN & GREEN! (Some are, but there are a couple that aren’t, and I didn’t know that at the time.) I can’t just pull down the page (long story), so I need to leave something up here so you all don’t get error messages when you follow links or Pinterest pins to get here, but I’m removing the recipes and the shopping list pdf. Now that I have personally started Optavia, nothing has frustrated me more than to go through recipes that people say are Lean & Green only to find that they are not, in fact, Lean & Green – so I can’t do that to you! I’m pulling the PDF down for now…but…
THE GOOD NEWS – I’ve working on actual Lean & Green freezer meal recipes that I WILL post here very soon!! I will redo the recipe list and the PDF with the recipes and shopping list, etc. I WILL provide counts for each recipe and you can rest assured that I have gone through and calculated them all myself personally to verify that they will qualify as Lean & Green. Please accept my apologies, and please check back for some actual, amazing, easy, great-tasting Lean & Green freezer meals! (I’ve got Paprika Chicken, Chicken Enchilada Soup, Turkey Parmesan Meatballs, Italian Meatballs and Italian Pork Roast so far – just need to take pictures so I can post!)
6 Great Lean & Green Freezer Meals
I am so excited to be getting together with my friend Angie tonight to put together some Lean & Green Freezer Meals for her family!
Angie has been working on establishing healthy eating habits for herself and her family, and she has made amazing progress! Sometimes eating healthy means a lot of cooking from scratch, but it doesn’t have to be that way!
You can still eat healthy and have the convenience of premade freezer meals.
So to go with her new Lean & Green way of eating, we’ve put together a list of 6 healthy freezer you can make at home!
The Freezer Meal Recipes
I’ve taken six of Angie’s favorite lean & green freezer meals and put them into a freezer meal plan, with a shopping list included. She has great taste, because these are also some of my family’s favorite freezer meals, too!
The shopping list is based on making 3 of each meal, so you’ll end up with 18 meals total.
I’ve got all the freezer meal recipes and instructions in the PDF, so there’s no need to print them individually if you don’t want. But here’s the lineup below so you can take a look! (Minus one recipe that is as of yet unpublished.)
Be sure to subscribe to my newsletter to get the printable PDF file with the recipes and shopping list!
RECIPES AND SHOPPING LIST COMING SOON!!!
Kay says
Is there nutritional information for these recipes?
Candi says
Yes! If you click on the links for each recipe, it will take you to that specific recipe, and at the bottom of the page there is a recipe card with ingredients and cooking instructions. Just below the cooking instructions on each recipe card is the estimated nutritional information. (If you don’t want to scroll through the post, you can use the “Jump to Recipe” button just under the title at the top of each page.)
Becky says
I only see 5 meals….am I missing the 6th? So excited to try they look yummy!
Candi says
The 6th recipe is not posted on my site, so there’s no link to it above in the list. But it IS included in the PDF file and the shopping list.
Michelle says

Hello. I subscribed and received my email to confirm my email address, but I do not have a box at the bottom that allows me to open the PDF will all the recipes and shopping list included. Can you help me understand what I need to do differently. Thank you so much!
Candi says
As soon as you put in your email address, the text in the box will change, and there is a link at the bottom of the box (underlined text) that will take you to the PDF to download.
Cathy Kimball says
When you say your meals are lean and green- do they go along with the Optavia lean and green meal guidelines?
Candi says
Yes. HOWEVER, I have had a couple people point out that not all of them adhere correctly. (I put them together at the request of a friend of mine who is a coach, before I was doing the program myself.) The Sesame Orange chicken is only for maintenance, and I don’t have the Lean & Green counts on them (yet – I’m working on them this week!). I am working on getting a bunch of Lean & Green freezer meal sessions ready and posted, and I will go back and list the counts on the recipes as well. I’ve spent several hours this week becoming more familiar with all the recipe conversions and condiment counts so hopefully I’m almost ready!
Valerie Wilson says
Are the Optavia meals available yet? My email is [email protected].
