Scrolling through Nicole Cogan’s Instagram feed is a lot like falling into a gluten-free wonderland stocked with cauliflower rice, #smoothiegoals, and all the nut butters. Cogan started her blog, No Bread, out of personal need back in 2009—back in those days, taking clients out to eat at her Wall Street job proved exceedingly difficult with a gluten intolerance, and she wanted to keep a record of her favorite restaurants and dishes. Nowadays, the GF pro offers intel to her 150k followers on everything from the latest and greatest gluten-free snacks to how to navigate the menus at their local eateries.
What was once a side hustle is now a full-time passion project that interweaves gluten-free eating with cupping sessions, CorePower yoga, and impromptu dance classes with her BFFs (including Nina Dobrev). So how does she fuel herself for all this action? Below, Cogan gives you a glimpse into her fridge full of gluten-free treasures.

Califia Farms Almond Milk
“It is rare to find a brand whose unsweetened nut milk has so much flavor and no added sugars! They make my smoothies so creamy, and I love that they are sustainably sourced and non-GMO.”
$15, pack of 2
Healthy Drinks
“Spindrift seltzers and Honeydrop lemonades are my go-tos. I mostly drink them when I am having a sugar craving—or during an afternoon slump when I don’t want to have matcha or caffeine.”
$22, pack of 24
Carrots
“With a knife, I cut them into ‘fries’ and toss them in 1 Tbsp coconut oil, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. I cook them at 350º for 20 minutes, then flip and cook at 400º for 10 minutes. Carrots are great for a low-FODMAP diet, which I’ve been trying to follow!”
The Coconut Cult Yogurt
“Whatever you do, don’t eat it by the jar like I did when I first got it! This stuff is powerful! 2 Tbsp max at a time, and ease yourself into it.”
$49, pack of 2
Belcampo Organic Poultry Bone Broth
“I will make a bone-broth soup from 2 cups of broth loaded with my favorite steamed and boiled veggies, like zucchini and squash. It has done wonders for my gut and digestive system!”
$16
Simple Mills Organic Gluten-Free Vanilla Frosting
“It’s so funny, I grew up totally addicted to icing. I would eat it by the spoonful and totally overindulge! Now, I just use it as a topping on my recipes, and I don’t eat it by the spoonful.”
$15, pack of 3
