7 Birthday Treats You Should Send Your Gluten Free Friend

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Vandy chapter.

Everyone loves receiving birthday packages, even your gluten free friends. Yeah, it can get kind of tricky determining what he or she can and cannot eat, but that doesn’t count as an excuse for only sending a card. Seriously, that’s just rude.

Bet you didn’t realize that even your fave gluten full birthday treat providers have these gluten-free options as well:

That’s right. As of November 17th, your favorite bite-sized cupcakes now come in gluten free flavors. You must send them the red velvet, tie-dye, classic yellow and triple chocolate crunch flavors.

Who wouldn’t want to lick the batter off the spoon without getting sick? Your gluten-free friend definitely would. Surprise them with oatmeal M&M, sugar cookie, breakfast banana chocolate chip and signature chocolate chip flavored cookie dough.

Your gluten free friend can still have their cake and eat it too. Trust me, they’re gonna love the chocolate salted caramel, chocolate birthday cake and peanut butter fudge flavors.

It may not be your friend’s 21st, but you can at least help them get “cookie-schmacked.” Check out the sweet corn, Yogi Bare and Monster flavors.

Even your gluten free friends want to relive their childhood memories with Snap, Crackle and Pop. Be sure to send M&M, birthday cake, caramel sea salt and pumpkin rice crispy treats their way.

Would you pass up the opportunity to devour a cupcake and remain crumb-free? Definitely not. Send your friend cookies and cream, Reverse Vanilla Birthday, chocolate salted caramel and Peanut Butter Surprise flavored goodness in a jar.

Last time I checked, fresh fruit covered in chocolate has always been gluten-free.
