Zero Sugar Original Smoked Sausages

These smoked sausages are great when you just want a quick little snack. They’re keto-friendly with zero sugar, which makes them an easy option if you’re watching your carbs. They taste pretty good and are convenient to grab when you need something between meals. A nice snack to have on hand without worrying about added sugar.

These smoked sausages are a great sugar-free, protein-filled snack to keep on hand. I like grabbing a few before heading out for a day of delivering packages because they're easy to eat on the go and help keep me going between stops. The flavor is really good, and I love that I can have a satisfying snack without adding a bunch of sugar. They're convenient, filling, and perfect for keeping in my delivery bag. Definitely a great option for busy days when you don't always have time for a real meal!

Taste is good

I was bewildered by the many and varied reviews for a variety of dried, smoked “portable” sausage snacks. So, I thought I might share with you my experience and personal evaluation of seven different brands. Missing is the Jacks line, as I wanted bulk versions, not individually wrapped. Any of these, included in the picture, I would willingly buy. There’s one, however, NOT in the picture, that I literally threw away! It was inedible, with bits of bone, ground up gunk, and not a great flavor. If you stick to the ones here, you won’t be disappointed. I’ve listed each one, in order of my favorite first, with characteristics of each: 1st-Tillamook Hunters, Thin skin, great smoke 2nd-Tillamook Original Smoked, excellent 3rd-Bavarian Meats Original, slightly vinegar 4th-Cattlemen’s Cut Old Fashioned, has a filler 5th-Iowa Smokehouse Original, leaves a “coating” in the mouth 6th-Oberto Cocktail Pep, a little spicy for my tastes, but a nice flavor Your tastes might vary from mine, and I didn’t test all of the varieties on the market.

Beware: if you buy them you may also want to sit there eating these while writing a review on your love hate relationship with these ridiculously delicious meat sticks while lazily lying in bed. They’re so good. Why are they so good? You can’t just eat one. Are they good for you? No. I feel my arteries closing up on me as I lay here eating these. But I just can’t stop eating them. IMO they are too expensive for what you get. But I still buy them. Don’t buy them because then you’ll want to keep buying them like me. I highly do not recommend but also highly recommend because WHY are they so good?

I don't know if it's the spice they use or the wood they use to make it taste smoky but every so often I bite down on a piece of something that tastes very weird. It's a powerful flavor that stops me right there and I can't eat anymore. I wish I didn't buy so many bags. I just threw them out.

Excellent taste and texture.

Good taste, zero carbs, zero sugar! The price is right too - priced about the same as other brands without all the added sugars, carbs and fillers! I'd rank these in the top 3 for taste of smoked sausages in this style (out of dozens I have tried). I really like the flavor. The smoke isn't overpowering, and the spice is light and just right so that you can really taste the meat. A lot of jerkies and sausages will mask the flavor of the meat with fillers, sugar etc. Recommended to eat within 3 days (usually happens), or you can refrigerate after to keep more fresh, although I think you could leave out for a week or two in the sealed bag if needed, I never had a problem. Definitely buying more. I just wish they were cheaper, but these are standard price for meat sticks, so I cannot take off any points for that. Super recommended!
