Wild Zora Paleo Jerky… With Vegetables?

Wild Zora BarDo you like beef jerky? Why not get your greens while you’re at it?

That’s what Zora was thinking when she came up with idea for Wild Zora Beef and Veggie Bars. She wanted a healthy snack for her family that didn’t contain the high amount of sugar that other packaged snacks typically have.

And many beef jerky products contain nitrates, preservatives, msg and a high amount of salt. Zora wanted to avoid those ingredients as well, especially if her family was going to eat these foods on a regular basis. All ingredients in her snacks are natural – including being grass fed beef jerky.

Even though we are now seeing a growing number of paleo protein bars that do not contain “sugar” as an ingredient, there are very few jerky snacks that area all-natural and that go beyond just meat.

The thing is that if you are a jerky eater, snacks can become boring quite quickly if they have limited ingredients and seasonings. If you want to stick to a healthy snack plan, your best chance of success is to have variety.

What I Like About Wild Zora Paleo Jerky:

The bars are thin and pack a ton of nutrition (including 8-9 grams of protein) into just 55 calories per bar (there are 2 bars per package). If you are looking for a low-calorie, low-carb snack that doesn’t short you on nutrients, I think you’ll like this paleo jerky.

It’s also gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free and dairy-free. Check out the flavor options and ingredients listed below the video. By the way, you can find out more about this “out-of-the-box” company here.

What Do I Think About the Chicken Primal Bar?

Chicken Primal Bar Package, Nutrition and ingredient ListDo you want a high-protein meat snack, but you get tired of beef jerky?

Or maybe you want an all-natural protein bar that has minimal carbs?

Perhaps you prefer a complete protein bar instead of one that contains processed protein powder?

Or possibly you just want to bite into a piece of chicken?

In any case, the Chicken Primal Bar will work for you. Well, probably. It has proved to be very pleasing for lots of other people. Not that you’re like them, or anything.

I Love Savory Meat Snacks Like the Chicken Primal Bar

Anyway, I really like meat snacks. Yes, protein bars taste great, but the savory chewiness gets me with treats like beef or bison jerky.

Not only do I like salt (especially after a workout or when I go hiking), but it tends to leave me more satisfied after I eat it. Sweet snacks sometimes leave me craving more, even if they contain fruit or a natural sweetener.

Furthermore, chewy foods let me enjoy the process of eating for longer. This tactic really works for me when I try to lose weight or want to eat less. Chewy foods. Try it sometime. =)

Just like other meat-based paleo protein bars on this site, the chicken has no added hormones. The bar contains no gluten, sugar, artificial ingredients or nitrates.

I really like the Chicken Primal Bars because they contain lean chicken. Therefore, you can digest them easily. Plus, if you have a hectic schedule, travel a lot or multi-task (like me), then you’ll probably appreciate this.
