10 Autoimmune Snacks That Are AIP Compliant

/

If you’re following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet, you know how challenging it can be to find snacks that are both satisfying and fully compliant. AIP is a specialized elimination diet designed to help reduce inflammation, support gut health, and manage autoimmune conditions. It removes common inflammatory triggers like grains, dairy, eggs, legumes, nuts, seeds, nightshades, and processed foods.

People with conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or celiac disease often turn to AIP to identify foods that may worsen symptoms and to create a nutrient-dense eating plan that supports immune balance. The focus is on whole, nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, and certain herbs and spices.

Whether you’re new to AIP or looking to expand your snack repertoire, here are 10 delicious and satisfying snacks you can enjoy while staying fully compliant.
