Whether you are out running in freezing conditions at 5 am every morning, or sweating it out in an air conditioned gym after work, you know the importance of energy foods and healthy snacking.  A healthy, tasty, protein packed snack is just what you need during your training session.

 

While many health foods are packed with preservatives and colourings, fresh fruit and vegetables can be cumbersome and messy to eat when you are busy training or need a quick snack on the go.

When to eat Beef Biltong?

​

This is an ideal post-workout snack as it contains all the essential amino acids for normal healthy functions. This allows your body to be nourished with the proteins it needs to grow and repair.

​

Also Beef Biltong is high in the branch chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine which are required for muscle protein synthesis that usually takes place for up to 72 hours post-workout. This means that these amino acids are largely absorbed into the body under demand from your muscles which will also aid recovery, therefore making biltong ideal to eat regardless of your training goals.

​

Despite this being a great post-workout snack, it is an excellent food to have at any time during the day to increase your protein intake or to reduce hunger. In such easy-to-open packets, Beef Biltong is very easy to consume whether the customer is at school, home or work.

​

It is often referred to as ‘easy protein’ as it is so simple to increase your daily protein intake by eating this tasty snack as no preparation of the beef is required. You simply have to open the packet and away you go!

​

Who is Beef Biltong for?
