Blend lemongrass, cilantro, lime zest, and chilies with coconut oil for a vibrant base. Freeze in ice cube trays. Toss a cube into coconut milk for curries, soups, or marinades. Pro tip: Use within 3 months for peak freshness.

Mix basil, garlic, nutritional yeast, and cashews (or sunflower seeds) with olive oil. Freeze flat in bags for easy breaking. Stir into pasta, spread on sandwiches, or drizzle over roasted veggies. Bonus: Adds creaminess without dairy!

Roast red peppers, garlic, and caraway seeds, then blend with smoked paprika. Portion into jars, leaving headspace for expansion. Add to grain bowls, roasted meats, or whisk into dressings. Heat level customizable!

Simmer tomatoes, garlic, and basil; skip the cheese for a lighter sauce. Freeze in 1-cup portions for pizzas, shakshuka, or meatball subs. Thaw overnight or microwave straight from frozen.

Whisk peanut butter, lime, soy sauce, and ginger. Freeze in silicone molds. Reheat with coconut milk for noodle dishes, drizzle over grilled tofu, or use as a dip. Vegan? Swap fish sauce for tamari.

Pulse parsley, oregano, garlic, and red wine vinegar. Freeze in small jars—oil prevents ice crystals. Brush on steak, toss with roasted potatoes, or mix into quinoa. Brightens leftovers instantly!

Combine tahini, lemon, garlic, and maple syrup. Freeze in portioned tubes. Thaws creamy—perfect for grain bowls, falafel wraps, or as a veggie dip. Add water when reheating to adjust consistency.

Simmer tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, and molasses with chipotle powder. Freeze in squeeze bottles. Brush on proteins mid-cook, mix into pulled jackfruit, or glaze roasted veggies.

Blend jarred peppers, garlic, and walnuts. Freeze flat for quick stacking. Use as pasta sauce, soup thickener, or mezze platter star. Optional: Add feta before serving for richness.

Mix coconut milk, fresh ginger, and turmeric. Freeze in muffin tins for single servings. Add to stir-fries, oatmeal, or smoothies. Anti-inflammatory and kid-friendly!
