Salty Snacks & Chips🧂
Light, crispy, and classic — they taste like the good kind of movie theater nacho chip. Great with salsa, hummus, or crushed into taco salads. They’re the chips you bring to a BBQ so everyone (GF or not) eats them.
Late July Sea Salt Tortilla Chips🌊
These are a little puffier and earthier than your standard chip — kind of like a rice cake grew up and got a salty edge. Try them with baba ganoush or tzatziki. The texture is so good it lowkey surprises you every time.
Lundberg Rice Chips🍚
Kettle corn vibes but airier. They melt in your mouth and somehow feel both light and snacky and totally satisfying. These hit hard during road trips or when you need a desk snack that won’t get your fingers greasy.
Popcorners (Sweet & Salty)🥠
If you miss Doritos but want something way cleaner, these are it. The Lime flavor tastes zesty and bright, while Fuego has a spicy kick that’s perfect with guac or straight from the bag during a late-night binge. Plus, cassava flour = no bloat.
Siete Grain-Free Tortilla Chips (Lime or Fuego)🔥
Cookies & Sweets🍪
Soft, chewy, and nostalgic like those cafeteria cookies from middle school, but made for grownups with food sensitivities. No weird aftertaste, just sweet comfort in a cookie.
Enjoy Life Soft Baked Cookies (Chocolate Chip)🍪
Surprisingly crunchy and festive without being overly sweet. They’re gluten-free and top 9 allergen-free, but still taste like something you’d sneak into a Netflix night lineup.
Partake Crunchy Cookies (Birthday Cake)🎂
Listen, these are crisp, buttery, and the closest thing to a real homemade cookie you’ll find in a gluten-free version. People never believe they’re GF. Pop ‘em in the freezer for an elite experience.
Tate’s Bake Shop GF Chocolate Chip Cookies🍪
Perfect for tossing in your bag or keeping in your glove box for emergencies. They’re sweet, filling, and school-safe. They give energy bar energy but in a cutesy, poppable way.
MadeGood Granola Minis (Chocolate Chip)🫘
Clean ingredients but bold flavor. The salty dark chocolate is rich and grown-up; the cashew butter one tastes like a truffle disguised as a health food. Dessert you feel good about.
Hu Chocolate Bars (Salty Dark Chocolate or Cashew Butter)🧈
Bars & Energy Bites🍫
Hits that perfect salty-sweet spot, with whole nuts for crunch and a touch of indulgence. This is the “I need real food but also want chocolate” bar. Works in purses, glove boxes, or desk drawers.
Kind Bars (Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt)🥜
Just dates and cashews but somehow tastes like cookie dough? They’re soft, chewy, and satisfy your sweet tooth without being heavy. Great pre-workout or between classes.
Lärabars (Cashew Cookie)🥮
Dense and chewy, packed with egg whites and dates, and way more filling than they look. Blueberry tastes like a protein muffin without the mess. Perfect for breakfast-on-the-go.
RXBars (Blueberry)🫐
If you love fruit leather, you’ll be obsessed. Sweet and tangy, with zero added sugar. It’s basically two fruits smushed together and wrapped like a bar. Easy win for a light, healthy snack.
That’s It Bars (Apple + Mango or Apple + Strawberry)🍎🥭🍓
Breads, Crackers & Pantry🥯
Soft enough for sandwiches, sturdy enough for toast, and shockingly not crumbly. The kind of GF bread that lets you forget you’re eating GF bread. Try it with jam and butter or grilled cheese.
Schär Artisan White Bread🍞
Toasts like a dream and has an earthy, whole-grain feel without being heavy. If you miss multigrain vibes, this one brings them back without sacrificing fluffiness.
Canyon Bakehouse Ancient Grain Bread🥖
Fluffy, nutty, and actually tastes like homemade pancakes — especially if you add a splash of vanilla or mashed banana. Saturday brunch isn’t canceled anymore.
Simple Mills Pancake & Waffle Mix🥞🧇
High protein and doesn’t get mushy if you cook it right (just don’t overdo it). It holds sauce beautifully and feels heartier than rice-based pastas. Plus, it’s kind of a secret protein bomb.
Banza Chickpea Pasta (Rotini)🍝
The texture is so close to wheat pasta it’s spooky. It cooks like the real deal, doesn’t fall apart, and pairs beautifully with marinara, pesto, or carbonara. Even non-GF people won’t complain.
Jovial Gluten-Free Pasta (Brown Rice Penne)🍘
Super crunchy and full of seeds — think bird food but make it gourmet. They’re oddly addictive with hummus or goat cheese and make you feel very “healthy and mysterious.”
Mary’s Gone Crackers (Original)🫓
Bonus Extras🧃
Creamy, comforting, and perfect for childhood nostalgia nights. Add peas and shredded chicken or eat it straight out of the pot — no judgment.
Annie’s Gluten-Free Mac & Cheese🧀
Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside. Throw them in the toaster, add almond butter or syrup, and you’re 5 minutes away from a cute weekday breakfast.
Van’s Gluten-Free Waffles (Original or Blueberry)🧇
The crunch is unreal — honestly better than regular pretzels. Great for salty cravings, snack boards, or dipping in Nutella (yes, I said it).
Snyder’s GF Pretzels🥨
Cheesy, puffed, and surprisingly satisfying. Like Cheetos went to Whole Foods and got a glow-up. Great for snacking without feeling gross after.
Hippeas Chickpea Puffs (White Cheddar)💨
