I’ve gotten a ton of requests to make a picnic-inspired video! I had a picnic coming up myself, so I figured it was the perfect time to give y’all what you wanted.

This is the perfect combination of picnic recipes if I do say so myself, and of course, they’re all vegan! Any omni in the crowd will be happy to devour these goodies with ya.

My sangria recipe is the perfect on-the-go bevvy for hot days. It’s only four ingredients, and super easy to carry on the go if you have some mason jars or bottles on hand! Just keep ’em in the fridge until you’re ready to go.

Next up is a tasty AF lentil slaw! It’s light, crunchy, and basically screams “summer”. You can eat it on its own, or do whatever your #hotforfoodie heart desires with it! It’d taste great in wraps, sandwiches, or whatever other crazy creations you can think of.

Third on the picnic recipe agenda: super simple wraps that are easy to pop in your mouth! There’s lots of variations of these with cream cheese as the base, but I opted for a hummus and avocado instead. These are also super versatile, so feel free to follow my recipe or improvise depending on which fillings you like best!

OBVI this wouldn’t be a hot for food picnic without a sweet treat at the end. I’m obsessed with cookie dough just like most people on the planet. But we all know eating raw eggs gives you salmonella… or at least, that’s what we’re all told as kids. Lucky for us vegans, we don’t gotta worry about that nonsense! This cookie dough ball recipe is ridiculously easy and only four ingredients.
