I used to have a protein bar after training at the gym.
They were easy. Grab one, put it in the bag and go.
But I didn’t love the bloating that came with it.
When I started reading the ingredients it was obvious why.
Turns out they are basically all packed with artificial sweeteners, added fibers, and sugar alcohols that are tough on the gut.
So I started looking for something where the protein was just coming from food.
At first I couldn’t actually find anything that didn’t just boil down to cottage cheese, eggs or Greek yogurt.
Then I found Biltong Butcher.
Who knew you could get 45g of protein in a 100g bag! Those are good numbers even compared to protein bars.
Except it’s just beef. And 10 unique flavours that keep it fresh.
It doesn’t even need to be stored in the fridge so I can still grab and go just like I used to with protein bars.
Check it out.

Next time you pick up a jerky packet at the supermarket, do us a favour and turn the packet over.
Have a look at the ingredients.
You might see maltodextrin, soy protein isolate, polydextrose, sucralose and natural flavours.
Sadly that’s normal in the dried meat space.
If you want something you can trust then come down to Matakana markets on Saturday mornings.
You can taste real dried meat made the traditional way.
Each pack has 45g of protein, and is made with 100% grass fed NZ beef and has been air dried for 72 to 96 hours.
See you there.

The "anabolic window" has been disproven. It's not necessary for muscle growth to immediately consume food.
But getting hungry after a workout or any physical activity for that matter isn’t just about the ‘gains’.
Having something which is easy to throw in your gym bag means you don’t have to reach for whatever you can find on the way home.
The traditional option has always been the protein shake but we want to put forward a better option.

Biltong.
It is the real food option that solves the age old advice "Whey is a supplement of convenience. Like any other supplement, it should support a healthy diet, not replace real food."
In summary, we all need enough protein, calories and nutrients throughout the day to adequately grow. The timeframe is less important than people initially thought years ago.
But postworkout hunger can still lead to overeating and bad food choices.

Hear us out.
Every list of "healthy snack swaps" ends up in the same place.
"If you have to give in to your cravings, have a piece of fruit”.
That’s the whole problem with how we talk about snacking. Being hungry isn’t a crime.
The problem is the advice that follows.
Most fruit is extremely high in sugar. Yes there is fibre and micronutrients so this isn’t about fruit being the enemy.
It’s about understanding that the advice ‘just have a piece of fruit’ is flawed.
It moves the craving an hour down the road and hands it back to you bigger and badder, which is why nobody in the history of afternoons has had one apple and felt sorted.
The answer was never to stop snacking or eat a piece of fruit if you can’t wait for your next meal.
It is to snack properly. Biltong is 45g of protein and very low carbs so you feel full for longer.
And don’t forget the other side of snacking is actually enjoying it.

Why does finding a good high protein snack feel like a trick question?
No wonder most options in the high protein space read like text books.
They get put together in the lab as if it’s an impossible thing to get out in the wild.
Well we call bull on that.
Because beef is the answer.
High protein and it’s convenient when it is made into biltong.
And that’s where we come in.
We turn beef into 10 unreasonably delicious flavours of biltong from chilli to smokey goodness.
And when we say ‘turn’ we don’t mean Bruce becoming the hulk. We just cure beef the traditional way using airflow.
Really, we’re just taking credit for methods developed hundreds of years ago.
It turns out nature had the answer to the quiz all along.

You’ve probably never heard this popular saying "You're not going to find carrots and hummus in a vending machine at work."

But it’s the words we live by.

Let me explain.

Every stop in your day from the local cafe, to the office, to the petrol station all have plenty of snack options but none of them are good for you.

They catch the unprepared and start the dreaded cascade of cookies, muffins and donuts.

Breaking the cycle is all about being prepared so do not choose when you’re hungry.

Biltong Butcher offers subscriptions which mean you always have a forever snack ready.

Avoid the cascade effect at biltongbutcher.co.nz

The reason people quit protein powder is almost never the flavour.

"Sadly whey didn't suit my gut."

"Protein powders that absorbed quickly, like whey, make me really sick."

"I'm just iffy about the sugar alcohols. If I eat two at work, that's my afternoon gone."

Three different people, three different products, same ending. You do the sensible thing, hit your protein, and then spend the afternoon regretting it.

Biltong is different. It’s just grass-fed nz beef.

Ditch the whey at the biltongbutcher.co.nz

Nobody is annoyed at high protein snacks because they taste bad. (They sure don’t taste that good either).

They are annoyed because they read the back.

They are marketed specifically as high protein snacks, when in reality most of them only have 4g or 5g of protein per 100g, which we feel is pretty misleading.

To put it bluntly that’s embarrassing.

Biltong butcher doesn’t have that problem because it’s just grass-fed nz beef.

And 10 mouth-watering flavours to choose from.

We combine the 4 and 5 claimed by other snacks not because of food science but because beef is naturally high in protein.

So you get 45g of protein per 100g from an unprocessed food source which is still just as convenient and shelf stable as other options.

Many people say that breaking the habit of snacking between meals is just about "white knuckle it" or telling yourself "the kitchen is closed."

Others will tell you to get rid of all snacks from your house and just have fruit on hand.

But grabbing fruit is just delaying the problem. The sugar from fruit causes an energy crash an hour or two later, leaving you hungry all over again.

The real solution is having a better snack on hand. Instead of processed snacks or fruit, keep real food like Biltong available.

Packed with 45g of protein per pack, it satisfies hunger without the sugar crash.

Stop punishing yourself for being hungry and start eating better snacks. Pick your favourite flavours from our amazing range and grab a subscription so your forever snack is always on hand. Up to 25% off at biltongbutcher.co.nz.
