Why Love's Is a Great Post Workout Protein Snack

After training, you want something simple. Our jerky is beef first, with short ingredient lists and flavors that range from plain to Hatch green chile. Several flavors list no allergens at all, so you can grab a bag without decoding a long label.

It also eats differently than most jerky. Every slice is thin and dried until crisp, so you get a satisfying crunch instead of a long chew. That makes it easy to snack on in the car, in the locker room or on the walk home.

We make it fresh every week in small batches, and it sells out often. It keeps about 6 months from the made date, so a few bags can live in your gym bag, your desk and your glove box. Handmade, crispy and ready when you are.

How to Choose a Post Workout Protein Snack Flavor

Your best flavor depends on what you want after a session: something clean and simple, or something with a little punch. Here is how our lineup breaks down.

• Plain Beef and Real Salt: the simplest picks. Plain is 100% beef, and Real Salt adds only unrefined Redmond Real Salt. Real Salt also comes grass-fed and finished.
• Salt and Pepper or Garlic Delite: no heat, just more savory flavor. Garlic Delite uses authentic minced garlic for a deep, savory punch.
• Hatch Green Chile: teriyaki sweetness with smoky, earthy chile, mild to medium heat. It won 1st Place at the International Flavor Awards.
• Lemon Pepper: bright citrus and black pepper with no heat. It took 3rd Place at the International Flavor Awards.
• Check the table below for allergens before you order.

Tips for Snacking on a Post Workout Protein Snack

A little planning makes jerky an easy part of your gym routine.

• Keep a 1.5oz bag in your gym bag so a snack is always within reach after training.
• Pair jerky with water and fruit or a piece of whole-grain toast for a more complete post-training bite.
• Rotate flavors across the week. Try a no-heat flavor after leg day and Hatch Green Chile when you want something bolder.
• Read labels on any snack, including ours. Sodium varies by brand, and jerky fits best as part of a varied diet.
• Store bags in a cool, dry spot and check the made date. Shelf life is about 6 months.

5oz vs 1.5oz: Which Post Workout Protein Snack Size to Buy

Why a Thin, Crispy Post Workout Protein Snack Wins

Thick, chewy jerky can feel like a workout of its own. Ours is sliced thin and dried until it snaps like a chip, so it is easy to eat when your jaw and appetite are both ready for something quick.

Every cow is different, so some batches run a little chewier. The flavor stays the same. Our beef is not marinated, which keeps the focus on the meat itself and the simple seasonings we add.
