The range of gluten free products popping up in the marketplace is exciting but I have been finding that price, taste and low fiber in these food lines are sometimes problematic. Which is why it’s refreshing to find Van’s Natural Foods, a brand that’s taken all three areas into consideration with its entire line of scrumptious gluten free goods.
First, and probably most important, Van’s products taste fresh, wholesome and quite delicious. The Cranberry Almond Bar is moist, rich and full of flavor. The Say Cheese! Snack Pack Crackers (my favorite) are crisp, hearty and satisfying. The Cinnamon Heaven Cereal is crunchy, sweet and filling. All-in-all, it’s hard to believe they are gluten free!
Ingredient-wise, Van’s gluten free products have no artificial flavors or sweeteners, no high fructose corn syrup, no hydrogenated oils or GMO oils, and no artificial preservatives. Van’s snack bars boast 4 grams of fiber per serving and the cereals have 5 grams of fiber per serving. For gluten free snacks, that’s quite an accomplishment (as gluten free snacks are notoriously low in fiber with many bars containing less than 1 gram of fiber.)
Price-wise, Van’s Natural Foods really take the gluten free cake. The Cinnamon Heaven Cereal has an MSRP of $3.99, the Cranberry Almond Snack Bars have an MSRP of $4.49 and their cracker packages all have MSRP under $3.99. Highly reasonable for quality, natural gluten free snacking.
The Van’s Natural Food gluten free product line also includes:
- Van’s Chocolate Chip Snack Bars
- Van’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Snack Bars
- Van’s Fire-Roasted Veggie Crackers
- Van’s Lots of Everything! Crackers
- and Van’s The Perfect 10 Crackers
Van’s touts itself as “the next evolution in Gluten Free” and we have to agree. Their forward thinking on ingredients, taste, price and nutrients like fiber is certainly a refreshing addition to gluten free snacking!
