It\u2019s just a few weeks before our kids will need their nutritious lunches packed every morning. This can be a real challenge as a parent. The challenge is much greater for those who have children with food allergies. Thankfully, many new products are available to make lunchtime easier for these children. For kids with gluten<\/a> <\/strong>allergies or Celiac disease, their choices for fun lunchtime snacks<\/a><\/strong> were typically very limited. Today, there are several great products available. Not only are they gluten free and nutritious, but they are fun. No longer do our little ones with allergies have to be left out, eating their plain snacks.<\/p>\n

These are just a few of the great tasting, gluten free<\/a><\/strong>, lunch box snacks to put on your school supply list.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Annie\u2019s Organic Fruit Snacks<\/a><\/strong>
\nComing in four fun flavors, Annie\u2019s snacks are not only gluten free but they are certified organic, free of artificial coloring, made with real fruit juice, contain 100% of your child’s daily value for vitamin C, are vegan<\/a><\/strong> and are gelatin free. There are very few fun fruit snacks on the market who can make these claims.<\/p>\n

2. EnviroKidz Organic Crispy Rice Bars<\/a><\/strong>
\nThese delicious snack bars come in five different flavors ranging from peanut butter to chocolate. The main ingredient is organic gluten free rice.

3. Blue Diamond Nut Thins Crackers<\/a><\/strong>
\nWith most crackers being wheat based, finding a gluten free brand is tough. Nut Thins are a great answer to that problem. They come in eight different flavors and are completely gluten free, and because of their nut based \"\"<\/a>ingredients, they also provide protein.<\/p>\n

4. Larabar<\/a><\/strong>

5. Snikiddy Fries and Puffs<\/a><\/strong>
\nThese corn based snacks come in two types. The baked fries come in six different fun flavors, ranging from \u201cSea Salt\u201d to \u201cClassic Ketchup.\u201d \u00a0The Cheese Puffs come in two kid friendly flavors, \u201cMac & Cheese\u201d and \u201cGrilled Cheese.\u201d These crunchy snacks are made with no preservatives, no corn syrup, they are peanut and nut free, vegan, and, of course, gluten free.<\/p>\n
