Sometimes you just need something more substantial for a snack, and jerky is a solid choice – it is high in protein and doesn’t raise your insulin levels.   You need to carefully check the labels here though to ensure a brand that isn’t full of high sodium ingredients – look for natural ingredients.  Somewhere in Oklahoma or Texas we passed a road side stand selling homemade buffalo jerky and my husband offered to stop…unfortunately I am not as adventurous as some of my co-workers (Ashley for example has tried everything from antelope jerky to ostrich jerky!) and I was very content to nibble on my turkey jerky as we passed on by the buffalo jerky stand…  I’ve included an easy, delicious anti-inflammatory recipe to make your own beef jerky.
