Eric Day: Whole-food Pizza
Sometimes we have a strong pizza craving, so we decided to create a nutritious, guilt-free version that delights our taste buds. This is a very basic version, but feel free to add your favorite veggie toppings. We often add chopped broccoli, tomatoes, and sometimes zucchini - whatever we have on hand! We usually use the nut-cheese topping below to keep it 100% whole-foods, but once in a while we'll replace it with a store-bought non-dairy cheese (good for first-time vegan pizza eaters).|
