Gf Breakfasts And Snacks

[Karen(England)]

We are coming to Florida this Friday from England so have little experience of what to buy that is safe.

What gluten-free breakfast cereals are available in Walmart or Publix?

What gluten-free snacks can you buy in Walmart or Publix?

What would you recommend for picnics.

Thank you so much, in advance.

Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles are mainstream brands that you can find at Walmart and are gluten free.

Betty Crocker fruit roll ups are gluten free and found there as well.

Alot of candy is gluten free as well.

If you would like I can give you a list of brands that won't hide anything and another big list that might help as well. Just email me so I can email them back to you..my email is in my signature.

We're coming to the U.S. on Friday.

Which cereals are gluten-free?

What snacks do you buy?

What ham can we have?

What's good to take on a picnic?

You asked these questions previously and I though I might be able to help out with a few. Although I haven't been to Florida since going gluten-free, and I don't have any of those stores near me except for Walmart...

If you can find a Whole Foods or Wild Oats type of health food store you will have more options for gluten-free cereals, crackers, cookies, and other snacks. At these stores most of the gluten free cereals and other products will even say "Gluten Free" on the labels and the ingredients are very easy to read. Both of these two store have gluten free lists available for their products also.

For snacks, Lays and Fritos chips and other snack foods. Many are gluten free. You can print out a gluten free list from their website. Open Original Shared Link

For picnics you could do cheese and meat rolled up in lettuce or Mission brand corn tortillas. We use Carl Buddig brand Premuim Deli Turkey and Ham. My kids like it and it is gluten-free. I like it because it isn't the cheap pressed meat that is mostly fillers. We usually take chips or gluten-free pretzels (from the specialty stores). French's Mustard, Hellmann's Mayonaise and Heinz ketchup are all gluten free. Fresh fruit and veggies are good choices. Wishbone Ranch dressing is gluten-free and good for dipping the veggies in. If you have small children who like juice, the Capri Sun juice pouches are gluten-free, and come in the flavored sugar water (5% juice!) and also the 100% juice version. My kids also like the Sunny D individual jugs of juice. Do not get the Tropicana Twisters. The company says they are not gluten-free, even though I can't see anything on the label that would be questionable except for maybe the natural flavoring (maybe barley malt??).

What part of Florida are you staying in? Maybe we can find a list of stores for that area where you could find more gluten-free food.

God bless,
