Looking for healthy snacks for adults that don't hide behind a long label? Love's Jerky Co. makes thin, crispy beef jerky we call meat chips, using a family recipe passed down from our founder's dad, Leroy. Our flavors use between one and four ingredients, and the beef is not marinated. Pick a flavor, build a box, and snack on something you can actually read the label on.

Why Love's Is Great for Healthy Snacks for Adults

Most snack labels read like chemistry homework. Ours don't. Plain Beef is 100% beef and nothing else, and our other flavors add only a few simple seasonings like salt, black pepper, garlic or New Mexico red chili.

We slice the beef thin and dry it until it crunches like a chip. The beef is not marinated, we add no preservatives beyond what is in some sauces, and our sodium runs lower than many brands. Every batch is handmade and made fresh weekly, which is why we sell out often.

Whatever you choose, enjoy it as part of a varied diet and check the label against your own needs.

How to Choose Healthy Snacks for Adults by Flavor

Start with how much seasoning you want, then decide on heat. Here is a quick way to pick:

  • Plain Beef: 100% beef, pure beef flavor, no heat. The shortest label we make.
  • Real Salt: top round beef and unrefined Redmond Real Salt. Also available grass-fed and finished.
  • Salt and Pepper: a hint of salt and cracked black pepper, no heat.
  • Garlic Delite: minced garlic for a deep, savory punch, no heat.
  • Red Chili Powder: New Mexico red chili with garlic salt, medium heat.

Tips for Stocking Your Clean Snack Drawer

A few habits make simple-ingredient snacking easier to stick with, whether you're at a desk, in the car or between meetings.

  • Keep a few 1.5oz bags in your work bag, desk and glove box so a good option is always within reach.
  • Read every label, including ours. Sodium varies by brand, so compare lists side by side.
  • Pair jerky with fruit, nuts or veggies for a more varied snack plate.
  • Mix one no-heat flavor with one Red Chili Powder bag so everyone in the house finds a favorite.
  • Check the made date and plan to finish bags within about 6 months.

5oz vs 1.5oz and the Sample Pack: Which to Buy

The 1.5oz bag is the grab-and-go size, ideal for bags and desks. The 5oz bag costs about 25% less per ounce, so it suits flavors you already love.

Not sure yet? The Sample Pack gives you six 1.5oz bags of six flavors for $50 with free shipping. Free US shipping also applies to any order over $66.

Why Thin and Crispy Beats Thick, Chewy Jerky

Most jerky is a jaw workout. Ours is sliced thin and dried until it crisps up like a chip, so it bites clean and the beef flavor comes through fast.

Every cow is different, so some batches run a little chewier. The flavor stays the same either way.

Healthy Snacks for Adults, Made With Simple Ingredients FAQ

What makes your jerky one of the healthy snacks for adults?

Our ingredient lists are short, from 100% beef in Plain Beef to four simple ingredients in Garlic Delite. The beef is not marinated and sodium is lower than many brands. Check labels and enjoy as part of a varied diet.

Are these healthy snacks for adults spicy?

Four of our five flavors have no heat at all. Only Red Chili Powder carries medium heat, from New Mexico red chili. If you're unsure, start with Plain Beef or Salt and Pepper.

Is the jerky chewy or crispy?

It's thin-sliced and dried until crisp like a chip. Every cow is different, so some batches are a little chewier, but the flavor stays the same from batch to batch.

How long does it last?

About 6 months from the made date. We make it fresh weekly with no added preservatives beyond what is in some sauces, so check the made date and enjoy it while it's at its best.

Does it contain allergens?

Products with no listed allergens have no wheat or soy ingredients. Everything is made in a facility that handles dairy, peanuts, wheat, egg, soy and tree nuts, so consider that if you have a serious allergy.

How fast does shipping take, and can I return it?

Orders process in about 2 days. USPS takes 5-8 business days and FedEx Home Delivery 4-7. Shipping is free over $66. Food sales are final, so report any problem within 7 business days of delivery.
