Are Nutrisystem Meals Frozen?

 

One of the questions I get a lot on this blog (that always surprises me is):

 

“Are Nutrisystem Meals Frozen?”

 

It surprises me because as someone who’s done the diet and writes about Nutrisystem I naturally assumed the answer was clear – which just goes to show my own ignorance. So I apologize for not answering this question sooner.

 

 

It actually makes sense if you don’t know this – Nutrisystem meals have changed a LOT over the years. And there’s a lot of old and conflicting information out there.

So here’s my best answer to the question: Are Nutrisystem meals frozen?

Yes and no.

Stay with me and I’ll explain what you need to know here.

While there are over 160 different meals, shakes, snacks and desserts on Nutrisystem (and they’re always adding new ones), there are really 2 different types of meals on this diet:

 

2 Types of Nutrisystem Meals:

 

#1 Ready-to-Go Meals (Non-Frozen)

These meals are not frozen. They can be taken with you on-the-go and are very convenient to take to work, to grab on the way out the door etc. They also do not require refrigeration.

 

 

Most of the bars, shakes and snacks fall under this category. But you also have lots of meals included in this category as well. Many of these meals are freeze dried and will require you to add water or heat them up etc.

You can get ready-to-go meals like:

• Lasagna with Meat Sauce
• BarBQ Seasoned Chicken Sandwich
• Ravioli with Meat Sauce
• Thick Crust Pizza
• Heart Beef Stew
• Tuna Salad
• Honey Wheat Bagel
• White Cheddar Mac and Cheese
• Cheese Tortellini

and more.

 

 

#2 Frozen Gourmet Meals

The second type of Nutrisystem meals are the frozen meals. These tend to be much more gourmet (and frankly better-tasting) than the ready-to-go meals.

On the downside, they take a bit more work to make and are not as convenient as the grab-and-go meals above.

 

 

However they are lot more mouth-watering and Nutrisystem has really put a lot into finding the best-tasting, gourmet meals in this category.

Some of the top-rated gourmet frozen meals and snacks are:

 

• 

  Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast

• Chicken Parmesan
• Italian Sausage and Turkey Pepperoni Pizza
• Stuffed Shells
• Salisbury Steak with Mac and Cheese
• Homestyle Beef and Vegetables
• Spinach and Cheese Pretzel Melt
• Buttermilk Waffles
• Chocolate Brownie Sundae
• Red Velvet Whoopie Pie
• Chocolate Cupcake

 

So those are 2 categories of Nutrisystem meals – the ready-to-go meals and the frozen meals.

Based on that information, you can decide what kind of meals you’d like to get based on your lifestyle – the ready-to-go meals, frozen meals, or a mix of both.

 

 

But Wait! You Don’t Get the Frozen Meals With Every Plan

Nutrisystem has 3 different diet plans – Basic, Uniquely Yours and Uniquely Yours Plus (click here for a full comparison).

With the Basic plan you do not get the frozen meals – only the ready-to-go meals, shakes and snacks.

If you want the option of both the ready-to-go meals AND the frozen, more gourmet meals, you’ll need to go with one of the Uniquely Yours plans.

Otherwise, you’ll just get the non-frozen meals if you go with the Basic plan. So consider which kinds of meals you want – then that will determine which Nutrisystem plan is best for you.

So that’s what you need to know when examining the question “Are Nutrisystem Meals Frozen?”

Some are – and some aren’t.

And if you want the frozen meals (you can choose as many as you want), you’ll need to get the Uniquely Yours plan – the regular or the Plus version (which includes more meals and shakes) – click here to get a special discount.
