Ready to switch things up this Easter and skip the sugar-heavy snacks without sacrificing fun or flavor?
Beef jerky has enough savory crave-worthiness to please any palate. Plus, each resealable bag serves up several grams of protein to keep kids fueled for all the holiday activities.
Make Perky Jerky’s Turkey Jerky snacks or Wagyu Beef Jerky the star of the show for a healthy Easter basket that will have no one missing the sweets.
A DIY Guide to High-Protein Easter Snacks Everyone Will Love
Arranging a basket that’s filled with savory Easter treats is as simple as 1-2-3. Make sure to fill it with different textures and eye-catching colors, and if sweet tooths in the family prevail, sneak in a few, small chocolate or candy favorites without making them focus.
Step 1: Choose Your Jerky
Kids are typically drawn to milder flavors, which makes the Tasty Teriyaki Turkey and the Original Beef Jerky flavor the optimal additions.
However, let adults in on the Easter basket fun and elevate the possibilities with Wagyu Beef Jerky or the peppery kick of the Hot & Bothered Turkey Jerky as high-protein Easter snacks.
Step 2: Pair It With Other Savory & Healthy Snacks
As you put together your beef jerky Easter basket, add in other tasty and healthful snacks kids will go gaga for. Bunny-shaped cheese crackers, a mix of dried and fresh fruit, and squares of dark chocolate are ideal for achieving a sweet and savory mix.
Step 3: Get Creative with Festive Presentation Ideas
However, regardless of which savory Easter treats you include, it’s all about the presentation.
Use paper grass to nestle beef jerky packs and other chosen snacks into the basket.
Then, fill reusable Easter eggs with portioned trail mix, fig bars, and chocolate and peanut butter protein balls. An alternative if you prefer to go plastic-free is to cut part of an empty egg carton, decorate it with stickers, and fill the individual cups with snacks.
