These 5 Frozen Meals from Sprouts Are a Total Weeknight Lifesaver

When life gets busy, your freezer can become your best friend. Stocking it with a few reliable, ready-to-eat meals means dinner is never more than a few minutes away — no recipe required, no takeout menu needed. Whether you’re juggling work, wrangling kids, or simply too tired to cook, frozen meals can offer comfort, convenience, and even cost savings.

Enter Sprouts Farmers Market. The Arizona-based natural food retailer is known for its fresh produce and wellness-oriented products, yet its freezer aisle is a hidden gem. From hearty burritos to nostalgic pizza bites, Sprouts provides a variety of frozen meals that are both delicious and mindful of ingredients.

What makes Sprouts stand out is the balance it strikes: familiar, feel-good options that also meet the criteria for organic, plant-based, or gluten-free eating. Whether you’re unpacking boxes in a new home or relaxing on the couch after a long day, having a few of these meals on hand can make all the difference.

Here are five standout frozen meals from Sprouts that offer both comfort and convenience to your kitchen — all with zero defrost drama.

Brazi Bites Cheddar & Parmesan Brazilian Cheese Bread 

Most of the world was first introduced to pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) when Rhode founder and model, Hailey Bieber, posted a cooking video with her Brazilian mother and grandmother making this traditional dish from scratch. Known for its fluffy, cheesy interior and lightly crispy exterior, these ball-shaped cheese breads are a staple in South America. They are also naturally gluten-free as they’re made with tapioca flour.

Whether you’re in the mood to snack on cheesy bread bites at the office or want to serve them alongside an entree for guests, Brazi Bites’ Brazilian Cheese Bread can be the perfect quick and impressive solution. Simply bake them at 400°F for 20 minutes or air-fry for 15 minutes.

Snow Days Organic Cheese Pizza Bites

For many, frozen pizza bites (or pizza rolls or pizza-bagel bites) are nostalgic childhood classics. “Bagel Bites were absolutely central to my childhood. The chew and flavor of a microwaved Bagel Bite are etched in my memory forever. Legendary after-school snack experience,” says Food & Wine news and deals writer Adam Rothbarth. While senior food editor Audrey Morgan calls frozen pizza rolls a “quintessential after-school snack and also a sleepover flex.”  

The Snow Days Organic Cheese Pizza Bites, available at Sprouts locations, are a nutritious reimagination of the iconic frozen pizza snacks from other brands you may be more accustomed to.  Snow Days’ version is made with sweet potato, tomato, olive oil, carrot, bell pepper, garlic, spinach, apple, and mozzarella.

Once air-fried, expect these delicious bites to become crispy on the outside and gooey, cheesy, and tomatoey on the inside. Just make sure to let them cool off before that first bite, as Morgan warns, “I do have many sad memories of burning my mouth.” 

Sprouts Burrata & Basil Filled Gnocchi 

Gnocchi as a weeknight dinner is one of the most satisfying meals you can prepare, and it’s underrated in terms of convenience. Stuffed with a burrata cheese and fresh basil filling, the Sprouts Burrata & Basil Filled Gnocchi cooks quickly and offers a bit more excitement than your typical gnocchi dinners, thanks to the creamy, aromatic filling inside.

You can easily sauté these in butter, olive oil, cherry tomatoes, and seasonings. Alternatively, you can boil them for a softer texture. Once they’re cooked, enjoy them with a classic butter and Parmesan sauce or toss them with your favorite pasta sauce. One reviewer even compares them to homemade, “I've made gnocchi from scratch before, and these tasted similar. These are the best I've ever had that are from the freezer.” 

Red’s All Natural Bean & Cheese Burrito

A bean and cheese burrito is the ultimate comfort food, so finding the right one truly matters. When you do find the perfect burrito, be sure to grab more than just one. Keeping a tasty stash of frozen burritos in the freezer can be a lifesaver for last-minute dinners or lunches when you need it most. 

The Red’s Bean and Cheese Burrito, rated 4.5, is made with an organic wheat flour tortilla, pinto beans, white cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, tomato paste, jalapeño peppers, garlic, and various seasonings. One additional ingredient to note when it comes to Red’s All Natural Bean & Cheese Burrito (which some bean and cheese burrito enthusiasts may not expect) is the inclusion of brown rice in the filling. 

A Sprouts customer’s review reads, “By far, the best-tasting bean and cheese frozen burritos on the market. Clean ingredients that you can actually pronounce.” A pack of Red’s burritos is priced at $7.99 and includes four burritos. 

Sprouts Pancake Bites (Chocolate Chip, Maple, Banana, or Berry flavors) 

Making pancake batter and flipping each pancake from scratch on busy mornings can take more time than ideal. If your kids (or you) love pancakes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these Sprouts Pancake Bites might just be the ultimate mini upgrade you’ve been looking for. Packs of these mini pancakes come with 35 pancake bites for $6.49 and can be found in the frozen section in three different flavors: Chocolate Chip, Banana, Maple, and Berry. 

The puffy, mini-sized pancakes are ready to eat in just 50 seconds according to package instructions. One reviewer finds that these are an excellent backup for kids when parents get busy, calling this frozen breakfast treat “convenient and tasty.” On the Sprouts website, all four flavors of the Pancake Bites received either a rating of 4.5 or 4.8. Another reviewer jokingly warns, “I bought two boxes and we ate them all in one day. Don’t buy if you don’t have self-control.”
