The 4th of July is just around the corner! I love a good food-themed holiday, so I’ve gathered up some of my favorite recipes.
Grain-Free Berry Crisp
The 4th of July is smack in the middle of berry season! Which is perfect because because strawberries and blueberries make some pretty patriotic (and gorgeous!) recipes!
Red, White and Blue Layered Smoothie
This smoothie is super refreshing, which makes it perfect for serving on July 4th or any other hot summer day. The layers look super impressive, but are actually really easy to make, because you know I’m all about simple recipes!

Vegan Gluten-Free Strawberry Shortcakes
I’m a total sucker for a good strawberry shortcake and it’s a safe bet I’ll be whipping this one up! These mini shortcakes are the best and you can incorporate some blueberries to make them even more “on-theme” if you want.

Raspberry Sorbet
Sorbet is the best – especially this recipe because it only calls for 3 ingredients! For the 4th, you can even make two batches: one with raspberries and one with blueberries!

Creamy Vegan Potato Salad
This creamy potato salad is a great dish to bring to a 4th of July party or a BBQ. I’m a huge fan of the Dijon + dill flavor combo, so this recipe is a go-to for me. I promise, no one will even suspect that it’s 100% plant-based!
