Gluten Free Snacking Made Delicious

These are not a new snack for me, but I just absolutely love these snack bars from Glutino. They come in 3 flavors: chocolate and peanuts, chocolate and banana, and wildberry. The wildberry are my favorite. Each bar is roughly only 100 calories, and is the perfect quick pick-me-upper. You can get 5 bars for roughly $5.00

A new discovery at Whole Foods, these chips are super thin and crunchy. They're full of flavor without being overpowering, and have a lower calorie count than most similar chips on the market. Also, I didn't find them to be greasy like Kettle chips can become. They weren't super pricey at $2 a bag, and they also come in BBQ flavor.

Ahh the animal cracker. I used to love eating those cute little animal shaped cookies, and now I've found a safe and tasty gluten free alternative. Similar in taste to a vanilla wafer these cookies are square with an animal imprint. Quite yummy, and did I luck out or what at $1.79 box!And when you're done snacking and need a refreshing dessert, you've got to try some Bubbies: mochi ice cream from Hawaii. Also purchased at Whole Foods; they carried 3 flavor options, and decided on the Mango. Absolutely delicious. I'd take 1 or 2 Mochi balls over some Ben and Jerry's any day.

I love animal crackers. Little tiny bites of animals you would never sink your teeth into in real life. I like being able to eat a lion or an elephant. I don't think it would be cool eating a cat or dog though. I don't know why I think that is not exceptable except that it's just icky to think of it that way. They are animals too. However....I used to dole out animal crackers to Mike when he was little for a job well done. You should try it again Deb! and see what happens. Oh and don't forget...ONE for EACH hand.
