The 4th of July is getting so close. If you have plans for potlucks or get together’s people are probably already asking what you will be bringing. If you are eating with an omni group there will be some pressure to bring food they will like too.
Don’t worry I’ve got a ton of ideas that will make everyone happy!
Healthy 4th of July Meal Ideas
Chances are there will be a grill nearby. Why not grill up some Portobello Burgers or Avocado Grillers?
If you need to make your meal ahead of time Vegan BBQ Sandwiches made from spaghetti squash keeps warm in a Crock Pot for a low maintenance meal.
Healthy side dishes are an easy substitute and less likely to be noticed as “different” by your friends.
Try this oil-free pasta salad, you can make it gluten-free as well. They most typical side dish might be Potato Salad so make sure you bring this healthy version. You can also substitute healthier ingredients to make baked beans and corn on the cob healthier.
Don’t forget dessert! I usually make Brownies because I can make them a day ahead but sometimes I’ll make an Apple or Strawberry Rhubarb Pie on the fly with Wholly Wholesome Pie Crust (they have a gluten-free version) or Sunbutter Cookies because they are safe for peanut allergies.
Don’t forget the drinks! There will probably be lots of soda but skip it for fresh Strawberry Lemonade instead.
