Hormel REV Meat Snack Mix and a Giveaway

Yes, you read that correctly. MEAT snack mix. Shelf stable meat snack mix. I know what you're thinking, my initial response was to wrinkle my nose a little, but I'll try anything once. Plus, I have teenagers so I was sure I could find willing taste testers. It just sounds odd, doesn't it? Still, we were excited to give it a try.

Snacks are serious business around here, as I'm sure is normal for most households with busy teens. Teenagers can be bottomless pits and don't always make the healthiest of choices. Often times they just reach for the fastest, most portable option they can find. This means chips are gobbled up a lot more often than an orange is peeled. Portability and ease are two huge factors when it comes to my busy teens and what they nosh on. Healthy and portable is ideal for my family.

Hormel REV Meat Snacks offer a great solution to our snacking conundrum. There are five amazing flavors; Honey Mustard Bacon, Turkey Ranch, Pepperoni & Cheese, Pepperoni Pizza, and Spicy BBQ and Bacon. The Pepperoni Pizza and Spicy BBQ and Bacon were the hands down favorites with my hungry crew. The kids were excited by the flavor, how well they fit in a back pack, and insisted they were "fun". I like that the mixes are made from real meat and cheese, contain up to 12 grams of protein each, and keep the kids far more satisfied long term than something like a candy bar or other traditional quick snacks. They get three huge votes of approval from this family!
