Wild Zora Review
Some Paleo fans may know Wild Zora as the company that acquired Paleo Meals To Go in early 2018. Both Wild Zora and Paleo Meals To Go are proud of their selections of Paleo and primal meals and snacks made of real, wholesome food. Their common goal of bringing healthy and tasty food to lovers of Paleo cuisine around the nation is what brought the two companies together and inspired them to merge their offers into a single, richer selection of guilt-free Paleo treats now available at the Wild Zora online store. Join us as we go through its online shelves in this Wild Zora review.
How Wild Zora Works
You do not need a subscription to shop at Wild Zora. Simply stop by when you are craving some real food, pop the items you like into your cart, and wait for your shipment to arrive. Zero commitment, maximum simplicity and satisfaction.
The service offers freeze-dried, camping-friendly Paleo and AIP meals and soups, meat and veggie bars, teas, and fruit snacks, all neatly divided into categories. The assortment of items does not change all that often, but this can be great news for people who like to stick to their favorites instead of trying out new products all the time. You can always order the items you love, so there is no risk of getting something that does not suit your taste.
Both Wild Zora and Paleo Meals To Go products are designed to suit the needs of people on a variety of special diets. From AIP to Whole30 and various food allergies, these two brands cover a whole range of dietary needs that other services of this kind simply do not accommodate. We will talk about this in greater detail in the following sections of our Wild Zora review.
What Makes Wild Zora Different
There are two crucial characteristics that make Wild Zora unique and in a way superior to other similar options on the market. Firstly, this company uses only the highest-quality ingredients and employs a special approach to ingredient sourcing. Namely, it does not just look at the labels and choose ingredients that are organic. Instead, it goes one step further and carefully examines the way animals were treated before they reached the production facilities.
Wild Zora believes that healthy and happy animals are more important than a label that says “organic” and it opts for animal products in accordance with this philosophy. It only uses meat that is 100% grass-fed, pasture and humanely raised, and free from hormones and antibiotics. Since organic meat can still be grains-fed, it takes extra care that it obtains meat from farmers who feed their animals the natural way – with zero grains and a whole lot of healthy greens.
Secondly, it does not only provide products that are suitable for a number of special diets, it also strives to satisfy the needs of people with different healthy lifestyles. It offers meals and snacks designed for people who stick to real food, fans of Paleo and primal diets, Whole30 dieters, people on the AIP regimen, diabetics, and athletes. Furthermore, its products are free from gluten, grains, soy, dairy, chemicals, and preservatives. Thus, it offers a range of safe and healthy choices for individuals who want to eat completely natural food that perfectly suits their needs.
Meals And Recipes
In the Wild Zora store, you can find around two dozen healthy items, about half of which are crafted by Paleo Meals To Go. If you are looking for all-natural teas or bars made of all kinds of natural meat, healthy greens, fruit, and fragrant spices, you should browse the products exclusively created by Wild Zora. If you want to stock up on just-add-water meals, soups, and fruit snacks, Paleo Meals To Go products are made for you. You can get different kinds of delicious chilis and stews, as well as fruity breakfasts, all of which are absolutely perfect for backpacking and camping.
To make it easier for you to find what you need, Wild Zora allows you to filter the products by special diets (AIP, Whole30, Paleo), protein source (beef, lamb, pork, turkey), flavor (barbecue, spicy), and product type and narrow your choice down to items that are nightshade-free and allium-free.
Nutrition Facts
The products you can find in Wild Zora’s online store are generally low in calories. Usually, its bars and snacks have 100 to 150 calories per serving, while the company’s freeze-dried meals rarely contain more than 350 calories per serving. The average calorie count for soups is 50 calories per serving.
Generally speaking, the products are protein-packed, low-glycemic, and low in carbs. They hardly ever contain more than 450 milligrams of sodium per serving. They are designed to optimally suit the needs of individuals on the Paleolithic diet and the autoimmune protocol diet.
Preparation And Storage Tips
What we find particularly impressive is that the meals and snacks available at Wild Zora have a long shelf life in spite of being all-natural. All of them can sit on the shelf for 9 months and some of them are designed to last for 5 years, although they may lose some of their flavors after 2 years. However, it is important to make sure that you keep them in a cool and dry place, like your pantry.
All fruit snacks and bars are ready to eat, so there is no preparation involved. When it comes to meals, soups, and teas, all you need to do is add water. Every item comes with prep instructions, so you know exactly how much water to add depending on product type.
Pricing
The price you pay depends on the product type you choose. Wild Zora bars are sold in packs containing anywhere between 3 and 48 bars. A 3-pack costs $8.95, while a 48-pack comes at the price of $127.20. Therefore, you pay $2.65 to $2.98 per bar, depending on how many bars you order.
Paleo Meals To Go savory meals cost $12.95 per meal, fruity breakfasts cost $10.95 per pouch, and fruity snacks can cost as little as $8.95 per 2-pack, but you can pay less if you order more snacks. The soups start at $7.47 per 3-pack and you can get delicious teas for just $0.84 per serving.
Wild Zora offers free shipping for all US orders worth $49 or more. If your order is worth less than $49, a shipping fee applies, usually amounting to $5.95 per delivery. Therefore, it makes sense to order a bit more and get tasty food instead of paying for shipping. For international orders, the shipping fee depends on the country.
It is good to know that if you subscribe to the company’s newsletter, you get $8 off your first order.
Delivery Areas
Wild Zora ships its products throughout the US, so you can have them delivered to your doorstep regardless of your location. The service also ships worldwide. Its carrier of choice is USPS. All orders ship Monday through Friday.
If you live in the US, you can buy Wild Zora meals and snacks at selected stores as well. At the moment, Wild Zora products are available in more than 500 stores across the country. To find stores nearby, you can use the handy store locator available on the official Wild Zora website.

I regularly order a 48 bar back and my bf and I are good for at least 20 days! The price is good considering what you get, around 130$ for a 48 piece pack. No more eating junk food in our house!
I have tons of allergies and Wild Zora meals and snacks have products made for people like me and they even made it easy for me to find and choose what I need by categorizing everything according to diet type, the protein they use etc. Great job!
Animal cruelty free treats anyone? Hell yeah! And they are delicious btw!
Finally I don’t feel guilty eating snacks! Wild Zora bars are always in my bag for after a workout or when I’m at work. I don;t have to run down and buy a hot dog every time my stomach growls
Delicious snacks! We order them in bulk every month!
We were a bit mad when we found out that Wild Zora bought PMTG, because we have been ordering from PMTG for a long time and we were afraid that they would change the “menu”. We were pleasantly surprised to see that all of the meals we loved are still there and there are a couple more bars to choose from, so we’re happy with how it all worked out.
Have to say, I didn’t expect much from a dehydrated meal, but I tried Bedrock Beef Chili and Mountain Beef Stew and they were actually pretty delicious. The texture is not perfect, but you can’t expect it to be the same as a freshly cooked meal.
Best place to get camping food.
I think that a meal in a pouch should cost less than a fresh meal, but still, pretty convenient. We didn’t like all the bars we tried, but BBQ beef ones are really good and I like that it’s all really natural.
