Meat Bars
For a truly epic snack or meal replacement bar, start with meat. Whether you’re a fan of beef, turkey, lamb, buffalo, or even wild boar, there’s a paleo-friendly and keto option that’s right for you and your diet. Meat-based snacks are truly the way to go when you’re aiming for a daily protein quota. And when you shop with Thrive Market, you can count on us keeping your health goals in mind, which is why our high standards ensure that not just any meat will do. To claim a spot on our shelves, we look for brands like the ones below that support sustainable agriculture and the humane treatment of animals.
Top Meat Bars Brands
These three brands are the cream of the crop when it comes to making the best meat bars around.
Mighty Organic
Since 1996, Mighty Organic has been creating meat snacks that are free of synthetic hormones, pesticides, and antibiotics. And before federal standards were in place, the brand relied on third-party certifications to ensure its organic, grass-fed meat met its high quality standards.
Epic
Epic’s mission is to shift the conversation around animal welfare and show what’s possible when companies partner with ranchers who support grassland restoration. The brand offers a full range of meat-centric products like bone broths, bites, and bars.
Wild Zora
Wild Zora started in 2011 when a family went on a quest to find low-sugar snacks to feed their kids. Combining meat and vegetables was a priority from the beginning, and what began as a series of kitchen experiments using local, grass-fed beef and garden veggies has expanded into a snack line you can truly feel good about eating.
