When you don’t have time to whip up dinner, having helpful staples on hand in your freezer can be a real life saver. Whether it’s a quick protein like crispy fish fillets that you can serve with rice or a salad or a complete meal in a bag like chicken lo mein with veggies, frozen food can really come through in a pinch — especially on days when your fridge is running on empty. Even breakfast and lunch can benefit from quality freezer foods like berries for fresh smoothies or a burrito you can microwave and eat on the go.
ALDI fans know that the freezer section is not to be overlooked. It’s full of quality products from Italian style gelato to organic veggie burgers, and even premium seafood like ahi tuna steaks. But the choices can feel overwhelming when you’re making your way down the frozen tundra of the freezer aisle. To help you sort through all the options, we sampled all the ALDI frozen goodies for you to determine which products belong on your shopping list.
Ahead, you’ll find some of our tried and true frozen ALDI favorites that deserve a spot in your freezer.
Del Real Tamales
We love frozen tamales, because thanks to the corn husk wrapping, the filling steams up beautifully in the microwave, making this one of our favorite last-minute meals. Aldi sells several flavor varieties, but we love the classic pork in red sauce.
Breakfast Best Cinnamon French Toast Sticks
You might get these frozen cinnamon french toast sticks from Aldi for the kids, but don’t surprised if you find yourself making them for breakfast, too. They’re great with a cup of coffee.
Oreo Frozen Dairy Dessert Bars
We love a good frozen dessert, and these name-brand Oreo bars are one of the tastiest options at Aldi, so treat yourself to a box of five chocolate-covered, cookies-and-cream filled ice cream bars.
Fusia Asian Inspirations Mandarin Orange Chicken
Ditch the pricey takeout and opt for this cult-favorite orange chicken for a tasty last-minute dinner. Serve with rice or noodles and your favorite steamed vegetable for a complete meal.
Whole & Simple Southwestern Style Chicken Quinoa Bowl
This nutritious protein-packed quinoa bowl is filled with chicken, brown rice, sweet potatoes, black beans, corn and peppers. Makes a great quick lunch.
Belmont New York Style Cheesecake
If you feel rediculous buying an entire cheesecake but want to enjoy the occasional slice, these frozen cheesecake slices are perfect for when the mood strikes. Rich, creamy New York style cheesecake in a classic graham crust is pretty hard to beat, but they offer other flavors, too. We love the plain one since you can dress it up with fresh berries.
Park Street Deli Thai Coconut Chicken
Just heat and serve these fully-cooked flavorful chicken thighs and serve with a side of coconut rice for a quick and delicious Thai-inspired weeknight dinner. You can also slice the chicken up and throw on top of a salad for a healthy lunch.
Season’s Choice Berry Medley
We love these frozen berries for quick smoothies, desserts, muffins and more.
Fremont Fish Market Beer Battered Fish Fillets
The ease of these crispy battered fish fillets comes in handy on busy nights. Throw them in a taco and serve with slaw and guac for a delicious Mexican dinner.
My/Mo Mochi Ice Cream
We’re obsessed with My/Mo Mochi ice cream from ALDI. It comes in a variety of flavors, including ripe strawberry, sweet mango, and double chocolate. The little ice cream bites are portable and a quick way to satisfy a dessert craving.
Season’s Choice Asian Seasoned Vegetable Medley
We love these stir-fry veggies for a quick dinner. They’re pre-seasoned too, making mealtime even easier.
Specially Selected Ahi Tuna Steaks
These premium ahi tuna steaks are an amazing deal and come individually vacuumed wrapped for maximum freshness. Pan sear, bake, or grill these tuna steaks for a delicious and quick seafood dinner.
Bremer Original Meatballs
Here’s why we love about these frozen meatballs — the family size pack is ready to eat in just 40 seconds. So, on nights when you don’t have time to cook meatballs from scratch, pop these in the microwave and toss them on your pasta and you’ve got dinner.
Sundae Shoppe Caramel Cookie Crunch Gelato
This indulgent Italian style gelato comes in three delicious flavors — caramel cookie crunch, mixed berry, and triple chocolate. It’s rich, creamy and a great value.
Earth Grown Vegan Black Bean Chipotle Burgers
These flavorful vegan burgers earned the Good Housekeeping stamp of approval for good reason. The protein-packed patties are made with brown rice and black beans and make for a satisfying veggie burger.
Casa Mamita Bean and Cheese Burritos
We love these microwavable frozen burritos for a quick and satisfying lunch when you’re craving Mexican food. They come in a few flavors, including bean & cheese and beef & bean.
