Being gluten-free can be really difficult, especially when it comes to snacking! Of course you can always have fruits and veggies, but sometimes you just want to be able to have something that resembles chips or dessert! Here are some great gluten free, dairy free and sugar free snack options:
1. Bare Apple Chips.
Bare sells all sorts of healthy fruit chips, but the apple ones are by far my favorite. They're organic baked apple chips, with just a touch of cinnamon. Delicious, and good for you too!
2. Dang Coconut Chips.
These are amazing - crispy and delicious. They come in a variety of flavors, but I usually buy the sugar-free ones with just a touch of sea salt. They don't taste too coconutty, so even if you don't like coconut they still might be a great snack option for you!
3. Grapes.
Grapes have been my savior during this diet. Whenever I am craving something sweet, I pop in a few organic grapes and that helps the craving subside. It's almost like eating candy! (I stress almost).
4. Chex Cereal.
I am not currently able to eat these, but when my sister was gluten free, she was always snacking on Chex cereal. They have a great new line of gluten free cereals in many different flavors (even chocolate!) and they're a great substitute for the sugary, grainy cereals that we're used to eating in the morning.
5. Paleo Coconut Wraps.
Julian Bakery makes AMAZING coconut wraps that basically taste like a normal sandwich wrap. They're made from coconut meat, coconut water and coconut oil and they're a great substitute for a sandwich wrap - they also make a great snack!
6. Jackson's Honest Sweet Potato Chips.
These chips are awesome - just coconut oil, sweet potatoes and sea salt! They're a great snack for when you're looking for a little extra crunch.
7. Veggies and Chinese Mustard.
I love spicy foods, so when I had to eliminate things like hot sauce I started freaking out - how was I going to get that spicy flavor?! Chinese Mustard was the answer. You can buy it in the International section of any supermarket and it's super spicy - it goes great with carrots and celery!
8. That's It fruit bars.
These fruit bars have two ingredients - usually apple and another fruit paired with it. They're really good, but high in natural sugar, so be careful with these!
9. Nuts and seeds!
At this point, I am still nut and seed free, but nuts are a GREAT snack! Many nuts are rich in protein, so they're especially good snacks for vegetarians.
10. Avocado.
It's like eating guacamole straight out of the shell. Avocados are a great source of healthy fats - try them on top of sweet potato toast or in a salad!
