Need Classroom Special Snack Ideas

We need Allergen free idea's

specifically: Gluten free, peanut free, egg free and vegetarian prepackaged items

If there is a easy Gluten free replacement for something I will take those as well

example: Oreo's are peanut, egg and vegetarian but not gluten free, but there are Oreo-like cookies available gluten-free to sub with.

These are for special events so they do not have to be healthy, but not candy like either.

Thanks.

There is a oreo type cookie called k-toos by kinninick. I have to not only have gluten free snacks for my youngest son but they have to be peanut/nut free since there are kids in his class with nut allergies. These are a few things I put in his snack box: Craisens (in individual packages), snack size orville redenbachers microwave popcorn, fruit cups in natural syrup, applesauce cups, betty crocker fruit snacks/fruit roll ups, enjoy life chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookie packs. Enjoy life also has snack bars. Can you do the chex cereals? I found a cool idea on there for fruit sushi. Here are some likns for some ideas.

I make a batch of Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownies and allow them to cool. Cut into squares and wrap with saran wrap, then with aluminun foil and freeze in large ziploc bags. Each day, I take one out as needed. Already individually wrapped and they defrost by lunchtime....

I am looking for store bought, prepackaged items for an entire classroom.

We can't do Enjoy life, Kinnikinnick, GLutino or specialty gluten-free products ( cost for an entire classroom is pricey) but most other idea's will work, thanks.

Cheese, I was going to suggest fruit and veggie trays (but then I saw the pre-packaged comment). Pretzels? (Subbing with a gluten free pretzel). Fun yogurt cups (probably too expensive depending on class size).

Betty Crocker fruit roll ups and fruit sancks.

Pudding cups - they're gluten free, not sure on the rest

Rice crispie treats with you subbing gluten-free version

What about those little mini bananas? Clementines are in season and are fun to eat. Those kinda come in their own packaging :P I've seen pre-packaged baby carrots, grapes, and apple slices too. Do they make soy string cheese?

I know you want to keep cost down for an entire class, but what I do for my daughter and her dance parties (she is 3) Is I buy a bag of gluten free pretzel twists and rolos. I put the pretzel with a rolo on top and put in the oven for 1 min (350) press the rolo down with another pretzel and you have a quick allergy friendly snack :) My nephew is allergic to eggs and nuts so that is the snack my sil & I prefer because the enjoy life cookies ect are so expensive.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
