One of the most festive and delicious fourth of July treats is patriotic berry kabobs. This patriotic flag is not only beautiful, but it’s also amazingly tasty and healthy. Plus, they are so quick to make.

You will need some wooden skewers, bananas, strawberries and blueberries. Alternate slices of strawberries and bananas, top the last skewers with blueberries and you’ll have the patriotic flag.

3. Red, white and blue cheesecake

If you feel like making your own cheesecake, red, white and blue cheesecake is a simple and easy Fourth of July dessert. Purchase a cheesecake, slice it into even slices, make streaks of red using raspberry or strawberry jam and place several blueberries to create the square of stars in the top left corner.

4. Patriotic punch

Patriotic punch is a great beverage for a sultry July day. Just pour a little cranberry juice, add in several ice cubes and pour blue Gatorade frost directly on top of the ice.

Let the ice cubes be the “white” portion of the punch, or add in sprite. Try to pour each layer on top of the ice so the layers stay separate. You can make a batch of this patriotic punch in a clear dispenser or in individual glasses.
