You have to love a company whose slogan is “Don’t be Jerky.” Zora of Wild Zora Foods wanted a healthy alternative to the sugary, high carb snacks. When she did not find what she was looking for on the market, she created Wild Zora snacks with all natural grass fed beef and vegetables that are minimally processed. Her promise is “to make for you the same ‘real food’ that [she] give[s] to [her] own children, family and friends.”
Wild Zora bars are gluten free, grain free, soy free, nut free and milk free (except Cheesy Parmesan). They contain no artificial ingredients.They use only grass-fed beef with no antibiotics or added hormones. The bars have a low glycemic index, too. Thy come in three flavors: Spicy Cayenne Apricot, BBQ Hickory Tomato and Cheesy Parmesan. For you paleo and Whole 30 folks, the BBQ and Spicy Cayenne Apricot are paleo and Whole 30 approved. Another important thing… they taste amazing!
The bars are slim bars that come two to a package/serving. I originally tried these from The Feed. When I opened the package, I did not know what to expect. The bars smelled good so I went for it. I tried BBQ Hickory Tomato. It was delicious and even through it is only 55 calories/bar, I felt very satisfied. It took more than the edge off of my hunger. The BBQ flavor is very tangy and you can’t taste the veggies except tomato. (Read: you can sneak these by the most finicky carnivores! Get them to eat some kale and more.)
I wrote to Wild Zora and they sent me a few of each flavor to try and a few of each to giveaway… so keep reading! I did my taste testing on the road and these are super convenient and easy to bring along. As I said, the BBQ is tangy and has a nice smoky flavor. The Spicy Cayenne Apricot has a kick and a bit of sweetness from the apricot. This was by far my fave! The Parmesan Basil was tasty and has low sugar, but it was my least favorite of the three. They say these are very popular with kids.
