Today, I want to tell you about a really great product I recently discovered... the "Tanka Bar." As many of you already know, I use a social networking and micro-blogging service called "
Twitter" and I can't say enough about how many amazing people it's put me in touch with. It was through twitter that I learned about the Tanka Bar and the amazing company and people behind the product.
The
Tanka Bar is a 100% all natural nutrition bar that contains buffalo meat and cranberries. The bar is based on a centuries-old Native American recipe that used fruit to preserve dried meat. It's dairy and gluten free, contains no artificial preservatives, no trans fat and is hormone free. So, it's got none of the bad stuff... and so much of the good for you stuff! The bars are made with buffalo that has been raised without the use of antibiotics and hormones. And in case you didn't already know, buffalo is one of the best proteins available. It's low in saturated fat and cholesterol, the stuff that's no good for you. And, it has Omega-3 fatty acids, which are excellent for you! And of course, cranberries are good for you food too.. they're full of antioxidants!
I received a box of 12 of these bars to try one day last week and within the day... they were GONE! My honey and I loved them. My 3 kids absolutely RAVED over them! I shared them with several family members and every single person enjoyed them. They have a delightful smoky-sweet flavor. A satisfying chew. Don't confuse these bars with jerky. They're really nothing like that. These are moist and plump and we thought they were far more delicious than any of the jerky type products we'd ever had. Tanka bars are really in class of their own. They would be great for a quick and tasty pick-me-up after a workout, a wonderful healthy snack for kids on the go. They don't need refrigeration so they would be a perfect camping or hiking food. And at only 70 calories per bar, they make a awesome food for even the most calorie conscious person.
I could go on and on praising these bars. They are just *that* good. Another thing I admire so much is the company behind these bars. Native American Natural Foods, LLC was founded in 2005 on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, owners Karlene Hunter and Mark Tilsen imagine a world filled with healthy foods that add to the restoration and preservation of our lands and ecosystem -- a world without the pain of starvation or obesity. The world they imagine embraces the lifestyle that Native American people lived just over a century ago.
Comapany Mission"Our mission is to heal the people and our Mother Earth by building a company that innovates new food products based on the traditional values of Native American respect for all living things by living in balance with mind, body, and spirit."
