One of the challenges of traveling on a gluten-free diet is having access to foods that you know are gluten-free. On your first few trips, this will require some planning and probably a little research, but hopefully, this post will help give you some ideas to get started.

Snacks you can keep in the vehicle for eating on the go:
- Almonds or mixed nuts
- Gluten-free cookies
- Dried fruits (raisins, etc.)
- Lara Bars, EnviroKidz Organic Crispy Rice Bars, or another gluten-free energy bar
- Gluten-free crackers
Snacks to keep in your desk drawer (or children could keep in a school locker):
