If you’ve ever sat down with a friend and chatted about meal prep, you might have heard all about why freezer meals are the way to go in this busy life. We are big believers in the convenience and deliciousness of freezer meals. Here are six reasons why:
1. They’re just so easy. We throw around the word convenient all the time here at Beehive Meals, because it’s one of our favorite things about freezer meals. You can pop them in your slow cooker in the morning or at lunch time, go about your day, and come dinner time when the kids are rowdy and your partner just got home from work, you have something warm and delicious to put on the table. Not only that, but you can also keep food hot if your family is going a million directions. If you can’t all sit down together, everyone can still enjoy a delicious meal.
2. Designed for a budget. Whether you purchase meals from us or fully prepare the meals yourself, you'll notice the cost savings almost instantly. Our goal at Beehive Meals has always been to offer our meals at about the same price as it would cost to do the meal yourself expect you don't have to worry about the planning, shopping, and prep work. Depending on the meal size, our meals average about $3.00 per serving!
3. Delicious and nutritious. Our meals at Beehive Meals contain fresh ingredients that are being cooked for the first time. Every time you zap your food in the microwave, or cook it down, it loses more of its nutritional value. So putting raw ingredients in your slow cooker gives you and your family a nutritious meal with delicious ingredients.
4. Choose your own adventure. We love all the various ways you can serve the same freezer meal. If you pop a pork roast in the slow cooker, you might serve it with potatoes. Or on top of bread for a fantastic sandwich. Or maybe with pasta. Or rice. Or in a stew. The options are endless. You’ll never get bored with freezer meals.
5. Eat on your own schedule. Because we use raw, fresh ingredients and vacuum seal them, you can place these meals in your freezer for 6-9 months. Then when you’re in a bind or you just don’t feel like cooking, you have something ready to go. Just because you ordered the October menu doesn’t mean it must be eaten in October. Cook at your own convenience, and enjoy freezer meals all year long.
6. Home-cooked feelings. Just because it’s been in the freezer doesn’t mean it has to taste like cardboard (*cough cough* frozen pizza). Freezer meals give you a longer storage time, but once you lift the lid of your slow cooker, all the aromas and flavors are as fresh as the day they were bagged. No one could guess you’ve used a freezer meal once you sit down at the table.
