I'm just checking in to see how you are,
and to make sure your
plant-based journey
is going well.
If you ever have any questions or
concerns about anything, please feel
free to reach
out. I'm always
here for you if you need me.
Recently, my plant-based journey has taken
me on what
seems like an impossible quest
to
find a
VEGAN cauliflower pizza crust.
The only ones I could find at the grocery
stores contain dairy and
eggs.
What's a hungry vegan/plant-based girl
to do?
What I always do.
I figure it out.
And then I share it with you!
I knew I needed a binder to hold it
all together, like eggs normally would.
Turns out flax and water did that
brilliantly.
Then I went to work.
I came up with a highly nutritious,
fully
filling, highly satiating crust that
is delicious.
I'm also happy to report that cauliflower
is high
in choline, one of the few vegetables
that are.
Choline is an essential nutrient that helps
your DNA repair itself and is vital for
cell membranes to remain healthy.
Cauliflower also contains lots of water and
fiber, so
it makes you feel full very fast.
This is great news for weight loss.
Can you imagine eating pizza for weight loss?
What a deal!
I hope you get to make and enjoy the recipe below.
I promise it'll keep your hankerings for pizza satisfied
