Protein Packed Snacks for on-the-Go Munching
Snacks are essential for summer outings, whether you’re preparing for a hike or just trying to keep little hands happy at the park. So, when the snack attack hits, opt for these more nutritious, protein-packed small bites.
The secret? These recipes use pasture-raised, grass fed meats
and wild-caught fish. This distinction gives them a higher nutritional
profile, full of good-for-you vitamins and minerals that nourish and
energize your family wherever adventure takes you next.
Chicken Gizzards
Small but mighty, pasture raised chicken
gizzards are packed with flavor and essential nutrients like protein,
zinc, iron, and vitamin B12 to boost energy and support your immune
system. Boiled, braised, or fried, there are plenty of ways to enjoy
these versatile organ meats. For a chicken nugget alternative kids will
love, swap traditional frying oil with organic grass fed beef tallow for
a healthier option, or try air-frying them and serving with a side of
BBQ sauce.
Beef Liver
Another organ
meat that packs a big nutritional punch is grass-fed beef liver. A
well-known superfood, liver is a nutrient powerhouse, delivering a high
concentration of vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12, plus essential nutrients
like folic acid and minerals such as copper, zinc, and iron. If its
flavor is holding you back, try it in smoothie form! Simply blend and
freeze your grass-fed beef liver in advance, then add a few frozen cubes
to your favorite smoothie recipe to enjoy all the health benefits
without the strong taste.
Wild King Salmon
For a fresh twist on sushi, try adding wild king salmon to on-the-go
sushi bites. Instead of farm-raised fish, opt for wild and line-caught
fish that are flash frozen to lock in their freshness. Wild king salmon
is known not only for its rich flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture but
also for its high nutritional value, packed with essential omega-3
fatty acids, vitamins D and B12, and selenium, as well as serving as an
excellent source of protein. Simple to make, just add your baked salmon
to nori sheets, rice, and your favorite toppings for bites you'll love.
