Another first... I managed to go into Sports Authority without buying anything! Huge win for me. I also managed to go to the beautiful Nike store downtown and walked out with NOTHING. Let me tell you, it took everything out of my to not pick up a new pair of running spandex, but I resisted the urge. I hope my bank account is happy because it sure made me sad.
I will be buying these ASAP |
Anyway, back to this pizza. You have to give it a try! It is a great low carb version and if you put the right toppings on and limit the cheese it's pretty healthy. I would not recommend eating the entire pizza in one setting because there is a bit of cheese in the crust, but eat a couple pieces and a large salad and you are set for veggies.

Ingredients
Crust:
1 Head or 2 Cups of Cauliflower Riced (processed in the food processor until it looks like rice)
2 C Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese
2 Eggs, beaten
1 Clove Garlic, minced
2 tsp Dried Oregeno
Toppings:
Pizza Sauce of Choice
Roasted Eggplant
Sauteed Onions and Peppers
Mozzarella Cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees
2. In a large bowl, combine all of your crust ingredients. Mix well until they are all combined.
3. Form two 9' pizza crusts on a sprayed baking sheet. Press down until they are about 1 inch in thickness.
4. Bake for 12-15 Minutes
5. Top with your desired toppings and bake for another 10 minutes. **
**If you really load on the ingredients, it will be hard to pick up your pizza without having the crust break. If you prefer a lot of toppings, just eat it with a fork, and you will be just fine.
I might try this. The pictures look so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Melody! It is delicious, and always great when it's guilt free:)
ReplyDeleteYum, the pizza looks delish! I've never tried anything like that.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I make our own bread in a dutch over (SUPER easy. We haven't bought bread in months and months), so I use the dough for pizza as well. Right now we're using organic wheat flour & dark rye flour, plus water, yeast and a splash of salt. So tasty, and SO much better for you.
On another note, what health coach certification are you doing? I've started browsing some cert options, but I'm not sure I fit as a nutritionist or personal trainer. Just curious about yours!
Your pizza dough sounds awesome too! I'll have to give it a try. In regards to my coaching certification, I am doing mine through ACE. They have a really great program. I also on the bridge of whether or not I want to be a nutritionist or personal trainer, so I thought this was a great blend. I figured I'd go with PT next or go back to school to become a dietitian. It's always a journey!
