Gluten intolerance isn’t something anyone hopes for. But if there was ever a good season to be gluten intolerant, it would be summer. This is the season when we all prefer chilled meals to cooked foods like stew and broth. And luckily for you, there are plenty of cooling foods out there that are naturally gluten-free.

Let’s take a look at some of the best naturally gluten-free foods to lavish in this warm season.

Watermelon

Watermelon is probably one of the tastiest summer fruits to keep an eye out for. This delicious fruit will keep you hydrated on hot summer days and it is considered a great diet food to try if you want to shake a few pounds this season. Cut it into cubes, and pop it in the freezer for an extra cooling treat on those hot days.

Meaty Treats

Red meat, poultry, and seafood are all naturally gluten-free. But you do need to be careful when buying these foods. Processed meats like canned fish or minced patties can sometimes contain gluten ingredients like flour. To stay safe, it is best to buy unprocessed meat products like steak, whole chicken, and coating free seafood.

Nuts and Seeds

If you are not too fond of meaty products then you should take care to consume lots of nuts and seeds. 

These gluten-free treats are rich in protein and can help you stay full of energy so you can have lots of fun in the sun.

Dairy Products

Dairy products like milk, cheese, cream, cottage cheese, sour cream, yogurt, and butter are usually gluten-free and very healthy to drink or eat. It is, however, important to steer clear from processed dairy products like flavoured milk, flavoured yogurt, ice cream, cheese spreads, cheese sauces, and other processed items since these are often mixed with additives that may contain gluten protein.

Fruit Salad

Fruit salads that contain citrus fruits, bananas, apples, berries, peaches, and pears are perfect for when you need a light but cooling lunch. These salads are also packed with energy and will give you a great boost of vitamin C and other needed nutrients. With these foods, you want to avoid dressings like ice cream, sauces, dessert whips, and custard since these usually contain gluten ingredients. A pure 100% fruit salad is however harmless and perfectly fine to indulge in.

Veggie Salad

Veggie salads are perfect for summer dinner parties because they are easy to prepare, they are healthy and you don’t have to spend any time in front of a hot stove. You can add all sorts of fresh vegetables like onions, bell peppers, green beans, radishes, carrots, leafy greens, spinach, cucumber, or celery.

Just be careful to avoid salads that have processed ingredients like bread crumbs, biscuits, croutons, and be extra careful when adding sauces since these usually contain gluten-rich additives.

 We can all agree that these naturally gluten-free treats are pretty tasty when you eat them at the right time. But no one can realistically survive without occasional baked treats. It is just about impossible to spend your entire summer without a delicious sandwich, a slice of cake, or tasty pastries and pies.
