Gluten Free Snack Guide for Traveling

One of the challenges of traveling on a gluten free diet is having access to foods that you know are gluten free.   On your first few trips, this will require some planning and probably a little research, but hopefully this post will help give you some ideas to get started.

Below we’ve attempted to cover a variety of different types of travel, ranging from traveling to the mall to traveling overseas. 

Snacks you can keep in the vehicle for eating on the go:

• Almonds or mixed nuts
• Gluten-free cookies
• Dried fruits (raisins, etc.)
• Lara Bars, EnviroKidz Organic Crispy Rice Bars, or another gluten-free energy bar
• Gluten-free crackers

Snacks to keep in your desk drawer (or children could keep in a school locker):
