Vegan 4th of July BBQ

You’ve converted to a plant based diet, and now another holiday is fast approaching. And a cookout nonetheless. Holidays centered around food can be a stressful time for vegans, but I’m here to help! I’ve included my favorite recipes for a vegan 4th of July BBQ that everyone will enjoy!

Appetizers & Snacks

Mixed Nuts

Having a bowl of mixed nuts is a healthy, easy snack. For some sweetness, try adding dried fruit.

Hummus

Homemade or store bought, this is another healthy snack that most everyone enjoys. Serve with a variety of fresh vegetables, crackers, or tortilla chips.

One-half cup of TVP “bacon” bits contains less than 150 calories and no cholesterol. That same amount of actual bacon pieces would be about 220 calories, 16 grams of fat (or over 20% of daily value), and 44 mg of cholesterol (about 15% of daily value).

    Amazing recipes and look like the real thing-whatever that is!! It’s wonderful how you can eat so many tasty recipes and make them your own. I did make the cucumber salad and it was delicious. The cookies look so much like tarts I had to look close!! Having a treat on occasion makes you appreciate it so much more!! Your food, festive towels and decor, dishes all loom so pretty! Thanks for sharing! God Bless!

    1. A vegan diet certainly isn’t what it used to be! There are lots of options and delicious recipes. Cucumber salads are my favorite summer food! Thanks for the compliments! 🥰
