A Better Way to Snack: Discover Thrive Market Beef & Turkey Sticks

Midday snack cravings? Before you reach for one of those ubiquitous packaged jerky sticks, there’s something you should know: Most of the ones you see in convenience stores are made from low-grade meat and loaded with questionable ingredients and preservatives. Luckily, there’s a better option: Enter Thrive Market Beef and Turkey Sticks. They’re made from just the good stuff, like high-quality, grass-fed beef, free-range turkey, and spices. (Oh, and they’re Whole30 compliant, paleo, and delicious.) Read on to learn more about these better-for-you snacks.

Why You Should Make the Switch

Ever wondered what’s really in those iconic packaged jerky sticks at the gas station? According to an article by Wired, you don’t really want to know. Mechanically separated chicken, hydrolyzed soy, corn, wheat, and sodium nitrate seem to be just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what’s lurking inside. Along with one sixth of your daily amount of sodium. Needless to say, these beloved snacks were in dire need of an upgrade, which is why we made it our mission to make a cleaner, simpler version.

“It was really challenging to find the right partner for our Beef and Turkey Sticks. They had to meet our high standards for quality and animal welfare,” says Jenna Engleman, Director of Thrive Market Goods. “After months of searching and utilizing our in-house meat expert Mike Hacaga, we found protein suppliers that really raised the bar across all of our values.”

Meet Our Meat Sticks

Our Beef Sticks are made with 100% grass-fed beef from Tasmania, where the cows are free to roam green pastures their entire lives. They’re never pumped with antibiotics or growth hormones to increase yield. Along with top-quality meat, we only use simple ingredients in our recipe, like spices, sea salt, and citric acid. You’ll never find any artificial preservatives, MSG, soy, nitrates, or nitrites.* We believe this results in a better-tasting and healthier product. Choose from Original or Jalapeño flavors.

Similar to our Beef Sticks, our Turkey Sticks follow the same stringent standards of animal welfare and ingredient transparency. We use free-range turkey that’s humanely raised in the USA without the use of antibiotics or growth hormones. This recipe also consists of only wholesome ingredients (no artificial preservatives, MSG, nitrates, or nitrites).* Enjoy both flavors: Original or Jalapeño for an extra kick.

As an added bonus, our meat sticks are Whole30 compliant, paleo, and gluten-free, so you can snack freely!

*Except for those naturally occurring in cultured celery powder and sea salt.
