What Makes a Gluten Free Vegan Snack Worth Buying
Finding genuinely good gluten free vegan snacks in Australia comes down to three things: a short ingredient list you can actually read, a texture worth craving, and a maker who takes cross-contact seriously. At MMMORE, we make handmade plant-based treats from wholefoods for exactly this reason. Most supermarket options fail on at least one of those counts.
The problem is rarely the flavour. It's the trade-offs. Mass-produced bars often lean on syrups, emulsifiers and "natural flavours" to hold everything together. They travel well and sit on shelves for months, but they rarely taste like food you'd choose on purpose.
We built our range around a different idea: treats made in small batches, from real ingredients, that happen to be gluten free and plant-based rather than being defined by what's missing. Below, we break down what to look for, then walk through the specific picks we'd hand you first.
According to Coeliac Australia's guidance on gluten-free labelling, "gluten free" is a regulated claim, not a marketing phrase, and that distinction matters when your health depends on it.

How These Snacks Compare at a Glance
Three formats cover almost every snacking moment. Dates suit slow enjoyment and gifting. Bars suit a proper hunger gap. Cubes suit a quick bite between meetings or after training. If you're unsure where to start, order one of each and let your week decide.
Chocolate Coated Dates: Peanut, Salted Caramel, Pistachio and Hazelnut
A whole medjool date, hand-filled with freshly ground nuts, then coated in 63% dark chocolate. That's the entire concept, and it works because each part is doing real work: the date brings natural sweetness and a soft bite, the nuts bring crunch, and the dark chocolate ties it together without burying the fruit.
Four flavours, each with a distinct personality:
- Peanut ($5.95): the classic. Roasted peanuts, soft date, dark chocolate. Nothing clever, just well made.
- Salted Caramel Peanut ($5.95): the same peanut base with a touch of Celtic salt. Sweet, salty and nutty in one bite.
- Pistachio ($6.95): freshly ground, dry-roasted pistachios. The most delicately flavoured of the four.
- Hazelnut ($6.50): rich and creamy, with the depth you'd expect from roasted hazelnuts.
Where these fall short: they're a treat, not a meal replacement. Keep them somewhere cool. If you want a protein hit instead of a dessert moment, read on.
The Good Bars: Peanut and Hazelnut Protein Bars
The Good Bars are what we reach for when a snack needs to actually hold us until dinner. Each bar is nutrient-rich, packed with flavour and enrobed in dark chocolate, with plant-based protein doing the heavy lifting.
Two versions:
- The Good Bar Peanut ($6.95): deeply satisfying, with the familiar peanut-and-chocolate pairing done properly.
- The Good Bar Hazelnut ($6.95): loaded with roasted hazelnuts for a rich, creamy crunch.
Both are handcrafted in small batches.
Power Cubes: Raspberry, Choco and Vanilla Protein Bites
Power Cubes are the smallest thing we make and possibly the most useful. Each serve delivers more than 5g of plant-based protein from a short list of ingredients you can recognise, in three flavours: Raspberry, Choco and Vanilla. All three are $4.20.
They suit the moments that don't deserve a full bar: the 3pm dip, the walk between the train and the office, the ten minutes after a workout before you've worked out what's for dinner. Raspberry is the fruitiest and lightest. Choco is the one to hand a sceptic. Vanilla is the quiet achiever.
If you're building a lunchbox, these are the easiest fit because they're compact and they don't crumble.
Easy Gluten-Free Vegan Snacks for Busy Days
The best easy gluten-free vegan snacks are the ones already in your bag when hunger hits. That's a stocking decision, not a willpower decision.
A few habits that make it work:
- Keep one shelf in the pantry dedicated to grab-and-go options so you're not hunting through the cupboard at 4pm.
- Buy in small quantities across a few formats rather than a bulk box of one thing. Variety prevents boredom, and boredom is what sends you to the vending machine.
- Pair a protein-forward snack with something fresh when you can. A Power Cube and an apple beats either on its own.
None of this is complicated. It just needs to happen before you're hungry, because nobody makes good food decisions while ravenous.
