The Best Store-Bought Gluten Free Back To School Snacks

This is a list of some of the best store-bought snacks to send with your kid when they go back to school. These snacks are filling, (mostly) healthy, and easy to pack in your child’s backpack. Since I am also free of dairy, soy, eggs, and peanuts a lot of these suggestions will also fit those dietary needs.


Your kids are going to love these Gluten Free Back to School Snacks. And let’s be honest, you will too. These snacks are all perfect for your children to bring to school. They’re also great for you to bring to work. The majority of them are in small bags that are easy to fit in their backpack or lunch box. They are all gluten free and some of them are also vegan-friendly.

Be sure to check out my post from last year titled, 13 Gluten Free School Snacks (Homemade + Store-bought). That post features store-bought and homemade back to school snacks. I still enjoy and would recommend all of those snacks but have found many new favorites since then.

15 Gluten Free Back To School Snacks

Please note all of these snacks have gluten free ingredients. I am not sure if any of them are labeled with cross-contamination warnings so please do your own research if that is necessary. A lot of the snacks on my list are also dairy free, soy free, egg free, peanut free and vegan-friendly but again please check the ingredients to ensure that is the case.
