Jump to:
There's something for everyone on this list from kids to adults including healthy dairy-free snack ideas, homemade treats, and some better-for-you store bought options.
It's always helpful to have snacks on hand you know you can safely eat when it comes to road trips, traveling, running errands, or simply just snacking between meals.
Important to note: When buying store-bought snacks, make sure to always read the ingredient labels, even if they "look" safe. Sometimes companies sneakily add in milk powder or whey protein, and it's always better to be safe than sorry. Especially with a food allergy.
