High-Fiber Snacks
High-Fiber Snacks: Look Beyond Protein
Protein gets plenty of attention in the snack aisle. Fiber deserves attention too.
When people shop for snacks, they often focus on one headline number and miss the bigger picture. A smarter approach is to look at the whole food and the whole label.
That means considering:
- protein
- fiber
- ingredients
- sodium
- added sugar
- saturated fat
- serving size
At All Y'alls Foods, we created a savory snack that brings more to the table than people typically expect from jerky.
The Smarter Jerky™ is made from whole non-GMO soybeans and delivers plant protein plus fiber in a familiar jerky-style snack.
Why Fiber Matters in a Snack
Fiber is naturally found in plant foods and can be part of a more balanced approach to everyday snacking.
Many high-protein snacks do not offer much fiber at all. That is one reason The Smarter Jerky™ stands apart.
Dr. Rizwan Bukhari, MD, FACS, vascular surgeon, lifestyle medicine specialist, and nutrition expert and Medical Director of All Y'alls Foods, explains it this way:
“People frequently shop for protein and overlook fiber. I like seeing both represented in a convenient food instead of focusing on protein alone.”
A snack does not need to be complicated to be smarter. Sometimes it simply means choosing something that delivers more than one nutritional benefit.
Protein + Fiber in The Smarter Jerky™
The Smarter Jerky™ is made from whole non-GMO soybeans, not animal meat.
Depending on flavor, each bag provides:
- 15 to 19 grams of plant protein
- 8 grams of fiber
- 0 mg cholesterol
That combination is unusual in the jerky category.
Instead of settling for a snack that is all about protein and nothing else, shoppers can choose a savory option that offers a broader nutrition profile while still delivering the chewy, satisfying experience people love about jerky.
That is why we call it The Smarter Jerky™.
What to Look for in High-Fiber Snacks
If you are looking for better snack options, start by turning the package around and reading the label.
Useful things to compare include:
- fiber per serving or per package
- protein content
- ingredient quality
- sodium
- added sugar
- cholesterol
- saturated fat
“There is no single number that makes a food healthy. I encourage people to look at protein, fiber, saturated fat, sodium, added sugar and the ingredient list together.” — Dr. Riz
Why Whole Soybeans Matter
Whole soybeans are the foundation of The Smarter Jerky™. They naturally provide both complete plant protein and fiber.
“Whole soybeans provide complete plant protein while naturally bringing fiber along with them. That combination is one of the reasons I find whole-soy foods so interesting nutritionally.” — Dr. Riz
