"Going gluten-free can seem like a daunting endeavor, but armed with a positive attitude and a little creativity you will soon find yourself as satisfied as you were before you changed your diet&amp;amp;#8212;except you&amp;#x27;ll be feeling better too. Here are a few tips to help get you started or, for you gluten-free pros, check out these tricks to shake up that old eating routine. 1. Make a banana more fun! Slice them and top with softened goat cheese. 2. Mash a can of chickpeas with chili powder, sea salt, pepper, and olive oil for a simple bean dip that you can enjoy with gluten-free rice crackers. 3. Spiced Pecans: Toss pecans in coconut oil and cinnamon; roast at 400 degrees until golden brown and serve for a holiday treat. 4. Use a mixture of crushed almonds, cashews, and ground flaxseeds to coat your chicken fingers instead of using store-bought &amp;quot;white bread&amp;quot; empty-calorie bread crumbs for a gluten-free dish with an extra protein boost. 5. For a quick snack that&amp;#x27;s dairy-free and gluten-free (and vegan too!): Combine Go Veggie! Vegan Parmesan Cheese with finely chopped cashews; mix well and transfer to a baking sheet to create easy &amp;quot;Parm&amp;quot; crackers. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. We&amp;#x27;ll share some ready-made gluten-free snacks later today. For more recipes, try Glamour&amp;#x27;s easy-to-use Springpad notebooks!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
