Dairy Queen might not be the best place for having an abundance of keto or vegan options, but its gluten-free offerings are pretty decent!
If you’re avoiding gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley), what are your food and drink options at Dairy Queen? We’re glad you asked because we’ve compiled a complete list below!
Gluten-free Food and Drink Options at Dairy Queen
The master nutrition tables Dairy Queen provides don’t list the ingredients for each item, so we include items that don’t contain wheat, the main source of gluten in a typical Western diet. Gluten is also found in rye and barley, so people with extreme gluten intolerance (like Celiac disease) should verify that any item is gluten-free.
Ice cream/gluten fact: malt is not gluten-free because it’s derived from barley, so malted milkshakes aren’t gluten-free.
Ice cream, shakes, & smoothies
Some Blizzards ‘may contain wheat’ (according to the Dairy Queen nutrition tables), but people with less severe gluten intolerance can likely enjoy those Blizzards. If you have Celiac disease, you may want to avoid these Blizzards.

FAQ’s:
Fruit smoothies are made from fruit, yogurt, and juice and aren’t as light and frothy as Orange Julius drinks. An Orange Julius contains more ice and has orange juice, powdered egg whites, and vanilla, giving it its distinct flavor.
Reese’s candies are gluten-free, but the Dairy Queen specifies that the Reese’s Blizzard may contain wheat, likely due to potential cross-contamination.
