GLUTEN-FREE SNACKS!!!

I’m not gonna lie, I am so thankful for these gluten-free snacks. When I found out my daughter and I needed to be gluten-free, I was super bummed. No more maple bars? Are you kidding me?  I needed some GOOD gluten-free snacks.

Luckily, I was wanting to make some changes anyway and empty carbs and white flour were not in the plan.
Tweaking my diet and finding things I enjoyed still is really important to me.

I just got off the phone with a client who recently found out she had to cut out gluten and was a bit overwhelmed. I remember all too well that same feeling. Almost like a fish out of water or like you’ve gotten the rug pulled out from under you. My main concern was how I could eat at a restaurant or a friends house.

I’ve learned how to plan and eat prior to going places, just in case there were no options for me. Having back up protein bars or my smoothie with me, helps a ton too.  This is my secret stash of goodies I enjoy even more than the gluten filled alternatives.  I have really come to love the pizza.  I can’t have any giant Papa Murphy’s family sized vegetable pizzas anymore, which has helped with my waist line!

Another thing my friend just brought to my attention…you can get these at Target, stock up and store in the freezer AND I use my Red card for the added 5% discount.  Udi’s, Rudi’s and Amy’s for the win!  All awesome gluten-free snack approved!

What are your fave gluten free treats?   Did you freak out when you found out you couldn’t have it? What’s the one thing you miss the most?   Mine is maple bars obviously ? please share this if you know someone who needs some comfort food that won’t tear up their stomach.
