WHY WE NEED SAFE SNACK OPTIONS:

My son has a wheat and dairy food allergy, and I have friends with Celiac disease so I personally know the pain of having to turn over every product in the store desperately looking for allergy free options to feed him. Most snacks are filled with dairy products and laden with gluten. I hope that whether you have a gluten-free diet, gluten-free dairy-free diet, or some other food restriction that this list will help you find options you can enjoy–whether that be for a school snack, after-school snacks, late night snacks or whatever time of day the munchies hit ya. I don’t want you or your loved ones getting hangry because they can’t find a safe snack. I have everything from energy bars, crunchy snacks like popcorn, pretzels, and chips, to jerky, fruit, and more. This long list of great ideas should give you something even for the picky eaters. There’s a nice range between guilty pleasure foods (I’m looking at you, Lays!) and healthy snack ideas. Be sure to share these free snack ideas with your allergy friends!

How to Shop for Dairy Free Gluten Free Snacks

IMPORTANT INFO BEFORE LOOKING AT THE GLUTEN FREE DAIRY FREE SNACK IDEAS:

• PLEASE be sure to read the actual package in the store before you buy it, as recipes and manufacturing processes may have changed since the time of publishing and company websites aren’t always as up to date as actual labels.
• Also–there may be some suggestions I’ve either personally tried, or added because a reader submitted it that you might not agree with. And that’s OK. As people with food allergies, medical conditions, Celiac, vegan or other dietary restrictions, there is a huge spectrum of what we feel comfortable eating or giving a loved one. Some have to check manufacturing processes and some are OK with “may contain” or “certified” statements. This list is not something you have to follow, but simply a guide to help get the creative juices flowing, and to help you, not to shame you. So, please refrain from negative comments.
• I made sure to throw in some homemade gluten free dairy free snacks recipes as well, so you can have greater control over the ingredients. Sometimes it’s just nice to make your own snacks.
• If there’s a recipe that calls for a gluten-free flour blend, you can use my homemade recipe, and if not, each individual recipe page should help guide you to a store bought option as well. Be sure to read the text above the recipe card. In my recipes, I never call for almond flour or coconut flour, making all of my recipes nut free as well!
• If you’re going to be feeding any of this to an allergy kid, be sure to ALWAYS get the parents’ consent first. Just because a package may say it’s an “allergy free snack recipe” doesn’t mean it’s automatically OK. That’s great you’ve done your research, but you don’t always know what they’re comfortable with. They’ll be so appreciative you are communicative.
• I’ve tried to add links to any snack that I can, so you can personally check them out (and most importantly see the ingredient list) before shopping for them. Some I couldn’t find, but hopefully this will still be helpful. I like to know what the product looks like because it helps me find it on the shelves at my local grocery stores. (Or, you can buy them on Amazon, with my links too.)
