Healthy, Low-Carb Pizza .


Everyone loves pizza or at least I haven't found anyone who doesn't. Problem with pizza, is that it's horrible for you. Bad starches, loads of crappy sauce and greasy cheese.....don't forget the meats that are super processed.

I think that most fitness professionals have a healthy pizza recipe in their nutritional quiver and here is mine.

I stole the crust recipe and I can't remember from who, so I'm sorry I can't give proper credit:

1 1/2 C flax seed meal
2 t baking powder
1 t salt
1 t oregano
1 T splenda
3 T oil
3 omega-3 eggs
1/2 C water

Nutritional information:
1525 calories
47 G protein
7 G carbs
130 G fat
52 G fiber

This makes enough to make about 2 good size pizza's. I just make small little personal ones, like the one pictured.

Pre-heat over to 425. Mix all dry ingredients together. Add wet ingredients and mix. Let sit for about 5 minutes to allow to thicken. Spread out on a pan and bake for 15-18 minutes.

For this night, I added organic red/green peppers, diced onions, sliced tomato's and turkey sausage. I drizzled EVOO on the crust before adding the goodies, put it back in the oven for 5-7 minutes.

Add whatever spices you like depending on the type of pizza you are making.

Enjoy
