The benefits of frozen meals

We heard that frozen meals have a bad reputation, so we’re here to unpack the myths and highlight the benefits!

Here at Able Foods, all our main meals are designed using our Magic 8 Nutrition Guidelines. That’s right, we put the time into the design so that you get the worry-free convenience of healthy meals in minutes.

Here are some more reasons we think Able Foods frozen meals are a great addition to your diet:

1. Frozen food prevents food waste

Did you know that a staggering 7.6 million tonnes of food go to waste in Australia each year? That’s a mind-boggling amount, and what’s more surprising is that roughly 30% of waste comes from households¹. 

Think about all the effort that goes into getting food from the farm to your plate: the energy, the water, the resources involved in growing, harvesting, and transporting every single ingredient.

Life, as we know, can be unpredictable. A change of plans, a dip in appetite, or even just unexpected leftovers can easily lead to forgotten veggies wilting and food passing its expiration date. But what if there were a simple way to combat this food waste and have delicious, convenient meals on hand?

Enter the superhero of your kitchen: The freezer! Our Able Foods meals are designed to live happily in your freezer and can be stored for months*. Less waste, less worry.

2. Maximum flexibility

Let’s talk about the nightly dinner dilemma! You have the best intentions in planning a menu for the week because it minimises food waste, saves money, and reduces the number of trips to the grocery store. But then the day comes, and it’s just all wrong. Present-you disagrees with the decisions that past-you made.

This is where frozen meals change the game. Think of your freezer as your on-demand restaurant. Craving the familiar comfort of our Classic Chicken Schnitzel? It’s there. Feeling an urge for the slurp of our Spaghetti Bolognese? That’s ready too! It’s about embracing spontaneity without sacrificing deliciousness.
