Why Allergy-Friendly Snacks Matter (and Why Absurd Snacks Different)

Going to the grocery store or a restaurant with allergies can be incredibly frustrating and defeating. A couple of years ago I was on a strict diet where I couldn’t eat gluten, soy, dairy, refined sugar, peanuts, and more. Every time I went to the grocery store, I would spend hours in the aisles reading the ingredients over and over again. I always had the same problem, whenever I found a snack that would work for me, it was filled with processed and unhealthy ingredients. Not fueling my body properly left me feeling tired and sluggish. I was constantly on edge because I wasn’t getting proper nutrition. I always had to be prepared with snacks no matter where I went. It wasn’t like my friends who could just stop at a fast-food restaurant if they got hungry. All of this left me incredibly defeated. If you don’t have allergies, you may not realize the severity of how important having allergy-friendly snacks are. 

Allergy snacks aren't just about convenience, it's about feeling represented in a community where you can feel so isolated. It’s also about feeling safe about the food you are putting in your mouth. For example, people often wrongly assume gluten-free is healthier, but the truth is sometimes gluten-free food is full of more preservatives than normal gluten snacks. So, trying to find healthier gluten free snacks that aren't just fruits or vegetables can be challenging. That is why I love Absurd Snacks. First off it is free of the top 9 allergens. No more hunting around the aisles trying to find a snack that is safe for all your allergies. Absurd Snacks also produces all their snacks in a facility that is free of those allergens. Some snacks have no peanuts or tree nuts in their ingredients but end up being produced in a facility with nuts, so they are still not safe. Absurd Snacks are also high in protein and fiber. They have 75% more protein and 64% less sugar than a typical snack mix. The ingredients are real and non-processed. No longer do you have to give up health for your allergies, Absurd Snacks lets you have both.
