Camping Snacks Made for the Great Outdoors

Camping food has to work harder than food sitting in your kitchen.

Space may be limited. Refrigeration may be limited. Preparation may be inconvenient. And after hiking, setting up camp, or spending the day outside, you probably want something that actually tastes good.

That makes portable, shelf-stable foods particularly useful.

The Smarter Jerky™ is made from whole non-GMO soybeans and delivers plant protein plus fiber in a resealable bag built for everyday life - including life outdoors.

What Makes a Good Camping Snack?

Useful camping snacks tend to have several things in common:

• easy to pack
• little or no preparation
• portable
• satisfying
• shelf-stable before opening
• easy to portion
• minimal mess

Some popular options include nuts and seeds, dried fruit, whole-grain crackers, nut or seed butter, trail mix, roasted legumes, and jerky-style snacks.

The Smarter Jerky™ fits naturally into that list.

Jerky for the Trail - Made From Soybeans

Jerky and outdoor travel have gone together for generations. We kept the convenience and chew. We changed the protein source.

Instead of beef, The Smarter Jerky™ begins with whole non-GMO soybeans. Depending on flavor, each bag provides:

• 15 to 19 grams of plant protein
• 8 grams of fiber
• 0 mg cholesterol

The result is a savory option that travels well and offers something traditional meat jerky generally does not: fiber.

Why Protein + Fiber?

Outdoor snacks are often marketed around one feature - protein, calories, carbohydrates. But food is more than one number.

Dr. Rizwan Bukhari, MD, FACS, vascular surgeon, lifestyle medicine specialist, nutrition expert, and Medical Director of All Y'alls Foods, explains:

“I encourage people to look at the complete food rather than one nutrient in isolation. Whole soybeans are interesting because they naturally provide both complete plant protein and fiber.”

Easy to Pack. Easy to Enjoy.

Camping already requires enough planning. Your snack should not.

The Smarter Jerky™ can travel in backpacks, day packs, camp kitchens, RVs, road-trip coolers, luggage, and picnic baskets. No cooking required when you simply want to snack.

Cook With It at Camp

The Smarter Jerky™ is not limited to eating straight from the bag. Try chopping it and adding it to:

• breakfast potatoes
• eggs
• campfire beans
• wraps
• rice bowls
• baked potatoes
• salads
• pasta
• tacos

Snack it. Top it. Cook it.

That versatility means one bag can serve multiple purposes in your camp kitchen.

Camping, Hiking and Road Trips

Outdoor adventures often begin with a long drive. That makes The Smarter Jerky™ useful before you even reach the campsite.

Pack it for road trips, hiking, state parks, camping, RV travel, picnics, boating and travel days.

“Convenience strongly influences what people eat away from home. Having portable foods you already feel good about choosing can make travel and outdoor days easier.” - Dr. Rizwan Bukhari, MD, FACS

Take Texas Flavor Outside

The outdoors does not require bland food. Choose from bold Texas-inspired flavors:

Black Pepper & Sea Salt - Classic and savory.
Prickly Pear Teriyaki - Sweet-savory with a Texas twist.
Prickly Pear Chipotle - Smoky with a touch of heat.
Jalapeño Barbecue - Big barbecue flavor with jalapeño kick.

Pack The Smarter Jerky™

• Portable? Check.
• Shelf-stable? Check.
