Pizza Lovers!!

Where my pizza lovers at?  Friday night just screams pizza and a movie right?? Well check it-

If you’re anything like me you have your hands raised!! One of my favorite things to eat is pizza.  Realistically it’s not something I can indulge in every day.  Although I sure wish it was! Did you know that one slice of pepperoni pizza has 254 calories! In one slice! I said ONE TINSY little slice! And let’s just be totally honest if we are eating pizza are we really only going to eat one slice? No!  My FAV is supreme!  But don’t think because they throw veggies on it that it’s better for you.  One slice of supreme has 257 calories.  That’s 3 more than peperoni! I’m dying a little on the inside.  

I see absolutely nothing wrong with having one cheat meal a week.  One cheat meal a week keeps us sane right?  Let’s just not make it a cheat day though.  A cheat day would be 3 sinful meals that could throw an entire week’s worth of hard work to a sketching halt.

All that being said, I have an alternative for ya! Takes basically no effort and it’s oh so good and healthy!! How about pizza with a spinach and cauliflower crust?? SCORE!

Here's what you will need:
· 1/3 Can Muir Glen Organic Pizza Sauce (Any organic, low sodium sauce will work)
· 2 Cups Kraft Fat Free Mozzarella Cheese
· 3 Cups Fresh Spinach
· 6 Cups Chopped Cauliflower
· 2 Large Egg Whites
· 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
· 1/2 Cup Diced Bell Pepper
· 1/2 Cup Sliced Red Onion
Now-
Heat your oven to 425
Microwave Cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl for 4 minutes. Add to mixer and mix for 4 minutes on medium.

Chop Spinach and add to mixer with cauliflower. Add egg whites, garlic and 1 cup of cheese to mixer. Keep mixing on medium until a foamy texture appears. 
Like so,

Spread the mixture onto a greased baking sheet with a spatula and flatten it out until there are no holes.  Bake for 10-15 minutes. 

Add 1 cup of cheese, bell peppers, sauce and onions on top of crust cook for another 10- 13 minutes until crust is lightly brown and toppings are cooked

And BAM! Healthy pizza it is!

Cut into 6 slices.
