Prepare the turkey jerky.
Take 3 ounces of turkey jerky and cut it into bite-sized pieces if desired. This makes it easier to eat and share.
Tip: Choose a jerky with minimal added sugar or preservatives for a healthier snack. -
Rinse and dry baby carrots.
Rinse 1 cup of baby carrots under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Tip: Dry carrots well so any added seasoning or dips stick better. -
Add healthy fats.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the carrots or use it to lightly coat the jerky pieces. This adds healthy fats to meet the target macros.
Tip: You can also use avocado oil or your preferred healthy oil. -
Optional: Prepare hummus dip.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of hummus into a small bowl to serve alongside the jerky and carrots. This adds extra protein and carbs to reach the calorie goal.
Tip: Use plain or flavored hummus to add variety. -

Arrange the turkey jerky pieces and baby carrots on a plate. Add the hummus dip if using. Enjoy immediately as a nutritious snack.
Tip: Serve chilled or at room temperature.
