8 August 2024
They say variety is the spice of life, and they may be right. But we say, if you really want to experience freedom and the excitement of what life has to offer, grab yourself some biltong by the bag, and get out there amongst it! No need to spend an hour in the kitchen preparing cumbersome snacks that’ll only wilt before you get a chance to eat them. With a bag or two of beef biltong at your side, you can embrace the spirit of spontaneity and go wherever your day takes you, safe in the knowledge that your trusty biltong snacks will power you through when hunger takes hold.
10 Relaxed Pastimes Enjoyed with Biltong Snacks
Even thrill-seeking adventurers need to take a step back and indulge in some relaxing pastimes once in a while. Here’s 10 chilled outdoor activities you can enjoy with a biltong snack in hand.
Scenic Drives
High in protein and low in carbs, biltong is a satisfying snack that’ll keep your internal motor running, even on long road trips and scenic drives. Plus biltong meat snacks won’t drop any crumbs or leave greasy smears on your steering wheel or seats!
Beach Picnics
The great thing about biltong snack packs is that they don’t need any special refrigeration, and they don’t spoil easily in warm temperatures either. Can you think of a more ideal or tasty morsel to enjoy on a sunny beach day? No! Neither can we!
Nature Walks
Not only will your Jack Link’s biltong protein snack fit into a small space in your backpack without adding much weight, but the sustained energy also boost it’ll provide makes it perfect for physical activities like walking and hiking.
Stargazing
Picture the scene. You’re lying on a picnic rug gazing up at the constellations in the sky, basking in the serenity, when someone in your group tears open a bag of chips and starts chomping loudly. Argh! Don’t be that guy! Break open a bag of biltong instead and feed your appetite quietly…without disrupting the tranquillity.
Botanical Gardens
Limit the amount of rubbish you bring into the botanical gardens by carrying a handy packet of biltong meat snacks with you. They are great to share with friends and the empty packs can be folded up in your pocket until you can find a bin to dispose of them.
Outdoor Yoga or Tai Chi
Biltong is a protein-rich snack that’s easy to digest and won’t weigh you down, making it suitable to enjoy both before or after light exercise such as yoga or ta chi. The slow release of energy may help you to maintain stamina and focus, and the protein may also aid muscle recovery.
Casual Fishing
When you’re out fishing on the water you need to have your wits about you and your hands free at a moment’s notice, so it makes sense to pack a snack that you can eat one handed, that fits neatly into your tackle box.
Alfresco Dining
Entertaining guests? Take your charcuterie board to the next level with the addition of some Jack Link’s traditional or chilli biltong. Not only is it a healthy snack that can be enjoyed on its own, but it also pairs well with other foods, such as cheeses, fruits and other finger foods.
Bird Watching
Bird-watching enthusiasts (much like the star gazers) will appreciate biltong for the quick and quiet snack that it is. Stave off hunger without scaring the birds away or disturbing the peaceful natural environment.
Local Markets
You don’t want to be rubbing your greasy mitts all over some poor market stall holder’s wares, do you? Give the donuts and the churros a swerve and grab a pack of Jack Link’s beef biltong instead. Not only are they a mess-free snack, but they come in a handy snack sized pack, so you can eat a bit and save the rest for later.
No matter how you spend your weekend or what relaxing pastimes you choose to engage in, don’t forget to take your favourite beef biltong for some top tier snack action on the go!
