What’s Fourth of July without a cold beverage? The best way to avoid alcohol and feeling like crap the next day is to opt for a fruit-infused sparkling water. You can add strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cucumbers, basil… the list goes on.
Or you can try a sugar free, homemade lemonade. Here’s a quick video on how to throw this together super quick and easy.
Swap Pizza for Veggie Pizza
And last but not least, You will surely be the life of the party bringing a colorful, homemade pizza made with cauliflower crust. SO YUMMY!!
Here’s a recipe for that too, although I highly recommend skipping the cheese.
Remember, preparation is everything. You don’t have to miss out on anything, all you have to do is make sure you have options that keep you in alignment with your goals.
