10 Easy and Delicious Allergy-Friendly Snack Ideas

Are you looking for easy allergy-friendly snack ideas to take to school or have at a birthday party? As one of the unfortunate members of the kids-with-allergies club, we understand how important it is to keep other kids safe while attending play dates or school. When my older daughter started preschool, it wasn’t just her allergies I had to be on the lookout for anymore, but also her classmate with nut allergies. That severely limited our already limited options of prepackaged snacks to send in for the class.

So, to save others the trouble and stress of figuring out what the heck is safe, I have compiled a list of some of our favorite snack ideas that are soy, dairy, gluten, fish/shellfish, peanut/nut and egg free. If you want a worry-free snack that everyone can enjoy, here are some fun and delicious ideas that kids will love to eat!
