Best Keto Meats

For some, one of the best things about being on the keto diet is that you can eat as many meats as you want. In fact, the more that you eat, the better it is for the diet itself.

Keto is an easy diet to follow when you’re a meat-lover, but it becomes a chore at times when it comes time to snack, and you’re tired of eating the same stuff over and over again. Then you remember there are meat snacks, and life makes sense again.

Here are the best keto meats for those that love meat or just want a tasty meat snack in between meals.

9 Best Keto Meats

There is so much talk about the different kinds of desserts that you can make when on keto, and a lot of the snacks seem to revolve around sweets as well. But what about for those of us that just aren’t that big on sweets or are trying to avoid them, so we don’t revert off the keto diet?

If sweets aren’t the kind of snack you are looking for, you just need to find a snack that won’t throw off your keto diet while taking care of those cravings. That is where snacking meats come into play for a lot of us.

I tried to keep in mind many factors when coming up with this list, as I aim to give my readers the best possible choices out there. After all, I wanted to provide you with as unbiased of a list as possible.

In order to give you an unbiased list, the following factors are what was used:

All of these, along with my own personal opinion, are all taken into account to try to provide you with the best meats on the market today. So, without further ado, here are my choices for the 9 best keto meats.

Old Wisconsin Beef Sausage Snack Sticks

First on the list is Old Wisconsin Beef Sausage Snack Sticks. These are small sticks of meat that are ready to eat and come in a resealable plastic container for later use if you don’t eat them all right away.

These are perfect for those that like the taste of beef jerky but aren’t in the mood to chew at the meat for minutes before being able to swallow safely. The best way to describe eating these little snack sticks is that it’s similar to eating a small stick of salami.

They aren’t hard on your teeth, and you don’t need to struggle with chewing them, but they still taste similar to beef jerky. The meat itself is spiced, and hardwood smoked, giving it that delicious smokey flavor that is sure to drive your taste buds over the edge.

Unfortunately, the Old Wisconsin sticks don’t come in many different flavors, but this is the choice to go to when it comes to a straight-up meat snack. It’s high in protein and low carb, which is great for a keto snack.

The beef sticks come in two sealed plastic wraps, so after you open them out of the sealed wrap, you will need to place any leftover in the fridge. That way, they’ll be nice and fresh for the next time you need a good meaty snack.

FBOMB Keto Meat Stick

Another great meat stick to have when you’re craving a meat snack in between meals is the FBOMB Keto Meat Stick. As the name suggests, these are meant specifically for those on the keto diet and are low-carb and high in protein.

The sticks are made with pork rather than beef, giving them what I believe is more flavor than what you get with a beef stick. It also makes them a lot easier to bite into and chew, giving more room to snack before you get tired of having to work your jaw on the meat.

The hogs that are used in making these meat sticks are crate-free and vegetarian fed to ensure that only the purest meat is used. There are no additional hormones, antibiotics, nitrates, or sugars either before or after the moment the sticks are made.

These snacks are all individually wrapped, making them perfect to grab-and-go when you’re rushing out the door or just when you’re dying for a fast snack in between meals. Grab it, unwrap it, and indulge in this delicious meat stick, knowing that you’re doing right by your keto.

You can find the FBOMB’s in three tasty flavors:

There really isn’t too much that can be said negatively against the FBOMB meat snacks except for one tiny thing: they are a bit overpriced compared to their competitors. But if that’s the worst that can be said about it, then the price is definitely worth it.

Mission Meats Keto Sugar-Free Grass-Fed Beef Sticks

The best meats for keto dieters come from grass-fed animals, and that is why Mission Meats comes up next on our list. These beef sticks are made with 100% non-GMO citric acid and have no added nitrates or nitrites.

Mission Meats snacks each come individually wrapped for your convenience. These are yummy snacks that are great for either on-the-go or just want to hide your snacks nearby your favorite chair to grab at any time.

Furthermore, Mission Meats come in three delicious flavors that exemplify the flavor of the beef.

These delicious flavors include:

I know that there are a lot of people out there that are not fans of spicy, but when it comes to meat snacks, I always go for the spiciest option available. There’s just something about spicy meat that keeps me coming back to it.

Meat snacks, in general, can get kind of expensive, and Mission Meats meat snacks are no exception to this rule. It’s a good price to pay, however, knowing that your meat is healthy and tasty.

Though I have personally never run into any problems with Mission Meat snacks, there were reports a few years ago of faulty packaging that caused the meat to mold. It’s always a good idea with any pre-packed meat snack to check it to ensure it’s wrapped properly.

Don’t let this stop you from enjoying these sticks. The ingredients are all-natural and keto-friendly.

Chomps Grass Fed Beef Jerky Snack Sticks

Another fantastic option that comes straight from grass-fed meat is Chomps Beef Jerky Snack Sticks. These delicious keto-friendly meat sticks are sugar-free as well as soy and gluten-free.

These meat snacks come in a variety of flavors that other meat snacks have a hard time trying to keep up with, and every flavor has its own kind of addictive taste that is sure to keep you coming back for more.

In total, there are 8 flavors, and they are:

With a large variety of tastes and a couple of different meat choices, Chomps has a lot to offer all the different kinds of people on the keto diet. There are spicy, salty, and sweet flavors filled in every single bite when you chomp on a Chomp.

Chomps are another individually wrapped snack, so just grab one on your way out the door and snack before getting in the car. Your belly will thank you for it when it realizes you’re not super hungry like you had been a moment before.

