6 Gluten-Free Snacks for Healthy Eating

Most people associate a gluten-free diet with cliac disease. However, you can have gastrointestinal disturbance after eating food containing gluten, even without having a wheat allergy. Or, you might simply want to prioritize healthier eating (with fruits, vegetables, nuts and more) by cutting gluten out of your diet. Really, the possibilities are endless.

Regardless of why you choose to opt for gluten-free eating, there are many options available to experience a delicious and fulfilled diet. Below, discover our favorite snacks without gluten to add to your pantry.

Snack Factory Gluten Free Pretzel Crisps: $2.98

One of the most irresistible snacks is pretzels. They're so salty and crunchy—it's almost impossible to stop once you start. Unfortunately, they are classically gluten-heavy. But the good news is you can still enjoy them, thanks to Snack Factory's gluten-free version of their Pretzel Crisps. It's all the same flavor, without the undesirable junk.

 

Van's Gluten Free Totally Original Waffles: $3.65

Waffles are one of the foods we never thought about having gluten, but it makes sense when we think about it. It's a breakfast item we'd never want to give up, and no one will have to with Van's Gluten-Free Original Waffles. They're also dairy and egg-free, too!

Gluten Free Oreos: $4.99

Again, who knew Oreos had gluten? We thought they would be all-around healthy since they're known to be vegan, but just because they're free of milk, eggs, and other animal-derived ingredients doesn't mean that it doesn't have wheat. Luckily, the iconic brand released a gluten-free version. With nearly five stars, you know it's equally as tasty as its original recipe.

Fancypants Baking Co. Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies 3-Pack: $19.99

We recently discovered Fancypants crispy cookies, and they've quickly risen to one of our most addictive snacks yet. But now, we respect the brand even more. In addition to being women-owned and sustainable, they also have a gluten-free option. They're crunchy and delightful, so as the product description suggests, "You might want to go ahead and hide them now."

 

Karma Nuts Toasted Coconut Roasted Cashews 12-Pack: $24.99

Inherently, cashews do not contain gluten. That said, brands will often use flavor-enhancing ingredients that contain wheat and other forms of gluten. You don't have to worry about that with Karma Nuts, though. These cashews are packed with flavor and protein, all without the use of GMOs, gluten and more. As the motto states, "Do Good. Eat Good. Feel Good."

 

Free AF Non-Alcoholic Whiskey Ginger 12-Pack: $39

Even drinks can contain gluten! But you'll never have to worry about that when you drink Free AF. Each can contains all-natural ingredients, little to no sugar or calories and zero gluten. One of their most mouth-watering flavors for summer is their Whiskey Ginger. No, it doesn't contain alcohol— just a spicy, refreshing flavor.
