Update: When I originally posted this pizza, I had mentioned I was having issues with it being watery in the end...I think I have perfected it! Not only that but I used a new crust from Golden Home that has 16g of protein which is perfect for this recipe in particular since it doesn't have any meat on it! So here it is, new and improved....and so pretty I didn't really want to eat it. Oh, who I am kidding, I cut that "ish" up and devoured it!
I am loving finding new pizzas to make each week. I had my standing meat and veggie, then I went for buffalo chicken...now on to the Margherita! We love pizza in our house so it is in a weekly rotation. And it is approved for pretty much every program I have done (21 Day Fix, Hammer and Chisel, 22 Minute Hard Corps, Insanity Max: 30).
Serves 1
This was from my original post, see new pictures below!
What You Need:
(Updated info is in parenthesis!)
1 Whole Grain Ultra Thin Pizza Crust from Golden Home or their amazing protein crust (pictured below)!
1/4 C Sauce - I use just enough Marinara or Pizza Sauce from Trader Joe's to cover the bottom.
1 small tomato sliced (preferably romo)
3 slices precut mozzarella (pictured), broken up
4-6 pieces of basil (sliced into strips)
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Place pizza crust on foil, top with sauce.
3. Place in oven for 5 minutes.
4. Take your 3 slices of mozzarella and dab with a paper towel to get rid of the extra water.
5. At the 5 minute mark, top your pizza evenly with your cheese.
6. While the pizza, sauce and cheese are cooking, cut up your tomato, take out the middle seeds, etc. and place in a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
7. With 3 minutes left, top your pizza with the tomatoes and finish cooking (cooks for 10 minutes total).
8. Take your pizza out and top with your cut up basil. Slice and enjoy!
Tips: When you buy a sauce, make sure it is natural, has no added sugars or other artificial crap! If you can only find a sauce WITH sugar, it will count as a purple on the Fix meal plan versus a green if you can find one without the sugars! Which I know you can. ;)
Fix Family: 1 green, 2 yellows, 1 blue. (w/ protein crust, 1 red)
