1. Jack Links Original Beef Sticks
You might remember Jack Links as the company behind the beef jerky that is available in most gas stations or for the commercials it aired that featured Bigfoot. The company now offers its beef sticks in a one-pound package that comes with 20 sticks. Each stick is individually wrapped for freshness and can last for months. These affordable beef sticks are available in a larger size and go through a smoking process that instills each stick with a natural hickory and slightly smoky flavor.
2. Tillamook Country Smoker Beef Sticks
If you want beef sticks that taste great and are affordable, you might consider this set from Tillamook Country Smoker. The package comes with 36 beef sticks that equal a full pound. A mixture of dry and liquid ingredients add a rich flavor to the beef. That beef also goes through a long smoking process that helps those herbs and spices penetrate through each stick. These sticks are great for snacks at home and meals on the trail.
3. Keto Sugar-Free Grass Fed Beef Snacks
Those following the keto diet need to watch their sugar intake closely, and these beef snacks follow that diet because they are free of added sugars. A single stick weighs just one ounce and has only 80 calories and six total grams of fat. You get 12 sticks in the package that you can use as quick snack at home or work. The company behind this snack uses beef sourced from cattle who rely solely on grass for food.
4. Vermont Smoke & Cure Jerky Sticks
Unlike other snack sticks that only use beef, these jerky sticks use a combination of beef and pork to give each one a rich and salty flavor. These snacks provide the extra protein for more energy during the day but are low in sugar and do not contain any gluten. Suitable for those on low carb and paleo diets, this package comes with 24 sticks. Each stick is a single serving and has 80 calories and six grams of protein.
5. Slim Jim Snack Sized Smoke Meat Stick
You might remember snacking on Slim Jim treats as a kid or a college student. These snacks haven’t changed much over the years and still have a slightly spicy flavor that many people love. This package comes with 120 sticks that weigh more than 0.2 ounces, making each one just the right size for a quick snack on the go. The sticks come individually wrapped for splitting the box between home and work or your car.
6. Tomer Kosher Beef Sticks
These Kosher beef sticks are suitable for a wide range of people with food allergies because they do not contain any soy, gluten or MSG. This sampler pack lets you try some of the top flavors and pick your favorites to keep from feeling bored as you snack. You get several original sticks and others that use cajun seasonings, pepper or jalapeño. Some sticks have a general hot flavor too. The variety pack comes with 24 sticks, eight in the original flavor and four each of the other flavors.
7. Weaver’s Beef Sticks
These cheap beef sticks have the flavor that you love but cost less than some of the other top treats. Each package comes with 80 beef sticks that weigh a total of 40 ounces. A serving size is two sticks, which contains 140 calories and three carbs. The Daniel Weaver Company who makes these sticks works with the FDA to make sure that the cows used are grass fed and that all ingredients used in the mixture are safe for customers.
8. Original Bulk Beef Sticks
Called both the original bulk beef sticks and the top beef sticks, these snacks are much softer than others because the beef retains some of its natural moisture during the curing process. You get a full pound of beef sticks and can have a single stick as a serving. That serving contains one carb and one gram of sugar while also giving you five grams of protein. As they have less sodium per serving than other snacks do, these sticks taste less salty too.
9. Old Wisconsin Beef Snack Sticks
Made from a combination of beef and turkey, these sticks have a slightly different flavor than others do. That rich and intense flavor also gets a boost from the curing process, which the company uses to add some spices and seasonings to the mixture. The included container is resealable to keep the sticks fresh, but those sticks come in individually sealed packages too. You can easily keep a few at home, in your car, at work and in your bag.
10. Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks
Those following the paleo diet may prefer these beef sticks, which serve as a convenient snack that fits within the rules of that diet program. The beef used in the sticks comes from cows that are fed only a grass diet. Those cows are not exposed or given any type of grain. The garlic summer sausage flavor might remind you of one of your favorite holiday treats too. This set comes with 10 of the best beef sticks.
