The Best One Handed Gluten Free Snacks

We've rounded up the best store bought, pre-packaged gluten free snacks in Australia that you can eat one handed and on the go! Perfect for anyone with a busy schedule - as well as a few extras especially recommended for breastfeeding mamas and new Mums.

I don't know about you, but I am definitely a snacker - especially while pregnant. Whilst huge meals aren't my thing, snacks definitely are and I love having healthy and convenient options in our pantry for when hunger strikes.

With a baby due in just a few weeks, I've been stocking up on my favourite one handed snacks so I always have something to eat - whether I'm snuggling a sleeping baby, up in the middle of the night feeding him or just wanting a snack.

As a coeliac, it's often hard to find good gluten free snack options - but I've rounded up my favourite One Handed Gluten Free Snacks that are perfect for stashing in your purse, glove box, nappy bag, pram or pantry. 

So let me share them with you! >> 

Recipe: Collagen Cookie Dough Protein Balls (gluten free!)

Getting in extra protein has never been so delicious! These Collagen Cookie Dough Protein Balls are gluten free, no bake, refined sugar free, clean eating friendly and seriously delicious! The perfect healthy snack or dessert.

With only a week until our babe arrives, I have been prepping all the meals and snacks so that when we get home from the hospital, we have plenty of food ready to eat. 

One of those things I've been prepping has been protein balls. 

Call them bliss balls or protein balls or whatever you fancy, they're one of my go-to snacks because they're quick, easy and you can pack them full of nutrients.

When Naked Nutrition sent me their Collagen Peptides Protein Powder, I knew exactly what I needed to make.

These Collagen Cookie Dough Protein Balls are so easy to make, seriously delicious to eat and each little bite has 4 grams of protein to power you through your day. 

Better still? You can totally make them your own. 

Swap the cashews for almonds or peanuts. Swap the flaxseed for chia seed or hemp seeds. Swap chocolate chips for cacao nibs or bits of your favourite candy bar - there's so much you can do with them!

Recipe: Gluten Free Gingerbread Blondies

Blondies get a Christmas makeover with this Easy Gluten Free Gingerbread Blondies Recipe. With all of the flavours of gingerbread in a chewy white chocolate chip studded blondie, these are sure to be a holiday hit!

Is anyone else finding themselves slowly transforming their house into Christmas mode?

Whilst usually I'd get everything done in the one weekend, we're still working on some home to-dos before baby arrives - and at 9 months pregnant, I totally don't have the energy to decorate our house all in one go - so Christmas is slowly starting to appear.

One tree is up, another two are going up today, the lounge room is decorated and our kitchen has a sprinkling of Christmas magic too.... but most importantly, Christmas scents have been filling our house with treats baking away in the oven.

With a newborn arriving in just two weeks, I don't know how much time (or energy) i'll have for Christmas baking, so I've been baking and enjoying Christmas treats while I still can!

These Gingerbread Blondies are a new favourite we've been enjoying with a cup of coffee. They have just the right amount of sweetness, are full of Christmas flavour and are dense and fudgy like any good blondie should be.

Better still? You can totally make the recipe your own. Throw in nuts or stir through chocolate chips (just don't make the mistake I did with the last batch and stir them through when the mix is too hot - notes below!) or frost them with your favourite frosting and Christmas sprinkles.
