Not only are there plenty of plant-based meat alternatives to throw on the grill, but there are abundant vegan options for dessert and drinks. According to VegNews, a couple of “accidentally vegan” pies can be found in the frozen aisle of the grocery store, like Claim Jumper’s Dutch Apple Pie and Marie Callender’s Lattice Peach Pie. Sierra Club has a recipe for a festive berry fruit tart that is a welcome replacement for the whipped cream-covered flag cake that can often be found at a Fourth of July gathering.
Beer is often the drink of choice for this summer holiday, and while many major brands are vegan, not all of them are, so Vegan.com has a guide for how you should fill your cooler. If you’re not a beer drinker, instead of spending all day shaking cocktails, an easy, fun way to get everyone an ice cold beverage is adding a popsicle to your favorite wine or liquor (via VegNews). There are more vegan options out there now more than ever, so everyone’s Fourth of July party can be as inclusive as possible.
