75+ of the Best Gluten-Free Snacks

If you’re following a gluten-free diet, chances are you often feel stuck for gluten-free snack ideas. In this post, I’ll share 75+ gluten-free snack ideas to help you calm those cravings when a snack attack hits you. This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosures.

Grocery stores are exploding with tasty gluten-free snacks ready to tempt the millions of people living with celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

Gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and sometimes oats, can cause intestinal damage and widespread inflammation for those who must follow the diet for medically-necessary reasons.

Below, I share 75+ of the best gluten-free snacks. I only included brands that are labeled gluten free or are certified gluten free by a third party.

Before I share my list of gluten-free snack brands with you, I also want to remind you of a few things:

(1) Gluten Free Doesn’t Mean It’s Healthy: Just because a product is gluten free doesn’t mean it’s healthy. In fact, many gluten-free foods contain fewer nutrients and more fat and calories. Read 5 Dangers Associated with the Gluten-Free Diet to learn more.

(2) Read Labels Carefully: Some brands offer both gluten and gluten-free options. Look for clearly labeled gluten-free products, or even better, look for products that are certified gluten free by a third-party certifying agency like the GFCO. The information on a product’s label is always the most accurate information available. To help you read labels more quickly, download the free Fig app on your phone and read my article on gluten-free labeling laws and seek to understand why the FDA set the gluten-free threshold at 20 parts per million.

(3) Focus on Naturally Gluten-Free Foods: When possible, eat snacks that are naturally gluten free and don’t come with a label. These will be the safest and often the most healthy gluten-free snacks around. Some whole, fresh and healthy gluten-free snack options include:

• Ants on a log (celery with peanut butter and raisins)
• Apple slices with peanut butter
• Avocados with lime and a sprinkle of sea salt
• Banana slices with peanut butter
• Berries, fresh
• Carrot sticks
• Cucumbers, sliced
• Eggs, hard-boiled
• Energy bars, homemade
• Grapes
• Kale chips, homemade
• Kombucha (I like Health-Ade, Humm, and Brew Dr., or make your own kombucha at home)
• Melons, sliced
• Nuts (avoid bulk bins; read labels carefully; many Nuts.com nuts are certified gluten free; read my full report on which nuts are gluten free)
• Rice cakes with peanut butter
• Smoothies
• String cheese

(4) Watch Your Budget: Gluten-free snacks are expensive, and you often get fewer products for more money. Naturally gluten-free foods will always be cheaper. Also, shop for gluten-free snacks at Costco, Walmart, Trader Joe’s or Aldis to save a little money.
