The BEST Ancestral-Inspired Snacks + A Hard Truth About What’s Hiding in Your Food & Water
I have two of my FAVORITE ancestral snacks for you today, and trust me—you’re going to want to make these ASAP. I’m giving all readers the full recipes so you can try them out immediately.
But before we get into the good stuff, let’s talk about how far I’ve come (and thousands of others) with our snacks…
I used to think I was making healthy choices by eating Quest protein chips, protein bars loaded with gut-disrupting additives, and "high-protein" snacks filled with artificial flavors and processed junk.
I was all about convenience, but at what cost? My digestion was wrecked, my energy…well let’s just say I needed a nap every day, and I was constantly feeling off.
Now? I love to keep it simple—beef, fish, and single-ingredient, nutrient-dense foods. No fillers. No weird additives. Just real food that actually fuels my body and keeps me FULL rather than crashing or craving more food an hour later. And let me tell you—it makes all the difference.
If you’re still reaching for protein bars or “macro-friendly” snacks that seem healthy but leave you feeling bloated, sluggish, or unsatisfied, consider this your sign to upgrade!
