Try Out The Tanka Bar!


While I was at the Opportunity Finance Network’s conference last month, I picked up a free sample of the Tanka Bite. As their website states, “The 70-calorie Tanka Bar delivers a slow, powerful protein punch by mixing two primary ingredients: low-fat, high-energy American buffalo meat and tasty cranberries.” This little piece of beef jerky was delicious!

I’m looking into the possibility of buying a 96-case of these little bites and keeping them as a part of my daily lunch at the office. These things are so good that I’m willing to spend the $100 or so it will cost to purchase them (it’s about $1 per bite, which is a reasonable price).

There is an added positive to this product. It is made by a Native American tribe out in the Midwest. This is what you would call a socially responsible purchase since the profits are used to benefit the tribe (the Lakota tribe). It’s a great bar, check it - you’ll love it!

And when you’re done chomping on the Tanka Bar, check out New Jersey Carpet Cleaning for the best carpet cleaning in the Garden State!

E-Tanka Cafe to open on Pine Ridge Reservation
Friday, May 15, 2009


Native American Natural Foods, the makers of the Tanka Bar, and a nonprofit named Thunder Valley are opening a cafe on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. The E-Tanka Cafe will promote healthy foods and entrepreneurship. About 15 teens will be hired to staff the business. "Nobody is going to do it for us," Thunder Valley Director Nick Tilson told KOTA-TV. " If we are going to change our reservation we are going to have to do it ourselves." The cafe will offer a low-fat menu that includes the Tanka Dog, a new, all-buffalo hot dog product from Native American Natural Foods.
