If you're anything like me (working full time, constantly on the run, and dealing with food allergies), it can be tough to find snacks that are both gluten free and delicious to keep you fueled throughout the day. Luckily, I have some great suggestions for you!
Lara Bars are one of my favorites, so simple, yet tasty and satisfying. Most flavors are only made with 3 to 5 ingredients, including fruit, nuts, and spices. They are all gluten free, dairy free, soy free, vegan and kosher. While that may sound like they're leaving a lot out, it's amazing how delicious just a few simple, natural ingredients can be when put together thoughtfully. These are available in bulk boxes at Costco, which brings the cost down to less than 80 cents per bar.
The WOW Baking Company has gluten free cookies nailed. This "Oregon Oatmeal" flavor is perfection, packed with cranberries, apricots, and oats, in a moist and chewy cookie.
Kind Bars are another favorite on the list of throw-in-the-purse-and-go foods. They now sell them at Starbucks, so you're sure to find them anywhere. They have bold flavors, in texturally satisfying bars. I'm a fan of the Mango Macadamia bar, and Almond Cranberry bars.
When I was a kid, cheese and crackers were a favorite comfort/snack food. Herb Chevre drizzled with a touch of great olive oil makes any afternoon more enjoyable. These Glutino crackers are awesome! They have a great buttery taste and flaky texture.
These Koyo Organic Brown Rice Chips (more like a thin cracker) are absolutely wonderful. 18 of them will only set you back 160 calories, and they are the perfect vehicle for cheeses, dips, tuna/ chicken salad... anything!
I found all of these products at PCC, which is a paradise for food allergy sufferers. They are all starting to pop up more and more in common grocery stores and I have seen many of these products in QFC, Safeway, and others.