Some people think that the Chomps meat sticks taste a little bland compared to others, but the ingredients are all-natural and better for you than the comparative products. Sometimes it’s necessary to sacrifice rich flavor for health, especially when you’re on a diet like keto.

Vermont Smoke & Cure Meat Sticks

Following the trend of individually wrapped meat snacks, the next choice on this list is Vermont Smoke & Cure Meat Sticks. As the name suggests, these meat sticks come straight from Vermont and are made from vegetarian-fed meat.

I don’t know about you, but I like knowing that the meat I’m eating doesn’t have a lot of extra hormones and antibiotics in it that can enter my own bloodstream. Vermont snacks are one such meat snack as their beef is raised free of added hormones and antibiotics.

Not only is this meat safer to eat than a lot of others on the market, but they come in different meats and flavors, not unlike the Chomps.

The flavors are completely different, though, and they are:

The flavors that you can get Vermont’s in are unique and different from most others on this list. This makes them a refreshing change from what you’re used to tasting when eating other meat snacks.

There are a couple of different complaints that you’ll run into occasionally when discussing Vermont meat snacks with people. The two most common complaints are the outrageous prices and the ingredients aren’t completely ideal for keto.

They are still keto-friendly, but whereas most others on this list can be eaten without worry, you will want to watch how many Vermont’s you eat at a time.

People’s Choice Beef Jerky

Because there are people out there that love beef jerky over snack sticks, my choice in the best keto-friendly beef jerky is People’s Choice Beef Jerky. This jerky has zero carbs and sugars and is as close to an authentic beef jerky that you’ll be able to find that’s also keto-friendly.

What this means is that this is not a beef jerky for you if you’re not ready to keep on chewing until your jaw is tired. This meat is dry and tough, just like traditional beef jerky is supposed to be.

People’s Choice Beef Jerky comes in three delicious flavors, and each one compliments the bark-like meat of jerky beautifully.

These three flavors are:

This beef jerky has no nitrites or nitrates, no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or MSG, leaving this meat to be healthy to go into your body and be digested. It’s a snack designed to fill you up in between meals while also giving you some natural energy.

It can seem a little bit bland at the start when you begin chewing at People’s Choice, but you’re given plenty of incentive to keep going once you get started. You’ll find that the longer you chew on this jerky, the more flavorful it becomes.

Sogo Snacks Beef Sticks

The next choice for best keto meat is Sogo Snacks Beef Sticks, individually wrapped meat sticks that should be tried by every keto dieter looking for meat snacks. They are completely healthy and come from vegetarian-fed beef that is pasture-raised and free to roam.

The beef used to make these meat snacks are antibiotic and hormone-free, making this meat just as good for your body as it tastes. With a lack of artificial ingredients that also make these snacks Whole30 approved, you know you’re enjoying a pure meat snack.

The number of flavors that come with Sogo is immense, and even with those flavors, some have different varieties.

The main 8 flavors of Sogo are:

There’s certainly plenty to choose from with Sogo, and they are each unique and deliciously delightful. Tex-Mex and BBQ Pineapple are fantastic, and the two that I always urge people to try out for themselves.

For the most part, the price is fair for Sogo, so the biggest complaint that comes along with Sogo is a complaint that hits most individually wrapped meat snacks: occasional faulty packaging. Once again, always check your meat snacks before eating them, and you have nothing to worry about!

Keto Carne Beef Jerky

For my last couple of choices on this list, I’m going to share a couple of other beef jerkies that I think are worth being mentioned. The first of these two jerkies are Keto Carne Beef Jerky.

This beef jerky is made with a handful of ingredients such as beef, water, and the seasonings put in the meat. These seasonings include sea salt, garlic, and other spices depending on which of the two flavors you choose.

This beef jerky is completely carb and sugar-free, ensuring you that you can snack on as much of it as you want, and it won’t affect your diet in any way, shape, or form. Satisfy your rumbling tummy with some tasty and healthy beef jerky.

Keto Carne comes with only two flavors choices, but this is due to how little of ingredients they use in their jerky.

The two flavors include:

These are the two most popular flavors to find with beef jerky, and Keto Carne did an excellent job with theirs considering the small number of ingredients that they use. In fact, this beef jerky is raved as being a keto jerky that actually tastes the way beef jerky is supposed to.

Ayoba-Yo Biltong

Last on my list, but certainly not least, is Ayoba-Yo Biltong beef jerky. This is a beef jerky unlike any other that you have ever tried, and the reason why is the way they dry the beef and turn it into jerky.

When turning the beef into jerky, they hand dry it for 14 days to make it tender and easier to chew. Not only does this make the meat juicier and easier on your jaw, but there’s also more protein per ounce because of the way it’s dried.

Other than that, Ayoba is very similar to the other meats on this list in the way that it has no artificial ingredients and is completely sugar-free. Ayoba is a keto-friendly beef jerky that is even more tender than some meats with more carbs and sugars in them to make them softer to eat.

Because Ayoba wants you to thoroughly enjoy their delicious beef jerky without lots of ingredients that could ruin it, this beef jerky only comes in two different flavors.

These flavors are:

This is for the same reason that Keto Carne only comes in two different flavors: if you want the healthiest possible options, sometimes you need to give up the flavor and enjoy the base taste.

I don’t think that’s a huge problem when it comes to Ayoba because of the way it’s dried. In my personal opinion, Ayoba-Yo Biltong is the best tasting of the three beef jerkies on this list.
