1.Jam
Jam is gluten free and fun to eat with peanut butter or on toast. It makes a great snack, too. Just make sure to watch the sugar content and don't eat it without at least a healthy fat such as peanut butter. We didn't have to tell you that because those two go together like a horse and carriage.
2.Peanut Butter
Peanut butter provides a great source of protein and has no gluten. One tablespoon is just 8 grams of fat. Have it on a banana, dip apples in it, and use it to stir fry meat. It's a versatile food that you can be creative with, and keep gluten out of your diet.
3.Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is another great form of protein and calcium for the body. It is also gluten free. Have it in the morning with blueberries, raspberries or just about any berry or fruit you can find. Have it for lunch with some veggies, or use it as a dip for crudites.
4.Dark Chocolate
Even though dark chocolate is considered candy, it has many health benefits. Filled with antioxidants, the darker the better. There are some brands that make up to 85% dark chocolate that are delicious and healthy when eaten in moderation. Dark chocolate has no gluten and has less sugar than milk chocolate.
5.Nuts
Nuts provide protein and healthy fats to the body and are gluten free. Almonds, walnuts, cashews, macadamia nuts and more, are great for getting some fiber too. The body needs adequate amounts of protein for your muscles and fiber cleanses your intestinal tract. Add nuts to yogurt, salads, and stir fries.
6.Rice
Even though rice is a carb it contains no gluten. Choose rice over pasta or bread to stay gluten free. Parboiled rice is the best for maintaining steady blood sugar levels and it's great as a side dish or under stews. Sushi is another great way to get some protein in your diet as well.
7.Legumes
All legumes are a tremendous way to keep gluten from your diet and to add protein and fiber every day. Black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, navy beans, lentils and more are all great for a side dish or even in a main meal, such as chili or pasta fajoli.

9.Yogurt
Yogurt is a versatile food that contains no gluten, but has loads of protein and active cultures that is great for your intestines. Yogurt for breakfast is a great choice for starting the day off right.
