I love a good theme! Get Patriotic and stay on track all weekend long with these healthy desserts!
Patriotic Parfaits
Layer angel food cake, light whipped cream or yogurt, strawberries and blueberries in red, white and blue sequence. Can top with shredded coconut.
Festive Yogurt Bites
Dice strawberries and halve blueberries. Place them in a silicone mold and cover with yogurt. Make sure to put the blueberries round side down. As for the strawberries, dice them in very tiny pieces. Freeze for about 2 hours before eating! You can place them in a bowl sitting on ice so they won’t melt, but they won’t last for long sitting outside of the fridge and freezer.
Fireside Kebabs
Stack 1 strawberry, 1 marshmallow, 1 mini gluten-free brownie cupcake and 1 strawberry on skewers (Trader Joe’s has a good gluten-free brownie box mix). Drizzle with melted dark chocolate. Freeze before eating.
Banana Split Kebabs
Stack 2 strawberries, 2 pineapple pieces and 2 banana pieces (every other) on skewers. Drizzle with melted dark chocolate and top with chopped peanuts. Freeze before eating.
White Chocolate Strawberries
Dip strawberries in melted white chocolate then dip in blue sprinkles. Make sure to show a layer of red, white and blue! Freeze before eating. Can get fancy with sprinkles and different color melted chocolate!
Flag Fruit Plate
Use a cup of blueberries in the corner for the stars, then add rows of red fruit like cherries, strawberries and raspberries and yogurt covered pretzels for the stripes. You can substitute pretzels for your favorite gluten free snack dipped in melted white chocolate.
Coconut Water and Fresh Berry Popsicles
Add berries and coconut water to popsicle molds. Freeze for a few hours before eating. Easy, light and refreshing!
Enjoy the beautiful weekend! Stop by beach barre Sunday, July 3rd, 9:15am at Fisherman’s Beach!
