Tasty Back-to-School Snack Idea with Gluten Free Mightylicious Products and Cookies

With more than 1.3 million Americans on gluten-free diets—including many school-aged kids—back-to-school is the perfect time to spotlight allergy-friendly lunchbox snacks.

About Mightylicious: 

In 2012 Carolyn was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. As a cookie-lover, she spent years seeking out gluten-free cookie brands. Then, while waiting in line holiday shopping, she bought a gluten-free cookie that crumbled entirely after one bite. That’s when she realized there had to be another way.

Deciding to take matters into her own hands, Carolyn resolved to
design a cookie that was gluten-free, healthy, and tasty. This recipe led to the first Mightylicious cookie! Today, Mightylicious cookies are sold online and in-stores and the line has expanded from 3 flavors to seven, including two vegan options.

Award-winning Mightylicious Gluten Free—recently recognized as one of the Best Snacks of 2025—is here to help families send their gluten-free kids back to school with confidence. Founder Carolyn Haeler, a celiac herself, shares expert tips and nutritious, allergy-conscious snacks to make the transition a little easier (and a lot tastier).

10 Smart Tips for Supporting Your Gluten-Free Student

1. Start with the School Staff: Meet with school nutrition and administrative teams to discuss gluten-free policies and substitutions.
2. Ask About Cross-Contamination Protocols: Understand how shared surfaces and utensils are handled.
3. Loop in the Teachers: Let teachers know what your child can’t eat—and what snacks are safe to keep on hand.
4. Plan Inclusive Classroom Events: Encourage gluten-free, allergy-safe snacks for parties and celebrations.
5. Monitor Craft Supplies: Watch for hidden gluten in items like play dough, papier-mâché, or envelope glue.
6. Teach Your Child to Politely Decline Food: Empower them to say no to food shared by classmates.
7. Practice Good Hygiene: Handwashing before eating helps minimize accidental gluten exposure.
8. Make a Gluten-Free Lunch Checklist: Use it to guide grocery shopping and meal prep.
9. Pack Lunches Together: Prep the night before to avoid morning stress and encourage independence.
10. Pack to Share: Add an extra treat so your child can show classmates how tasty gluten-free can be!
