Myprotein Biltong Review

 

A high protein, low carbohydrate snack, with the finest South African prime beef cuts and available in two flavours.

Myprotein Biltong is a traditional beef snack made to an age old South African recipe using the finest cuts of prime beef. The beef is air dried and seasoned, naturally high in protein and has absolutely no carbohydrates making it the perfect snack for people looking to lose weight, tone up, gain lean muscle and lead a healthy lifestyle when looking for protein rich foods. 

I have tried two flavours to review, the original flavour and peri peri flavour. You can read my review for each of these protein rich snacks below. Each bag of biltong comes with an inedible oxygen absorbing sachet which you should throw away once opening.


Myprotein Original Biltong Review

This was my preferred biltong of the two because the peri peri was a little too spicy for me (if you like your spicy food then you will love it!). When you first start eating it you can tell the beef is of a high quality with a dark rich colour and thick texture. I found it took 2-3 sittings to finish the bag (so you can eat it over a few days) so for just £3.99 a bag it is great value to include in your daily diet.

The bag is 100g in size, costs £3.99, and gives a detailed run down of the nutritional properties. The fact that it has a huge 39g of protein per bag and 0g of carbs makes it a fantastic high protein source snack. The biltong pieces aren't too large (but big enough to get a good taste from) which makes them easy to digest and, although seasoned, has a mild taste which makes it appealing to everyone who likes beef. There is a bit of a chewy texture as you would expect from beef; this is also a positive factor because when you are chewing it you taste the quality of the prime beef and sense some of the seasoning used.

I would give this high protein low carbohydrate snack 7/10.

Myprotein Peri Peri Biltong Review

As aforementioned, I did not enjoy this as much as the original because it is quite spicy. It is very similar to the original other than having the peri peri added into it; it has the same nutritional properties and ingredients. There are quite a lot of peri peri grains which meant I found there was slightly less biltong in it than the original as well. If you like hot foods then there is no doubt you will like this product but I tend to like mild/medium snacks which meant I just found it quite difficult to finish the bag.

Purely for the taste with the spices, I would give it 5/10.
