Gluten-free snacks for kids — naturally plant-based

These gluten-free vegan snacks lean on foods that never contained gluten in the first place: fruit, oats labelled gluten-free, corn, rice, beans and seeds. That makes them easy for coeliac and gluten-sensitive kids and just as good for everyone else at the table.

Common questions from parents

Are oats gluten-free?
Oats are naturally gluten-free but are often milled alongside wheat. For a coeliac child, buy oats specifically labelled gluten-free.
What gluten-free snacks travel well in a lunchbox?
Popcorn, fruit and seed mixes, rice cakes with hummus, corn tortillas and frozen yogurt bark in a cold pack all hold up until lunchtime.
Can a child be gluten-free and vegan at the same time?
Yes. Base meals on rice, potatoes, corn, quinoa, buckwheat, beans and lentils, use fortified plant milk, and give a B12 supplement. Check in with a dietitian if growth or appetite changes.
