Some of my favorite gluten-free snacks
Since changing my diet over 4 months ago (I can’t believe it’s been that long) and cutting gluten and dairy from my life. My eating habits have changed. For the most part, I prefer to not try to use “gluten-free” replacements (it made with rice flour or quinoa flour) and instead try to incorporate healthier options. So, instead of eating noodles and bread, I’m eating more fruits and vegetables and nuts. It’s definitely a change for the better.
Of course, I’m human and I still like to eat snacks. After all, snacks keep your metabolism going and help make sure I’m getting enough nutrients for myself and for my breastfed daughter. So, I’ve had to go out and search for more snack options that still fit in my diet. Fortunately, I’ve found quite a few good ones.
(Please always make sure to read labels and know what your diet needs. Several of these KIND bars do contain dairy and my hubby got to eat them. And, quite a few contain nuts!).
Some of my favorite gluten-free and dairy-free snacks.
Walnuts, almonds, pecans. Roasted or salted or sometimes even flavored. Obviously, not good for those with nut allergies.
Enjoy life: mega chunk chocolate chips. They are gluten, dairy, nut and soy free and DELICIOUS!
GoGo Squeez. So many yummy flavors (apple, apple cinnamon, apple mango and I’m holding out for apple pineapple) and the girls like them, too.
Kind bars. You definitely need to read the labels. They contain oats, but are certified gluten-free. Many of them have nuts and several have dairy. All of the ones I tried were amazing (and I was quite jealous I couldn’t try the flavors with caramel, but Mr. Serious did and said yum!).
Sevierly Good Organic Chocolate Cake Mix. This cake? Heaven! I didn’t even put any icing on it. I bought an ice cream cake for B’s baptism for everybody to eat, and they all wanted to eat my gluten-free cake!
And, it was super easy because I only had to add oil, but I decided to add half coconut oil and half Beech-Nut just honeycrisp apples (sauce). I figured it would either be a disaster or delicious.
gopicnic snack/meal packs. These are super handy and come in a ton of varieties. I’ve just thrown one in our diaper bag so I have something to eat should we end up eating at a place that isn’t gluten and dairy-free. (Again, check the labels because many of the items contain other things like nuts, soy and dairy).
Do you have a favorite snack? Allergen-free or not. PS I still eat all of the candy…and all of the potato chips!

I don’t eat a lot of snacks. I guess I tend to eat more like people do on the Paleo diet. I healed so many things giving up sugar and gluten.
I’m definitely a sugar addict. It’s bad, I know! I try to eat a lot of fruits and veggies, but I haven’t cut my sugar.
My favorite snack of all time is chips & salsa. Although, peanut M&M’s are right up there.
Oh, chips and salsa are yummy, too! And, I can eat those. But, peanut m&ms are a no go right now…..I can dream, right?
The older I get, the more healthier my snackers are (adulthood tastebuds kicking in)…I like yogurt with granola and Talenti ice cream. I’ve tried the Kind brand at a Color Run last year those were pretty good!
I am so with you on the yogurt and granola…I just have a hard time finding dairy free yogurt these days!
Have not heard of this cake mix. I will have to look for it!
It seriously is delicious.
I don’t follow the gluten free diet but my son has celiac so he has to and its quite hard for him the gogo squeez however are his favorite snack
I went to a conference and it was the only thing I could eat!
I have just gotten addicted to PopChips. I’m not a big fan of the KIND Bars since I have nut allergies but I do love healthy snacks.
Oh, you are so right, PopChips are soooo good. I just have to be careful, because a lot of them have milk and I can’t do milk right now!
These look so tasty! (I eat chips + candy, too.) 🙂
I’m partial to anything sweet 🙂 Nice suggestions – we’re mostly gluten-free now that my hubs has Celiac so it’s always great to learn of new food items to try.
I absolutely LOVE Kind bars. They are so delicious! The dark chocolate sea salt is my #1 favorite.
Awesome post! I recently noticed gopicnic products at our local movie theater! I like how easy AND yummy they are!
Kind bars are SO good! Looks like a great collection.
My husband LOVES the Kind Bars. I havent’ tried them yet because he’s far too greedy with them. 😉 I’ll get my hands on one someday. 🙂
I love the kind bars! They are amazingly delicious! I will have to try the other products!
I have been trying to completely do away with sugar and reduce my carb consumption down. Although, I would have to say my favorite snack is some type of chocolate. I wish I could say it was fruit.
This is great, with so many going GF, it’s nice to have some snack ideas. I always thought one had to starve or go broke when they go gluten free, but I am learning that isn’t the case! Great share!
We’re not on a GF diet but but we love those GoGo Squeeze sauce treats!
We’re not on a GF diet, but we love GoGo Squeez. My hubby likes the Kind bars too.
I love Kind bars they come in many delicious flavors. The kids love the Gogo Squeez because it’s yummy and easy to eat on the go!
I don’t eat a lot of snacks but when I need a snack I love smart food pop corn. So bad but oh so good :/
I don’t know that I could cut out gluten or dairy, but if I had to I love that there are so many great options for foods and snacks- and that they taste great too! I’d be all over those chocolate chips!! 😀
I love KIND bars. I eat them every day.
I love kind bars, sometimes I have one in the morning when im in a rush, and my kids love go go squeez. These are all awesome options.
These all look delicious! I love the Kind bars. I haven’t seen the Enjoy life cookies. I will have to see if I can find them. Thanks!
i love the kind brand yummy
I like the Kind bars and the Walnuts because they are so healthy and delicious. When I am in a hurry, I grab a Kind bar and put some walnuts in a container and it keeps me full. I like that they are gluten free!!