Coeliac-Safe Vegan Snacks: What to Check Before You Buy
For anyone with coeliac disease, the label check matters more than the flavour. Gluten free is a regulated claim in Australia, and products carrying it must meet strict requirements, but "vegan" and "gluten free" are two separate claims, so you need to verify both.
What to look for on any packet:
- A clear "gluten free" statement, not just an absence of wheat in the ingredient list
- A "vegan" or "plant-based" claim, since gluten-free products sometimes contain egg or dairy
- A short ingredient list with items you recognise
- A statement about how the product is made if you have a severe allergy
One honest caveat: we make products containing peanuts, pistachios and hazelnuts in the same kitchen. If you have a severe nut allergy, or you're buying for someone who does, contact us before ordering so we can talk you through exactly what we can and can't guarantee. We'd rather have that conversation than have you take a risk.
Gluten-Free Vegan Lunchbox Snacks for Kids and Adults
Lunchbox snacks have a harder job than pantry snacks. They need to survive a bag, hold up without refrigeration, and still be something the person eating them actually wants at midday.
For kids, Power Cubes are the simplest answer: compact, no mess, and sweet enough to feel like a treat rather than a compromise. For adults, a Good Bar travels just as well and does more work on the hunger front. If you're packing for a mix of ages, both fit in the same lunchbox without drama.
The trick with lunchboxes is rotation. The same snack five days a week stops being appealing by Wednesday, so alternate between a cube and a bar, and swap flavours week to week. It sounds trivial, but it's the difference between a lunchbox that gets eaten and one that comes home untouched.
Finding snacks that are genuinely both gluten free and vegan, made from real ingredients, and good enough to look forward to is harder than it should be. That's the gap MMMORE was built to fill: handmade treats made with premium wholefoods, nothing artificial, and a range that covers everything from a lunchbox filler to a gift worth giving. Explore our Chocolate Coated Dates, The Good Bars and Power Cubes, and stock your pantry with snacks that earn their place. Shop the MMMORE range and find your new favourite.
Frequently Asked Questions
What snacks are both gluten-free and vegan?
Snacks that are both gluten-free and vegan avoid wheat, barley, rye and all animal products. Good options include date-based treats, nut and seed bars, dark chocolate-coated fruit, and plant-based protein cubes. MMMORE's range is entirely gluten-free and plant-based, with options like Chocolate Coated Dates and Power Cubes. Always check the label for allergen statements, as some products may share equipment with gluten-containing ingredients.
How can I check whether a snack is safe for someone with coeliac disease?
Look for a clear 'gluten-free' claim on the packaging and check the allergen statement for wheat, barley, rye and oats. In Australia, products labelled gluten-free must meet strict standards set by Food Standards Australia New Zealand. If you are unsure, contact the manufacturer directly and ask about their testing and cross-contamination controls. MMMORE uses wholefood ingredients and provides full ingredient lists so you can verify before buying.
Which gluten-free vegan snacks are good for lunchboxes?
For lunchboxes, choose snacks that hold up well and are easy to portion. Power Cubes come individually wrapped and contain more than 5g of plant-based protein per serve, making them a practical choice for school or work. The Good Bars are another option, though they are larger and better suited to older kids or adults. Check your school's nut policy before packing any snack containing peanuts or tree nuts.
Are accidentally vegan snacks always gluten-free?
No. A snack can be vegan (containing no animal products) while still containing gluten from wheat, barley or rye. For example, some plain crisps are vegan but may be cooked in oil that also processes wheat-based snacks, or they may contain gluten-derived flavourings. If you have coeliac disease, always check for a specific gluten-free claim rather than relying on a vegan label alone.
What sweet snacks are gluten-free and vegan?
Sweet options include chocolate-coated dates, dark chocolate bars with no dairy, date and nut energy balls, and plant-based protein cubes in flavours like raspberry, choco and vanilla. MMMORE's Chocolate Coated Dates come in peanut, salted caramel peanut, pistachio and hazelnut varieties, all coated in 63% dark chocolate. These satisfy a sweet craving while staying free from gluten and animal products.
