Pudding is forever a favorite among kids and adults alike, and luckily it’s easy to swap out some key ingredients and make this quick classic allergen-free! Milk acts as the base for most homemade puddings, so instead of dairy or nut milk options, sub in Unsweetened Original Ripple — a plant-based milk made from pea protein. Aside from being a safe alternative, it gets bonus points for having zero sugar, 32mg DHA Omega-3s, and lots of Vitamin D and B-12 to support healthy growth.

Just make sure the rest of the ingredients — sugar, corn starch, salt, and cacao powder — are made in allergen-free facilities, and you’re good to go.

It doesn’t get much simpler or more naturally allergy-friendly than this, my friends. Pick up some popsicle molds and your kids’ favorite fresh fruits. (Watermelon, apples, pineapples, and strawberries tend to work well and taste great.) Puree, pour into your molds, add a popsicle stick, freeze for seven to eight hours, and that’s it. Yes, really!

You can opt for the addition of a bit of honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness. Mix things up even more by layering a teaspoon of dairy-free yogurt in between fruit puree layers in your popsicle mold.

A great option for fueling a few kids or more, this is a DIY crowd-pleaser that you can totally make your own. Start with some gluten-free pretzels, crunchy cereal, and snack crackers.

Naturally, you’ll want to skip the nuts, but consider tossing in sunflower or pumpkin seeds for some added protein. Raisins and other dried fruit makes a nice addition, too. If your crew is into the salty and sweet combo, add some allergy-free chocolate chips or candies into the mix, and help satisfy that craving!

You read that right — this classically sweet cookie option can easily make the transition into an allergen-free snack. You’ll need to make some swaps, but that can be done easily and deliciously.

Your eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon should be safe (just check their labels). Swap the milk out for Unsweetened Original Ripple (which, bonus: has has 50% more calcium than dairy milk), and opt for a dairy-free butter substitute as well. Use your favorite gluten-free flour, too. Hot out of the oven with some cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top, these cookies are to die for.

Here’s another one that’s about as easy as it comes with just three items needed: medium ripe bananas, allergy-friendly dipping chocolate, and popsicle sticks. You’ll want to peel the bananas and place them on the popsicle sticks, then wrap them in plastic wrap and pop ‘em in the freezer for three to four hours so they can withstand the heat of the chocolate.

Once your chocolate is melted, dip the frozen banana pops in, and your dipped bananas are ready to set in the freezer.

Some recipes call for chopped nuts as an outer coating, but naturally, you’ll want to skip this step for an allergy friendly treat. But it doesn’t mean you can’t consider rolling the dipped banana in sprinkles or coconut flakes before freezing!

Roasted chickpeas are another impossibly easy snack time favorite to add to your repertoire. They’re allergy-free, packed with protein, and can be made any number of ways. Drain and rinse your chickpeas, then pat them dry. Sprinkle with olive oil and salt at your discretion, then roast them up. Once they’ve crisped, sprinkle your kids’ favorite herbs and seasonings for a chip-like quality, or toss with nutritional yeast for a non-dairy cheddar flavor.

There’s nothing quite like a thick, fudgy brownie, is there? It may just be the ultimate treat, and the allergy-free option sacrifices none of the flavor. Simply swap out all-purpose white flour for a gluten-free variety, and use Chocolate Ripple Milk in place of regular or nut milk — you won't have to sacrifice any of that chocolate goodness, and it's lower in sugar than dairy chocolate milk.

Everything else should be compatible if it’s made in an allergen-free facility (sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, coconut oil, and vanilla extract). Vegan chocolate chips are an optional topping, but when do kids say no to more chocolate?

A great companion for this treat are the Ripple Kids Cartons, with eight times more protein than almond milk. It comes in original, chocolate, and vanilla, and it's the best way to wash down this allergy-friendly delight.

A powerhouse when it comes to protein and flavor, this snack travels well and is another simple one to put together. Opt for gluten-free granola, raisins, and dried fruit for fiber, and chocolate chips for added sweetness.

A nut-free butter, like sunflower butter, makes a great option for binding your ingredients together, and a drizzle of honey and vanilla extract lend natural sweetness. Skip the nuts, ensure your ingredients are made and packaged in an allergy-free facility, and voilà!
