8 Patriotic Recipes to Celebrate the 4th of July

No Independence Day is complete without a few red, white, and blue treats! Celebrate America’s birthday with some of the patriotic recipes below. They’re all easy to make and will make your partygoers ooh and ahh almost as much as they will over the fireworks!

Independence Day Fruit Tray
No recipe needed for this one! It can be as big or as small as fits your gathering. Take your favorite red fruits and use those, along with blueberries and banana, to create the American flag! We picked cherries and raspberries for the version below, but you can use watermelon, strawberries, grapes, or even goji berries if you’re feeling super fancy.

Red, White, and Blueberry Parfait
If you’re road-tripping, it might be tempting to hit the drive thru at McDonald’s to pick up their Fruit ‘n Yogurt Parfait, but our version contains less carbs, less sugar, twice the fiber, and nearly six times the protein. Our Red, White, and Blueberry Parfait uses only ½ teaspoon of raw honey as an added sweetener; McDonald’s uses sugar-spiked vanilla yogurt as well as three different types of sugar in their granola topping.
