Snacks for Gluten-Free Diets

You're on a gluten-free die, doesn't mean you're missing out on some really nice snacking. Here are some delicious do-it-yourself snacking options.

Gluten-Free Energy Balls:

Sample: Mix gluten-free oats, almond butter, honey, and dark chocolate chips. Make them into small balls and refrigerate. With these energy balls, be certain you've always got a full and on-the-go snack in store.

Gluten-free with hummus and veggie sticks:

Example: Dip a mix of vegetable sticks such as carrots, cucumbers, and peppers into gluten-free hummus. This hummus is crunching good; it's healthy and, of course, intrinsically gluten-free.

Gluten-Free Apple Wedges with Almond Butter:

Example: Slice an apple and then spread almond butter over each slice. Sprinkle cinnamon for added flavor. It is sweet, filling with good things. 

Gluten-Free Rice Cakes with Avocado :

Spread your mashed avocado on gluten-free rice cakes and sprinkle with just a little bit of sea salt and some cracked pepper. You might even want to top it off with a sliced tomato or a poached egg for extra protein right on top. Crispy, creamy, and full, it should keep you going right through until it's time to eat again.

For instance, take one glass or bowl and start with a layer of gluten-free yogurt over some fresh berries and gluten-free muesli added on top; there you are—something fruity and creamy for the afternoon snack or nice dessert.
