Carnivore Diet Snack Ideas
1. Carnivore Crisps
If you love a good crunch, I highly recommend trying out Carnivore Crisps. They offer tons of different meat options, such as organ meats, lamb, different cuts of beef like ribeye, brisket, and top sirloin, and even wild game like elk.
If you’re on the go and don’t have time to cook or if you’re looking for a nutrient-dense shelf stable snack for backpacking trips, airplane rides, or long periods of time away from a fridge, Carnivore Crisps are a great option.

2. The Carnivore Bar
Like Carnivore Crisps, The Carnivore Bar is another wonderful (and tasty) shelf stable option.
They offer three bars (all made with dehydrated beef for a nice crunch!):
- beef + tallow
- beef + tallow + sea salt
- beef + tallow + sea salt + raw honey
Update: They now offer honey salted, honey unsalted, honey BBQ, and zesty garlic flavors.
My personal favorite is the raw honey variation. After trying the honey bar for the first time, I woke up craving another first thing the following morning.
The salted bar isn’t bad, but taste-wise, I would never choose it over the honey bar. If I was looking to stay low carb, however, or was trying to stay away from sugar, I’d choose the salted bar.
I was not a fan of the unsalted bar. I don’t know if there is ever a scenario where I would choose an unsalted variation of something over a salted one.

3. Heritage Biltong
Like Carnivore Crisps and The Carnivore Bar, Heritage Biltong is another wonderful (and tasty) shelf-stable snack.
While biltong is not beef jerky, it is a South African snack that is similar. I was skeptical at first since I have never liked beef jerky or snacks that resemble it.
When I got the snacks, I left them with my husband to try first. When I came back, he was pleasantly surprised at how much he liked them. He is picky, so that intrigued me.
And when I tried them myself and enjoyed them, I was officially impressed.
Heritage Biltong offers four different flavors. All are good. The flavor is subtle (more of an aftertaste), yet deep. It doesn’t taste synthetic. I liked “Classic” the best, followed by Smoked, Garlic, then Spicy.
If you end up giving Heritage Biltonga try, use my code ASHLEYR10 for 10% off.
Note: the biltong includes spices, so if you are strict carnivore, this snack will not work for you.
4. Epic Beef + Beef Liver Bites
Like the above three snacks, Epic Beef + Beef Liver Bites are also shelf-stable and nutrient-dense.
It’s one of my favorites. I eat it multiple times per week.
I pair these bites with Opal apples and raw cheese (pictured below). It’s like Lunchables, just way better.
Note: these bites include spices, so if you are strict carnivore, this snack will not work for you.
