Dear Leah: I need some snack ideas for my classroom that are dairy-free and shelf stable. — Back to School Teacher

Dear Teacher: While you may have to double check individual items for ingredients, here are some ideas for products that are generally dairy-free or may have dairy-free options:

• 100% fruit and vegetable juices (low sodium)

• Fruit cups and pouches with no added sugar

• Shelf-stable hummus with whole wheat/whole grain crackers

• Dried fruit like raisins or low sugar craisins

Related Items

• Nuts and peanuts (lightly salted)

• Popcorn

• Cereals

• Trail-Mix

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
