Have you ever arrived to a BBQ party just to realize that there’s nothing on the menu that tickles your (healthy) fancy? I’ve been that person. But wait… you can stick to your food regimen even if you’re not hosting! Just prep your favorite dish at home and bring it to the party–and show your friends, even the most sceptical ones, that veg-based summer BBQ food can be colorfully seasonal, healthy and delicious.
Here’s a lineup of my favorite recipes for the July 4th weekend of blending, grilling and tossing. The breakfast items can double as a fabulous #breakfastfordessert.
Bonus: You won’t have to feel forced to order that post-festivities juice cleanse on Monday. Win-win!
