My kids are both on a gluten-free diet for health reasons. Raising kids gluten-free definitely has its challenges. Lets look at the snack department, for instance. Kid-friendly, gluten-free snacks that have some much needed nutritional value in them are hard to come by. We have a range of options in our rotation and I am always looking for new additions to keep the selection fresh for them. The other day we came across HIPPEAS at the store as I was looking for a small bag of our usual gluten-free cheese puffs. These puffs are larger in size than our usual pick so I figured my toddler would at least find them engaging. Much to my surprise, when I looked at the nutritional value I saw that this snack packs 4 g of protein, 3 g of fiber and only 2 g of sugar per serving! Any time we can include protein in their snacks it's a win win for me because I know I am not giving them empty calories. My kids devoured the puffs (even my picky eater) and were satisfied after their snack. I think we have a winner! We will be including them in our snack rotation from now on.
Give them a try next time you are at the store! Back soon!
