Livestock vs frozen food for interplanetary travel to Saturn's moon

Set in the year 2216 C.E.

Imagine a spacecraft with a crew of twenty is leaving for Enceladus, moon of Saturn which is estimated 1.272 billions km away in a matter of months using the next generation super energy efficient ion drive capable of reaching the destination within 3 months.

How can the crews ensure they could survive throughout the journey with either livestock or frozen food?

Note: The most economic solution wins meaning try to save on fuel too and BTW all my crews are allergic to potato. Ignore the spacecraft trajectory for now, it is going to rely on Jupiter gravitational assist but not retracing Cassini's route.
