5 Freezer Staples That Make Healthy Eating Easy on GLP-1s

1. Frozen Turkey Meatballs

Why it works: High-protein, low-fat, and quick to prepare.

Turkey meatballs are a convenient source of lean protein that works well for smaller portion sizes — which many GLP-1 users find more comfortable.

• Heat in 5–7 minutes
• Pair with steamed veggies or whole-grain pasta
• Great for post-injection days when you're not in the mood to cook

🩺 E-Tele Tip: Prioritizing protein at meals can help reduce nausea and promote longer satiety.

🫐 2. Frozen Mixed Berries

Why it works: Naturally sweet, low-calorie, antioxidant-rich.

These are perfect for a light breakfast or a fiber-filled snack.

• Add to Greek yogurt, oatmeal, or blend into smoothies
• No added sugars or spoilage risk
• Fiber supports digestion, which can slow down while on GLP-1s

💡 Frozen berries often retain more nutrients than "fresh" ones that sit in your fridge too long.

🥦 3. Frozen Stir-Fry Vegetable Blends

Why it works: Pre-cut, high-fiber, no prep needed.

Veggie blends are ideal when your appetite is low but you still want something nutrient-rich.

• Sauté with olive oil and garlic
• Add shrimp, tofu, or turkey for a complete plate
• Takes 5 minutes or less from freezer to fork

🥗 GLP-1 users benefit from high-fiber meals that help regulate blood sugar and curb hunger later in the day.

🐟 4. Individually Frozen Salmon Fillets

Why it works: Protein-packed, rich in omega-3s, easy to portion.

Salmon supports cardiovascular health and contains healthy fats — essential for sustainable weight loss.

• Bake, air-fry, or pan-sear from frozen
• No defrosting needed
• Pair with frozen grains like brown rice for a fast, balanced meal

🔬 Omega-3s also support brain function and mood regulation — important during body composition changes.

🍔 5. Veggie or Bean-Based Burgers

Why it works: Plant protein + fiber + versatility.

These are a solid option for meatless meals that still keep you full.

• Look for lentil, black bean, or quinoa-based varieties
• Avoid overly processed versions with lots of soy or sodium
• Crumble into a salad or eat on a lettuce bun with avocado

🧠 Plant-based meals help support metabolic health and are often gentler on the stomach when adjusting to GLP-1s.

Here’s what to look for when stocking your freezer:
