Snacks?

[ToriMartin]

What are good gluten-free, Corn Free & Milk Free Snacks? I've been doing well keeping away from all milk, corn & gluten... Eating meat, veggies & fruit. I'm even keeping away from most condiments (Corn syrup)... but here I am, wanting something to snack on... Hungry but not enough to cook... I would love some corn chips or popcorn... But it makes me bloat & I'd be 5 pounds heavier by morning! (go figure)... So, what are some good snack ideas next time I go shopping? Oh, we're in the Country & the closest town only has a safeway... That's where I mostly shop... No health food stores around here & couldn't afford them anyways...

I'll include a few options that are specialty, just in case. We don't avoid corn syrup or baking powder, otherwise kiddo is mostly corn-free. So, double check my suggestions to see if they'll work for you.

Here's his list of snacks:

jello/homemade fruit juice gelatin

there are some sorbets that are milk-free and some coconut milk icecreams too

popsicles made from fruit juice in dollar store molds

Lay Staxx

he can't have nuts, but they make good snacks

again, no nuts for him, but nut butters on celery or apples

Enjoylife gluten-free granola

baked custards-we make pumpkin or sweet potato alot in the fall/winter in individual custard cups-our recipe calls for coconut milk instead of milk, they take 5 min to mix. Bake and store in the fridge for several days worth of snacks/desserts

rice crackers

I also make a big pan of apple/fruit crisp with oats in the topping and only a little sugar on the fruit to make it healthier, then store in the fridge for several days snack/dessert/breakfast-if time is an issue, I mix the topping one day and freeze it, then when I am ready to bake just prep the fruit and pour on the topping. Use Earthbalance spread or plain shortening in the topping instead of butter.

As for me, I keep pre-cooked bacon in the fridge and snack on it.

Hormel hard salami(doesn't list any corn, but I know some ingredients can be tricky)

olives

tuna salad with celery sticks(I use olive oil, a touch of vinegar or lemon juice and other veg., herbs, or things like capers in place of mayo.)

nuts/seeds are a staple

you could probably gather together enough things for a trail mix of sorts-unsweetened coconut(if the sweetener is an issue with the corn), nuts and seeds, dried fruits

Enjoy-life makes dairy-free choco chips that taste great. You'd have to check on the corn, but their products are free of many allergens.

carrots and hummus

apples and peanut butter
