Have you heard the buzz about Beehive Meals? Whether it's from your favorite Instagram influencer or your next-door neighbor raving about the sweet chicken tacos, Beehive Meals has taken Utah—and now other parts of the West—by storm.
The homegrown business was founded by Allyse Jackson in 2016 when she started sharing her talent for making freezer meals. Soon, she couldn't make enough to keep up with the demand from friends and neighbors. Now, the Davis County company has upwards of 65 employees and delivers to locations in four states: Utah, Southern Idaho, the greater Phoenix area and the Las Vegas Valley.
Such astronomical growth from a small business is rare, but Beehive Meals owes much of its success to three core values that they stand by.
Convenience
If dinnertime is causing you more stress than satisfaction, it might be time to simplify your family meals. Fortunately, Beehive Meals is making it easier than ever to provide your family with healthier meal options!
Each frozen meal is delivered right to your door. When you're ready to use the freezer meal, starting with a premade base makes dinner prep a breeze. Sealed and frozen for ultimate freshness, you simply dump the meal of your choice into your slow cooker in the morning and dinner will be all but done in the evening. Each meal comes with easy-to-follow instructions and ideas for serving, like which sides to pair it with. Dinner: done.
Delicious, healthy meals
Cilantro lime chicken. Apple cider pork roast. Classic meatloaf. Is your stomach growling yet? These are a few of the current menu items available from Beehive meals during March. There's even a gluten-free menu full of tasty options for those with dietary restrictions.
The nutrition is top-notch and can fit into any diet. The balsamic chicken—just one of the delicious options this month—tallies just one gram of fat, 26 grams of protein, and 221 calories per serving. Before choosing each meal for your order, you can view the nutrition facts to find what works for you. Your family is sure to love the classic, comforting recipes!
Family-friendly cost and recipes
Family is at the heart of everything Beehive Meals stands for. The recipes Jackson uses are inspired by meals she ate growing up and she hopes they provide other families with warm memories around the dinner table.
Top 5 reasons to start meal planning
Planning your upcoming meals can reduce stress, save money and time, and even makes it simpler to choose healthy options for your family."I remember coming home to homemade dinner and eating as a family," she recalls. "I grew up with that, and that aided in my desire to prep for my own family."
Dozens of studies from institutions ranging from Harvard University to the National Institutes of Health have touted the benefits of families eating together at home. It's a worthy goal for every family to have, and Beehive Meals is a great way to make that goal more attainable. Because few people have time to pull together a meal from scratch every single night. The cost makes it easy to factor into your regular grocery budget. So instead of wasting money on those sad, wilted veggies that never get turned into a meal, your money goes toward ready-made dinners you will actually use!
Take the stress out of your monthly meal prep
Signing up for Beehive Meal deliveries is easy. All you have to do is pick a delivery date within your county and select your meal size.
