Festival Snack Reality Check
When you think of a festival, what flashes first? Bass drops. Glitter sweat? Dancing till your legs resign. And, yeah, food.
But in reality, most festival foods are straight-up gluten traps. Breaded, fried, or deep-fried, everything you proudly ditched during your “clean eating” era. It sneaks right back in, through mystery seasonings, shared fryers, and those fishy secret coatings.
Next thing you know, you’re bloated, sleepy, and missing the beat you came to live for. Not at all festive. The solution is right there: Schoolyard Snacks. Its light, protein-packed, gluten-free snacks are built for energy and motion. Toss it in your bag, grab it between sets, and keep your energy up to the beat all day long.
