10 Gluten-Free Celebs Share Their Favorite Snacks
A gluten-free diet is a must for folks with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Either way, going gluten-free has become a more common diet trend in recent years, including with celebrities. Here’s a closer look at 10 tasty gluten-free snacks celebrities love.
1. Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba, 44, previously opened up about ditching gluten because of food allergies.
As she told Delish that her go-to snacks are either popcorn or hummus with cucumber, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes and cauliflower.
2. Zooey Deschanel
New Girl star Zooey Deschanel, 45, has not only celiac disease but also a soy allergy.
“My favorite snack, I recommend it to everybody, because I just think it’s the best snack. I haven’t had one person that doesn’t really agree with me once they start doing this snack, and it’s a classic: an apple and peanut butter,” she told EatingWell. “Can’t go wrong. It’s healthy. It has fiber and vitamins, carbs, protein and fat. It’s got everything, and it sustains you [for] a long time.”
