Healthy Pizza
Author:
EVERYONE loves pizza, and if you DON’T you’re probably from another planet…or another dimension entirely. But the PWP (Problem With Pizza, not Parents Without Partners) is this: it’s got way too much saturated fat and cholesterol, glycotoxins, is fiber-poor, and REALLY fattening. Who wants to eat it if you have to WEAR it too? Take heart! There IS a way to make pizza really healthy and absolutely delicious, high in fiber, and cholesterol-free. And it’s easy too!

We did a variation that was yummy! Instead of tomato sauce we added pieces of lox and capers. BTW if you are looking for the mozzarella soy cheese I found it in the veggie section of Giant (adjacent to the fruits and vegetable section)
