Following a healthy eating plan can be time consuming, with the emphasis being on preparing fresh meals with fresh ingredients. I always try and make my meals fresh daily but I know that after a long day at work the last thing you want to do is start cooking!
I previously created 2 really popular posts How to prepare 7 Slimming World friendly freezer meals in under 1 hour & Prepare a week of SW friendly freezer meals.
I wanted to go 1 better for 2017 and create a whole month of meals, 31 dishes that have 4 servings in each, that were also low cost.
I worked really hard and tested and wrote so many recipes before finalising this special post. If you're going to attempt this yourself, make sure you read the post in full!

Make sure you have all the ingredients. Download my shopping list, don't forget to tick off anything you already have in the house, and always double check it!
When you're ready to start making, ensure all your ingredients are out and ready.
Get some large zip up freezer bags and label them with each meal. It is easier to have everything to hand once you start making!
Recipes all serve 4, unless otherwise stated (or 2 with left overs!)
Meals can be cooked from frozen in the slow cooker for 7-10 hours on low. It is recommended to defrost any of the poultry over night in the fridge before cooking.
For 'bags of frozen chicken' I like to use frozen pre cooked diced chicken, that's cook from frozen.

I have added every ingredient the recipe includes, but I would expect most people to have a least a few of the ingredients in the house already. It works out as -
Per Meal for 4 people = £4.58
Evening Meals Per week - £35.54 (There should also be leftovers for lunches)
Per serving cost= £1.15
If you give any a go, please send me your pictures!
