Meal prep: Large batch veggie mix stir fry for the freezer

I just can't do weekly meal prep meals for the fridge. The thought of eating something out of the fridge on Thursday that was made on Sunday. Is a no for me. 

But I also want to use more variety of veggies. And I love veggies that are cut out kind of small so the flavors mix. But who wants to cut up a million things each day? I don't. So here is what I am doing instead. It is earth shattering I tell you.

Here is one I just did last Sunday.

This is a list of ingredients that I put in a stir fry mix for the freezer. I calculate about half a pound per portion. That is a nice size for a veggie side. We had this with some shredded barbeque chicken made in the crockpot. And some lettuce and a diced avocado.

This batch made almost 4 batches of 1 pound bags of veggie mix to serve two adults. Your milage may vary.

5 carrots sliced thinly

1 onion diced

Handful of green beans cut in 3/4 inch pieces

Handful of Shitake mushrooms diced

4 bell peppers, different colors, seeds removed, diced

3 mini zucchinis diced

2 florets of broccoli, steamed for 2 minuets, finely divided, cooled.

Mix everything. Divide up into half pound per person. I put the portions in thin food safe plastic bags, then put 3 of those into a freezer bag and into the freezer. It is much better to freeze in a glass container, so do that if you can. 

Then on the day that you want to use a portion, remove it from the freezer in the morning and by dinner time it is thawed and you can stir fry or use as you please.
