Hello friends!
I write this from Liverpool having just come back from a quick weekend in Dublin. I’ve got one day to get my bearings before I head to Arizona to spend Thanksgiving with my family.
That being said, I’m trying to be on my best behavior by not checking into vacation mode too soon and not eat all the airport junk (the really addicting and delicious airport junk) that tempts me at every terminal. As much as I love pop tarts and cheez-itz, I genuinely feel better giving the junk food a miss.
Here’s a list of 10 healthier travel friendly snacks that are easy to pack on the road, get you through the TSA, and take with you anywhere. All of these snacks are gluten free with many vegan, nut free, and Paleo options available.
Enjoy!

So many great ideas. I’m definitely saving this one. I get glutened every time we travel. It’s about time that I started planning ahead a little. Thanks for sharing ?
Sarah says
When my husband and I flew to Holland this past summer we went through a smaller airport and could only find one thing that we could verify was gluten free – no cross contamination or anything. After that I realized that we’d just have to figure it out ourselves. So frustrating!
