Patriotic Fruit for the Fourth of July

For our family, the Fourth of July means a BBQ picnic to celebrate our country with friends and family.  And a good old fashioned picnic means some yummy food!  This year, however, I"d like to keep the calories low instead of tons of tempting sweets and desserts.  It is swimsuit season :).  I"ve found some delicious treats that mainly involve red, white, and blue fruits, which means low calories are present!

You really don"t need a recipe for most of these fruit snacks.  You just have to reenact some of the following pictures and voila, you have a USA fruit display.  It"s so simple to put some yogurt in a glass bowl.  Then add a thick layer of blueberries and top that with some watermelon cut into stars. You can easily use a star cookie cutter to do so!  How easy is that?

You can also make the USA flag with blueberries in the corner and rows of raspberries, white cheese cubes, and strawberries placed in order to represent the stripes.  If you need to add some sweetness, place a couple bowls of melted white chocolate and milk chocolate on the side of the dish.  Guests can dip the fresh fruit into the chocolate if they"d like.  Let me know your healthy ways to celebrate this July!

XOXO, Chels
