Are you an outdoor adventurer or constantly engaging in activities that keep you away from the convenience of your kitchen? Having the ideal snack can take away the hassle of planning and preparing food when you just want to get on the road. Biltong is not only tasty but packed with protein and essential fats, making it the perfect companion for outdoor enthusiasts. Here are five activities where biltong should feature in your snack pack.
1. Hiking
Hiking involves traversing diverse and often tough terrains, for several hours or even days. During hikes maintaining energy levels is key and biltong is a lightweight, no-mess snack that fits the bill perfectly. Its high protein content helps muscle recovery and satiation, keeping you fuelled for those long, scenic trails. Biltong is ready-to-eat and doesn't require any refrigeration, making it an excellent choice to store in your backpack on your next hike.
2. Camping
When camping, foods requiring minimal preparation are highly valued, allowing more time for fun activities. Biltong is the perfect campfire-side snack and is a great high-protein and shelf-stable ingredient in various camp meals. Generously add some biltong powder or sliced biltong pieces to any meal for a flavourful protein punch. Biltong can be sprinkled onto eggs, pasta, soups, stews and sauces, baked into bread and muffins or added to your favourite toasted sandwich, replacing the need for meat that takes up valuable space in your esky or fridge.
3. Trail Running
Trail runners face the challenge of needing lightweight, nutritious, high-energy foods that can be consumed easily on the move. Biltong fits the profile with its compact size, shelf stability and rich nutrient profile. It provides a quick, hassle-free way to absorb essential proteins and fats that aid endurance and recovery, without the digestive impact that other snacks might cause. It is also particularly handy during ultra-marathons, longer trail runs or competitive environments where carrying light is paramount.
4. Road Trips
Long drives require snacks that are filling and tasty yet won’t leave crumbs or sticky residues. Biltong is travel-friendly and offers a healthy, savoury alternative to the usual sweet or salty snacks that dominate road trips. It’s easy to store and won’t spoil easily, making it ideal for long journeys.
5. Beach Trips
Our biltong packets are ideal for beach trips due to their convenient and resealable packaging. Being lightweight and air-dried, biltong is easy to transport and store, making it perfect for a day out in the sun. It’s also protein-rich, providing sustained energy for swimming, playing, and other beach activities. Packaged biltong does not require any preparation or refrigeration, which adds to its practicality as a hassle-free, healthy snack option that can quickly be tossed into a beach bag.
