Gluten Free Staples You HAVE to Try, By: Kayla Kosubinsky

Gluten-free has become one of the most buzzed about diets talked about today. As I have recently become gluten intolerant, it has not been easy to transition my diet to all gluten free options. Although being gluten-free can be a healthier and a more satisfying option, it still takes a lot of planning and consistancy to successfully eat gluten-free. Luckily, since eating gluten-free has become more of the norm in the last few years, there are plenty of options for a healthy and delicious gluten-free meal. Below are some of my favorite snacks and foods I have found on my new journey, and I'm hoping this can help someone else who may be just starting theirs.

1.  BARILLA GLUTEN-FREE SPAGHETTI

I've tried many brands of gluten-free pasta but nothing can beat Barilla. This seems to be the only brand that I can't taste whether I'm eating gluten or not. They also have a variety of pastas that you can choose from.

2.  MISSION GLUTEN-FREE SPINACH HERB WRAPS

    

Another one of my go to's has been these Mission Gluten Free Spinach Wraps. One trick I've learned is to fry them on a pan to get the same texture you would with a non gluten-free wrap. I tend to make wraps, paninis, and even sometimes quesadillas. These are delicious!

3.  FRUITS & VEGGIES

When becoming gluten-free, it is easy to focus on what replacements you have to make for your carbs, but you can't forget about your fruits and veggies! Eating clean and having a daily intake of fruits and veggies will help strengthen your body and keep you healthy. This will also help your weight control when switching diets.

4. GLUTEN-FREE OREOS

One of my all time favorite snacks, OREOS!!!! January 2021 Oreo released new gluten free Oreos that I was so excited to try. They taste the same as regular Oreos and this addictive snack will be stocked in my pantry!

5. TRADER JOES GLUTEN-FREE PUMPKIN PANCAKE MIX

It doesn't have to be October to enjoy these amazing pumpkin pancakes. This is my go to weekend breakfast that I never want to run out of. This is a good way to switch up a normal breakfast routine.
