It’s Friday again, which can only mean two things: the weekend is here, and there’s another gluten free round-up on Simply Southern Mom. If you’re new here, let me tell you about Gluten Free Friday. Every Friday, we share the latest and greatest in gluten free and Allergen Friendly snacks. We partner with brands to receive samples to try out, but we never share anything that we don’t actually eat. I have celiac, my mom (the original Simply Southern Mom) has IBS, and my daughter has FPIES. Between the three of us, we know a little bit about restricted diets— and what tastes good! What are we trying this week?
1. World Peas Fava Crisps a newer brand to me, but not something I was totally unfamiliar with. We had tried some of their products in a Love With Food box earlier this year! When I first got to the sample of World Peas Fava Crisps in the barbecue flavor, I noticed that the bag was half-empty. “Are they good?” I asked. “I like them. They taste like my favorite road trip snack,” my mom replied. These were a hit with the whole family! In fact, my little brother, who has no food allergies, took these back to college with him to eat as snacks. I’m missing out!
Good For: road trips, snacking, lunchboxes, picnics
2. Cheribundi Cheribuddy was a hit around our house when we tried their tart cherry juice a few months back. Since my daughter also has a restricted diet, they were kind enough to send us some of their Cheribuddy juice boxes! These juice boxes are aimed at kids (or kids at heart) and come in several yummy flavors, like cherry lemonade! You have to shake these well to make sure the cherry juice is blended with the other flavors, but once it’s shaken, it’s a huge hit with kids and adults alike. My daughter loves these! Seriously, this is a kid who previously wasn’t a juice box fan. Now she grabs herself one whenever we open the fridge.
Good For: kids, school lunches, summer camp lunches, staying hydrated all summer.
3. Canyon BakeHouse is another brand that I’m familiar with. This time, they sent some of their hamburger and hot dog buns! I don’t really eat hot dogs since they make me queasy, so my family of gluten-eaters polished off the hot dog buns without complaint! The hamburger buns were mine, all mine, though. I like to pop them in the microwave for about 60 seconds to get them steamy and soft. They’re great for burgers, chicken salad, or even a plain ham sandwiches! Canyon Bakehouse also sent their brownie bites, which I am obsessed with. Brownies are my favorite dessert, and these do not disappoint.
Good For: cookouts, lunches, meals for kids, picky eaters, parties
4. Adagio Teas were actually introduced to me by a friend several years ago. Since then, I’ve been a frequent customer! Although I usually purchase the Blood Orange Iced Tea, this time we also purchased a Darjeeling for my brother and a fun Piña Colada flavor. I drink a lot of tea, so high quality tea is important to me. Not only that, but Adagio adheres to better-than-fair-trade standards through their Roots program. I’ve talked about how important fair wages and such are to me, so I like to hear that companies are doing their part! Their website is also easy to navigate and I’m able to complete my frequent order process quickly and without difficulty! They offer free shipping on orders of $49 and over, plus there is no sales tax required in my state of Georgia!
Good For: staying hydrated, coffee replacement, tea aficionados, families
5. La Croix Water is a brand that you might have seen a lot of on our Instagram account. I buy LaCroix pretty much in bulk because I drink so much of it! When I had HG, my only safe drink was plain Soda. Since that’s not the healthiest drink, I knew I needed to get a little more hydration with a little less sugar postpartum. When I found LaCroix, I was hooked. The sparkling water gives me my fizzy drink Fix without the massive amounts of sugar I don’t need, and it comes in fun flavors like cherry limeade, cran-raspberry, passionfruit, and grapefruit. Even my toddler likes LaCroix! We used a can of the passionfruit flavor to make Sangria.
Good For: parties, Soda replacement, staying hydrated, kids, cookouts, mixed drinks
Well, that’s all the brands we have for you today! Don’t worry though, because we’ll be back next Friday with even more cool brands for you to check out. Have you ever heard of any of the brands mentioned today? Which one is your favorite?

I’m loved that you have shared gluten-free recipes and products. I haven’t heard of most of these! Great options!
We love the Fava chips and La Croix in our house! We aren’t gluten free, but we do enjoy several of the drinks and snacks!
I’ve been trying to eat healthier and I think I want to try those crisps. I’m not gluten free but those actually sounds tasty.
I have found many great gluten free foods. Used to be many of them weren’t so tasty, but they’ve come a long way. Thanks for sharing additional choices to check out.
I should really purchase some of the La Croix water. It looks tasty and I could use it to cut down on my soda intake.
I’m usually pretty familiar with gluten-free brands. However, I haven’t heard of most of these! Great options!
Thanks so much for this, my daughter is gluten free. We are always looking for other options.
You had me at brownie bites 😉 There are so many options now out there without gluten, glad you continue to share options for those who aren’t quite sure what they have for getting gluten out of their diet. Love this list, happy Monday!
These are all awesome gluten free items. I would love to get the hot dog and hamburger buns for my son for the summer months when we cook out a lot. World Peas Fava Crisps I would love to try along with my family too. Thanks for sharing these awesome items.
Oh i love your gluten free! I’ve been always looking for this recipe. Thank you!
I love your gluten free round up! Being gluten free myself, I am always looking for new gluten free items. I have actually tried most of these!
I’m glad that you always share gluten-free recipes and products. I love the Adagio Tea.
Love the idea of using LaCroix passion fruit flavor for sangria. What a great idea to make a non-alcoholic mock-gria as well. Thanks for sharing
I LOVE Adagio Teas and didn’t know that they were gluten free. These are a great selection of products.
I try to maintain a GF diet so this is right up my alley. La Croix I drink all day everyday but the other brands I am not familiar with. I’ll check them out, thanks!
I really need to go gluten free, it will mean I can lose some more weight. Considering. Great post to read and I hope I will get my child to be gluten free as well. 🙂
