Frozen foods continuously can get a bad reputation for being bland and not actually that healthy. Talk of too much sodium or low nutrients keep people out of the frozen aisle. But now, more than ever, foods you can store at home for later use can make or break your weekly meal plan, and running to the grocery store or stopping by a fast food joint might not be possible in the area where you live.

Enter: These healthy frozen meals that you'll actually want to eat. They're the perfect excuse to skip cooking for the night. Think about it: Drinking a glass of wine and relaxing for the evening sounds much better than breaking a sweat cooking, especially after being stuck at home all day. If you still want to feel kinda-sorta productive, we've also included some frozen meal kits with minimal prep time that are super delicious and healthy.
