KRAVE Jerky is a brand known for leading the jerky renaissance with its unexpected flavor profiles and better-for-you snack options. You may remember that I worked with them in 2014 after trying a ton at the 2013 NY Marathon Expo. Since then they have added a seasoned original flavor and have expanded their reach.

I caught up with KRAVE at the LA Marathon, too! We watched Meb secure a spot for the 2016 Rio Olympics! If you come around here, you know Meb is my fave runner EVER! It was SO exciting!

They sent me a sampler box of KRAVE jerky and offered to send one to one lucky reader. KRAVE Jerky is “the healthier anytime snack.” It is a naturally high protein, low calorie snack. KRAVE Jerky contains lean domestic meats and all-natural, gourmet ingredients. They use no nitrates and no artificial flavors. All flavors are under 90 calories per serving. They also minimize salt and are 97% fat free. And, all flavors are gluten free! How do they get so much taste without the extra calories and preservatives? After bathing in their marinades for 48 hours, they bake it. This creates “a moist & tender jerky experience unlike any other.”

The flavors are: Sea Salt Original, Basil Citrus Turkey Jerky, Lemon Garlic Turkey Jerky, Black Cherry Barbeque Pork Jerky, Grilled Sweet Teriyaki Pork Jerky, Chili Lime Beef Jerky, Garlic Chili Pepper Beef JerkySweet Chipotle Beef Jerky and Pinapple Orange Beef Jerky

The Husband and I love KRAVE. One of the best things about KRAVE Jerky for me is that it is not tough. All of the favors are very tender. The Husband loves the beef flavors especially the Garlic Chili Pepper. For most of them he saved me at least one piece. Of the Garlic Chili Pepper, he told me that I’d “have to take his word for it!” The only beef flavor he did not try was the Pineapple Orange which I tested. I like the flavor but it seemed a bit drier to me than some of the other flavors. I love the pork flavors especially the Black Cherry. The husband was less of a fan of these. I think it is a texture thing. More for me! I am also a big fan of the turkey flavors especially the Basil Citrus. Since we originally tried KRAVE, we see it in many more stores near us and usually have it on hand.
