Mission Meats: A Savory Keto Friendly Treat
/Mission Meats got high marks in our adult taste panel and was the favorite savory snack. Overall this company is truly just great! They use all grass-fed beef, do not add nitrates or nitrites, offer free shipping on all orders and donate 10% of proceeds to charity. Let’s dive a little deeper into their products!
The Grass Fed Beef Sticks Tasty Original are sold in a large number of different options from a 12 pack which cost $23.95 ($2.00 each) to a 144 pack for $254.95 ($1.77 each). Each 1 oz stick contains 80 calories, 6 grams of fat, 1 gram of carbohydrate and 7 grams of protein so just under a 1:1 ratio. The child size version is 0.5 oz and contains 40 calories, 0.5 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of a fat and 4 grams of protein. They also offer Tasty Original flavor Beef Bites which were my personal favorite. Warning: The bag contains 4 servings…it would be very easy to eat the entire package at one time.
The Blazin’ Pepper and Hoppin’ Habanero are other good options for keto – with a much spicier taste than the original flavor. In 1 oz this product contains 80 calories, 6 grams fat, 1 gram of carbohydrate and 8 grams of protein so also under a 1:1 ratio. These go great with guacamole which would easily increase your fat intake.
The Hardwood Smoked Bacon Pork Stick has a little bit more fat compared to the beef sticks but also contain slightly more carbohydrates due to a small amount of maple sugar for flavor. Each 1 oz container is 110 calories, 8 grams of fat, 2 grams of carbohydrates, and 8 grams of protein (about a 1:1 ratio). The Cracked Pepper Pork Stick has 100 calories, 9 grams of fat, 1 gram of carbohydrate and 7 grams of protein (a little over a 1:1 ratio).
They offer the Ultimate Keto Sampler Pack which is a great option for first time buyers. It includes a variety of products but to be aware that some turkey products are included. Don’t get me wrong the turkey is still delicious but they do contain significantly less fat (about 1.5 grams) compared to 6 to 8 grams in the beef and pork products.
Overall Mission Meats is a top-notch company that makes a great product. If you have further questions about their products, they were very quick to respond to our inquiry and extremely helpful so reach out to them!
