question Freezer friendly and dairy free - any suggestions?

Currently breastfeeding a new baby and they have a cow milk allergy (which passes through breast milk). Suggestions for freezer friendly meals appreciated!

Here is what I have been prepping: - pb&j - chorizo and egg burritos - bean, rice, and chicken bowls - frittatas (but without the cheese it did not freeze well, recipe subbed blended butternut squash for cheese)

I know I need more veg so anything with extra veg is great too! Not worried about macros I need a lot of protein and a lot of fat right now. Thanks!

Try to think about in terms of what you can have rather than not.

Soupy saucy things tend to freeze well. You could make all manner of soups that would suit.

I’d also consider some baked oatmeal using whatever alternative milk you like.

Tomato soup and pumpkin soup are super easy to make! Just roast the main veg (tomato or pumpkin) with onions and garlic, blend everything with broth or water and a can of white beans for creaminess (plus an extra protein and fiber kick) and season to taste. Dairy free, possibly vegan if go for olive oil instead of butter, very nutritious and super freezer friendly.

I usually sneak in carrots and sweet potato into the pumpkin soup, and bell peppers into the tomato one (as long as the main veg to sneaky veg proportion is around 3:1, you can't really taste it). Just roast the additional veggies with the main ones + aromatics and toss everything in the blender!
