We Finally Found Gluten-Free Snacks That Don't Suck

There are few things in this world more universal than snacking. Everybody does it, whether you are in the middle of a stressful work day and replace lunch with a handful of chips or always have a mini bag of cookies on hand, just in case of, oh I don't know, an emergency? A snack emergency.
But for those who have celiac disease or gluten intolerance, finding good snacks without gluten can be a bit more of a challenge. And what most people keep on hand are likely things that you can't eat or you have to read the ingredients line by line to make sure you can eat it.
Luckily, there's a whole world of science—and some very dedicated food brands—out there and now finding delicious gluten-free snacks isn't so hard. We scoured the web and tapped into our own staff's recs to come up with list of the best snacks out there that also happen to not have gluten. That way, you can be sure to snack safely and only snack on the absolute tastiest of options.
So, whether you're fully gluten-free or trying to cut back, there are so many gluten-free alternatives these days: cookies, pretzels, and chips included, of course. Happy snacking!
