Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, a picnic in the park, or a festive family gathering this independence day, I have nutritious and delicious recipes that will make celebrating easy and starting with patriotic chips and salsa.
This patriotic salsa is the perfect snack to kick off your independence day festivities and is packed with fresh, in-season produce including blueberries, strawberries and jicama from Sprouts Farmers Market.
Sprouts offers a wide selection of local, organic, unique products to fit any lifestyle, and are known for the season’s freshest, most delicious produce around located at the heart of the market. They keep seasonality always top of mind and work with local farmers to bring in the season’s freshest, most delicious produce including limited-time varieties you can’t find anywhere else. To make this salsa, combine 1 cup of blueberries, diced strawberries and diced jicama with 1/3 cup of cilantro, salt and the juice of a lime.
Next, add a burst of fresh flavor to your 4th of July spread with grilled mahi mahi tacos.
Mahi mahi is a lean and flavorful fish that pairs perfectly with a crunchy vinegar-based slaw. These tacos are made with a base of grain-free shells which are a tasty gluten-free option. Sprouts offers a fresh, friendly take on grocery shopping, where exploration and discovery happen naturally. Shoppers will discover a wide selection of natural and organic foods, including farm-fresh produce, bulk foods, fresh meat and seafood, vitamins and supplements, seasonal items, and unique attributed products such as plant-based, gluten-free, dairy-free, and more, all at affordable prices. To make these tacos, drizzle the fish with olive oil and season it with taco seasoning before grilling for 5-6 minutes on each side. Top with lime juice before serving out of grain free taco shells with coleslaw and salsa.
For dessert, take advantage of the natural sweetness of in-season blueberries with this almond blueberry crisp.
Unlike traditional crisps made with refined flour, this one is made with a mix of almond flour, shredded coconut and walnuts for a nutritious twist. Every time you shop, shoppers can expect a feel-good experience and the best assortment of better-for-you products. They take extra care in curating uniquely healthy products to fit any lifestyle. To make the crisp topping, combine 1 cup of blanched almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut and chopped walnuts with ¼ cup of melted coconut oil and ¼ cup of maple syrup. Place 4 cups of blueberries in a baking dish, place the crumble on top and bake for 20 min at 375 F.
Finally, cheers to America with coconut water refreshers.
Coconut water is great for staying hydrating in the summer heat thanks to its natural electrolytes. To make these refreshers, combine coconut water, orange juice, sparkling water and fresh mint.
