If you're starting to see lots of red, white and blue recipes taking over your feed, that means we're getting close to the 4th of July! However, a lot of the most popular dessert and snack recipes out there call for tons of sugar. So, let's take a look at some healthier, yet patriotic, options to celebrate America's birthday so you can feel a little less guilty about eating an extra helping.
If you are hosting an Independence Day bash this year, your guests will thank you for these tasty treats that are lighter (and better) for them. Here are 13 snacks to keep you on track this July 4th holiday.
Low-carb berries, like strawberries and raspberries , are perfect to use for the red color and blueberries and blackberries are ideal for the blue. Some of the popular ingredients for the white color include coconut, cream cheese and condensed milk. But, watermelon is another great red fruit and honeydew melon can be used for the white. These make it easy to make healthier versions of popular patriotic dishes.
Scroll through these healthy snacks and be sure to pin your favorites to come back to when you're planning your July 4th menu for the best birthday party America has ever seen!
