A full week of finding healthy gluten-free meals can seem overwhelming to individuals just beginning their gluten-free journey! Those who have been living with Celiac for most of their lives can benefit from finding some refreshing meal ideas to mix into their meal plan.

One gluten-free breakfast tip that can help you build a better basket is to look for whole foods first. Seeking whole foods like eggs, vegetables, and fruits for breakfast options are ideal. Some processed and fortified gluten-free breakfast items have additives and other unnecessary nutrients. Check out our Dietitian Top Picks for some of the better-for-you gluten-free options.

Gluten-free snacking can be easy and provide you with healthier options when you swap the refined crackers and chips for fruits and veggies! Pair your fresh produce with one of the many gluten-free hummus, dip, or salsa choices available at Market Street.

Lunches and dinner can be prepared ahead of time or found in the aisles of the supermarket with ease thanks to the “gluten-free” tags at Market Street. Some great gluten-free meal staples include rice, quinoa, corn, potatoes, vegetables, and lean meats or fish!

Gluten-free desserts can feel disappointing, but that is a thing of the past! There are many naturally gluten-free items that can curb that sweet tooth – like Greek yogurt, peanut butter, fruits, chocolate chips, etc.! Get creative in the kitchen, play around with different gluten-free flours, and opt for whole foods first.  If you are looking for a more structured meal plan to mix up your gluten-free menu, check out this 7-day outline of meal ideas that are Registered Dietitian-approved!
