10 Easy Gluten Free Snacks

A lot of people, when they find out my kids and I are gluten free ask what we can eat. Here are some easy snack ideas:

1. Fresh Fruits
We eat a lot of fruit, except melons!  Lainey is allergic to all melons-cantaloupe, honey dew, and watermelon. That'll be another post topic.
2. Fresh Veggies
3. Cereal
The following are a few we like and are safe:
Envirokids has a few flavors we can eat-says gluten free on the front, Chex (the ones that say Gluten Free)
Fruity Pebbles (these are a treat they get at the Grandparents' house!)
Glutino Flakes with Strawberries
4.  Popcorn
5.  Yogurt
The ones without the granola/cookie add-ins are okay
6. Trail Mix, and plain nuts
We can only eat the trail mix with real M&M's. The mixes with chocolate candies have wheat in them.
7.  Chips
The following are a few examples that are gluten free:
Fritos-plain, Doritos Cool Ranch (not regular), Tortilla Chips, Lays & Ruffles-Sour Cream & Onion and Cheddar, Cheetos, HEB brand "Doritos" are okay
8. Fruit snacks and fruit roll-ups
9. Pepperoni slices
Bryce made up "Baby Pizzas"-tortilla chips, spaghetti sauce, topped with pepperonis and parmesan cheese. I get the turkey ones at HEB.
10. Goat cheese and gluten free crackers
Our favorite crackers are the Glutino brand-cheddar, Fave goat cheese-Chavrie with Basil and Roasted Garlic
(***Always verify ingredients and check for cross-contamination issues if you have Celiac disease. We are not Celiac, so we can eat things made in the same warehouse as wheat products and things that have the disclaimer-May contain traces of wheat.  But, we stay away from all things that list the following in the ingredients: wheat, rye, barley, malt, hops, spelt, rye. My family doesn't react to oats. Some gluten intolerant people do-so you might need to check items for oats if that's the case for you)
