The basics: What is gluten?

Gluten is a family of proteins found in wheat, barley, rye and spelt. It’s what gives flour a sticky consistency when mixed with water. This glue-like property helps gluten create a sticky network that gives bread the ability to rise when baked. It also gives bread a chewy and satisfying texture.

Popular Gluten-Free Snack Ideas

I’ve learned that having nourishing eats on hand and at the ready helps me stay energized and focused throughout the day. Here are some of my favorite staples that I keep on hand:

• trail mix
• pre-cut carrot and celery sticks
• frozen bananas for smoothies
• gluten-free cereal
• snacking cheese
• pickles and olives
• hard boiled eggs

Bonus: You’ll also find gluten-free dinner recipes and gluten-free breakfast recipes to complete your meal planning for the week!
