Gluten-free grains.There are some grains that are gluten-free that can be included in your meal plan, such as rice, quinoa, corn, flax, buckwheat and sorghum. Any of our sandwiches and toasts can be made with gluten-free bread.
Legumes and nuts. Unprocessed legumes such as lentils and beans as well as nuts like walnuts, almonds and cashews are naturally gluten-free.
Cheese, yogurt and milk are naturally gluten-free too, and we check to make sure gluten wasn’t added during processing.
