High Protein Snacks For Mums On The Run – Biltong + Jerky

You know when you are starving hungry and find yourself in a petrol station, looking around at a sea of carbs and sugar?

Bad position to be in!

And then I saw a packet of  Nobby’s Beef Jerky and though: ‘Beauty!’

Expensive, yes, but I’d enjoyed dried meat before.  I like the chewiness, the strong flavours, the saltiness.

And I really like how much protein there is and how little fat or carbohydrate.  12.3g protein, 1.3g fat, 3.1g carbs in the packet.

Salt is sky high though and the price was… pricey.

Soon after that, I was then delighted to find my local butcher stocking biltong made by Springbok Delights.  It was cheaper and had no MSG or preservative, unlike the Nobbys.

And I might try some biltong from Biltong 2 Go as well, they deliver Australia-wide.

Would you stash some biltong or jerky in your handbag ?

 Or is just too chewy for you?

Happy chomping

I’m closing down ‘The Mum’s Diet’ blog which I ran for a year in 2012. Some of the posts are coming over here, this is one of them.
