I recently received the Tanka Bar to try. Now I know your like a what ??? Let me tell you about this meaty sweet treat.

The Tanka Bar is an Authentic Native American Food. It is Buffalo and cranberry in an energy bar. It is from a historic Lakota recipe. The Lakota Indian tribe is one I learned about just a few years ago. I was a foster parent and the agency I went through was the American Indian adoption agency.

The ingredients in the Tanka Bars are Buffalo, Cranberries, Salt, Water, Less than 2% of flavorings, granulated garlic, and granulated onion.

I had received two bars to try one was spicy hot and the other was original. I also received a pack of Tanka Bites.

I decided to do a taste sampler with the whole family, including my sister and also my nieces and nephews, and my mother.

Upon first reading the wrappers, we were all absolutely fascinated on how much better the bison meat is for you. It is way more nutritional than beef. Iron is a huge factor for my entire family due to everyone being pretty iron deficient. The Iron is 3.42 mg in the Tanka Bars, where as Beef only is 2.72% and pork and chicken a little over 1.1% ! It also has less cholesterol and fat than beef, pork, chicken, and sockeye salmon! The protein count is very good too, and it has the least amount of calories.

These are very healthy and 100% natural and by our standards that is a definite plus for this product

They are also pretty innovative and unique. I mean sure everyone has had slim jims and beef jerky, but it isn’t everyday you get to say you ate buffalo !! My younger nephew and my sons thought this was pretty cool.

Now for the true test. The TASTE….Everyone really liked them. The only thing we were not excited about was the smell on the breath of the guys who were the ones who tried the hot spicy bar. They definitely needed breath mints, but if they were a bunch of guys eating it up at hunting season or something, this would make a fabulous healthy food, and would keep them going on energy enough to bring that buck home

The traditional flavor bar and bites didn’t seem to be as potent in the smelly breath category. But were very good. The kids loved them, grandma liked them, the moms liked them, and the guys definitely loved them.

So I would, under my families taste test, give these Tanka Bars and Bites a HUGE THUMBS UP on health, nutrition, flavor, innovation, uniqueness, quality, and taste. And we all loved that they are from a historic Lakota recipe. It means a lot to my family to support American Indians. We have American Indian in our bloodlines.
