Carnivore Diet Breakfast Snack Ideas – On-the-go
Carnivore Crisps
If you love a good crunch, I highly recommend trying out Carnivore Crisps. They offer tons of different meat options, such as organ meats, lamb, different cuts of beef like ribeye, brisket, and top sirloin, and even wild game like elk.
If you’re on the go and don’t have time to cook or if you’re looking for a nutrient-dense shelf stable snack for backpacking trips, airplane rides, or long periods of time away from a fridge, Carnivore Crisps are a great option.

The Carnivore Bar
Like Carnivore Crisps, The Carnivore Bar is another wonderful (and tasty) shelf stable option.
They offer three bars (all made with dehydrated beef for a nice crunch!):
- beef + tallow
- beef + tallow + sea salt
- beef + tallow + sea salt + raw honey
My personal favorite is the raw honey variation. After trying the honey bar for the first time, I woke up craving another first thing the following morning.
The salted bar isn’t bad, but taste-wise, I would never choose it over the honey bar. If I was looking to stay low carb, however, or was trying to stay away from sugar, I’d choose the salted bar.
I was not a fan of the unsalted bar. I don’t know if there is ever a scenario where I would choose an unsalted variation of something over a salted one.

Ashley Rothstein develops tasty, whole food, animal-based recipes that include a moderate amount of “minimally toxic” plant foods. To fix her own health issues, she bounced around between the carnivore, keto, and paleo diets for a few years. After experiencing and studying each diet philosophy, she learned she feels her best by merging the three and following an animal-based diet. As a glut at heart, she likes to channel her creativity and create meals that are healthy but also satisfy her inner gluttonous spirits.
Any breakfast idea that DOESN’T imitate plant-based foods (except bacon and eggs)?
