For longtime readers of our blog and fans of our facebook page, you know that we are no strangers to Paleokits, or to the amazing people that make them. We had the great pleasure of meeting Steve Liberati himself a few weeks ago during a trip to Philadelphia to promote our book, Make it Paleo. We got to work out at his box, Crossfit Tribe, and then walk to the other side of the building and raid Paleokits headquarters. It was awesome! Of course, this was not our first experience with Paleokits – not by a long shot. We first got to try these tasty snacks in early 2011, and have gotten our hands on them a few times since then. They are fantastic to have on their own, but even better when you’re in a pinch and need good, clean food when options are few. We especially like having these in our bag when we travel.

Raiding the Paleokits warehouse at Steve’s Original HQ

When Steve asked if we’d like to review his products, we (of course) were happy to accept. We have been fans for a long time, yet this was a chance for us to dig in and try some of the things we had not yet gotten our hands on. Here are some of the things that were in our care package from Steve (we literally got to try almost everything!):

Original Paleokit
The original – which includes Jerky, Nuts and Berries.
Grassfed Paleokit
Like the original, but with grassfed beef.
Coconut Paleokit
Jerky, coconut and strawberries (One of Bill’s favorites)
Apple Pie Paleokit
Jerky, pecans, almonds and apples (okay, I’m getting hungry….)
Paleo Krunch (this is like granola, and if you have a spoon nearby, watch out.)
Paleo Krunch Bar
Paleo Krunch Bar (seasonal flavor: Pumpkin)
Original Just Jerky
Grassfed Just Jerky
Paleo Stix (Original, Grassfed and Spinach)
Dried Apples (so good), and
Berky (Berries and Jerky)

Honestly, if there is a drawback to Paleokits – it’s that we will often grab them to munch on preferentially over a meal. But thats not a bad thing for Steve – it’s just tough to keep them around for when they’re needed. We’re planning on sending some of these to Hayley’s sister, Caitlin, who is currently living in the Dominican Republic and teaching English. She’s going to be so pumped when she reads this! 🙂 Thank you Steve for having us review all these wonderful products!
