Dessert and Drink ideas for the 4th of July

When planning for your weekend, remember that you can still choose to make healthy yet DELICIOUS desserts and drinks to impress your guests.





These are some of my favorite recipes:



Raspberry Cupcakes with Raspberry Icing (ALL-Natural coloring)

Watermelon Margaritas: great for using up leftover cold watermelon!

This does not look patriotic, but it is a great drink during this hot season. Thai Basil Spritzer

Raw Berry Cobbler with Walnut/Coconut Crumble. Everyone is sure to ask for seconds. Use blueberries and strawberries to give it a more patriotic look.

 And last but not least, Blackberry-Mint Shortcakes with Almond Cream. Again, you can always switch up the berries for a more patriotic look.
