Meatballs, Burgers & More

Keto Freezer Meal Tips
- Cool completely before freezing. Warm food creates ice crystals and ruins texture.
- Freeze flat in bags. Zip-top bags laid flat stack neatly and thaw twice as fast.
- Label everything. Name, date, and reheating instructions — future you is forgetful.
- Undercook pasta substitutes slightly. Cauliflower and zucchini soften more on reheating, so pull them early.
