Key Ingredients
Grass-fed Bison
Bison meat has a rich flavor profile and is an outstanding source of minerals, B vitamins, and protein, containing more protein per serving than beef.
Kidney Beans
The high fiber content of kidney beans has a wide range of health benefits, from aiding in digestive health to promoting healthy metabolism - even aiding in weight loss.
Pinto Beans
Pinto beans are nutritious legumes rich in fiber and plant-based protein - two essential nutrients that Western diets typically lack.
Jalapeño
A type of spicy chile pepper, jalapeños derive their spicy flavor and health benefits - such as increased metabolism and improved digestive health - from a compound known as Capsaicin.
Sea Salt
Salt keeps you hydrated and helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels. It contains minerals like zinc, iron, potassium, magnesium, iodine, and more that boost your body’s immunity.
