Pizza made healthy





TACO PIZZA  





Prepare dough.  While you wait for dough to rise set aside and move on to step 1.  Once you have kneaded the dough, rolled it out and it is on a stone or pan poke with a fork in several places.  Place in oven and cook for about 5-8 minutes with nothing on it. 

1. Choose your meat, I use ground chicken!
2. While you cook the meat add Taco seasoning to it.  1 packet.

Once you have cooked the dough for 5-8 min, remove from the oven and top with taco sauce or Salsa, cheese and meat for about 10-15minutes.  Watch for cheese to brown a little.

After you have cooked pizza fully, remove from oven and top with all your favorites!


  Then you top it off with everything and anything you desire.
Lettuce, tomato, Salsa, sour cream, cheese, peppers, Crushed Dorrito Chips 



This picture is with white flour.  Pizza pictured above is with wheat!  Crust recipe found in the back to basics section.  To do the crust with wheat either to half wheat and half flour or all wheat.  

The incredible edible EGG!

EGGS!
4-5 Egg Whites with cheese and spinach.  The banana muffins are in the Something to bake section.



Omelette


Use whatever vegetables you have leftover from the night before. I added a little red roasted pepper hummus in the center. Add a little salsa on the top with a little cilantro.

I just had broccoli. Green beans, zucchini, carrots, peppers etc....would all taste great!



Taco Night


(with a twist)
I scrambled up eggs and threw it over a salad with peppers salsa cheese.

Smoothies

Smoothies






1. No YOGURT Smoothie!

PEACHES N CREAM
 Take 1 cup almond milk, 2 cups frozen fruit.  I ran out of peaches so I added in the mixed berries!
1 packet of Peaches N Cream Fiber drink ( does not cause cramping of Diarrhea)  and Yes, One packet instant peaches N cream OATMEAL!    I did all that and tasted it.  Smooth and thick the way I like it.  If you like them to have more liquid then do less Frozen fruit.
 Now you have your fruit, how about vegetables!  Add in a large handful of Spinach!  You wont even taste it.

 Kid tested, my son drank the whole 4 oz I have him and asked for more!






I recommend not having more than one a day and preferable one every other day.

1)  Peach Smoothie
3/4 cup vanilla yogurt.
1 1/2 cup frozen peaches
1/2 package of Advocare Peaches n Cream Fiber drink
1 cup almond milk




This recipe makes 3 small serving sizes.  Smaller serving sizes are better to decrease sugar intake from yogurt and helps to get enough to satisfy without filling your belly to the max.  Good food is good to have but too much at one time is never good no matter how much you're eating.  Learn to satisfy your cravings with out over indulging and feeling too full.


This smoothie is like any other but with some added GREENS.   
  1. 3/4 cup Yogurt
  2. 1 cup frozen fruit
  3. 1 banana
  4. 1 cup spinach

The best part is that you wont even notice the taste being any different, only the color.  Try it!

Green Smoothie







Smoothie
I have been adding my Fiber Drink to oatmeal instead of drinking it.
However, today I decided to make it a smoothie.

I added about a 1-2 cups frozen strawberries, 1 banana, almond milk if you have it (6-8oz) or Diet Splash (this is what I used), and Fiber Drink.
It made two cups. I drank one for breakfast and will drink one later.

If you're just looking to make a great smoothie

1 cup or to taste-Activia Yogurt is my favorite.
1-2 cups frozen strawberries or other fruit
1-2 bananas, depending on the size
Liquid:Milk or Diet splash 4-8oz or orange juice (light OJ would be best)



Fruity Smoothie
