Gluten Free 4th of July! (Recipes And More)



Every Fourth of July I think each family does something a little different compared to everyone else. I think some families are bigger and do big get togethers and cookouts, and other families are small and just enjoy spending time with each other watching fire works. I definitely have a smaller family and we always just go out and enjoy fireworks and a day just to celebrate the 4th of July. But unlike smaller families, you may have need gluten-free ideas and options for a cookout you may be having or going too. With this post I'll give you some creative and easy gluten-free 4th of July ideas that will make your experience a lot better!

Patriotic Desserts!
Patriotic Fruit Tray!

Super easy to do and makes just a plain fruit tray a whole lot better for the 4th of July. Best part is that it's naturally gluten free and only needs a few ingredients!

Ingredients: Just get Blueberries, Bananas, Strawberries and align as shown in the picture. Simple enough!



Healthy Gluten Free Shakes (Vanilla, Chocolate, and Chunky Monkey)

Get 2 cups of bananas, 2 cups of almond milk, 1 tsp vanilla and simply blend to make 2 servings of a Healthy Gluten Free Vanilla Shake! To make it chocolate, just add 2 Tbs. of cocoa powder. Then to make it Chunky Monkey, add 2 Tbs. of peanut butter!



Gluten Free Sugary Cookie Treat!

Gluten Free Hot Dog Ideas!

You may think hot dogs are gluten-free but there are actually many that are not which contain many fillers. 2 brands that are certified gluten-free would be Jenny-O and Nathan's Hot Dogs! Of course every hot dog needs a good hot dog bun, so look for Kinnikinnick, Udi's, or Rudi's hot dog buns to get the job done!




Awesome Chip Dips!
