    Tanka Buffalo Snacks come in Real Food Bars and Sticks

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on September 10, 2014 Dairy-Free Snack Reviews, Product Reviews

    Tanka is a neat brand that should definitely be explored by anyone who loves jerky, buffalo meat, and has concerns about the additives in, and quality of, their food.

    Tanka offers an assortment of buffalo bars, sticks and jerky, all labeled as gluten-free, nitrate-free, hormone-free, and antibiotic-free, and made with Native American grass-fed buffalo. And yes, from what we noted on our last check, all seem to be dairy-free, too!

    Tasting Notes for Tanka Buffalo Snacks

    We sampled just a small handful of their offerings to get a taste for the general selection.

    Slow Smoked Original Tanka Bar

    Their traditional flavor was my introduction to this interesting combination of buffalo meat and cranberries. It looks like jerky, but is a tender meat bar dotted with lightly sweetened cranberries. The overall bar has a nice balance of sweet, savory and smoky. I really love that the whole thing is just 70 calories! It’s about the size of an ordinary snack or energy bar, but with 1/3 to 1/2 the calories and no funny business.

    Apple Orange Peel Tanka Stick

    Delicious! I loved the lean but tender texture. As well as the surprisingly sweet, spicy, and smoky flavors all rolled up into one. I think they could omit the touch of sugar cane (still only 3 grams of sugar per stick), as it was unnecessarily a little sweeter than the Original Bar. The sticks are a good alternative for a meaty snack that is still somewhat soft and forgiving.

    Warrior Bar

    The Warrior Bar was a joint creation between Tanka and Onnit, but it still had that strong Tanka vibe. Each bite of this generously sized snack (see below) was a little sweet, a little spicy (thanks to the pepper blend), and very meaty. Interestingly enough, the dried cranberries are very fresh tasting, nearly squirting out juices with every bite!
