Zucchini Crust Pizza

I'm always looking for healthy meal alternatives and last week I came across Ellen Renee's blog on instagram. She posts a ton of recipes that serve as healthy alternatives to some of your biggest food weaknesses. I love how she posts clean-eating recipes and then also posts things that are just healthier versions of desserts and other traditionally glutinous foods. So after paging through her whole website, I decided the first recipe I'd try would be Zucchini Crust Pizza and it turned out really well!

How to make the crust:
1/4 cup GNC Pro Performance Unflavored 100% Whey Protein Powder
1/2 Tbsp Bob’s Red Mill Ground Flaxseed Meal
Mrs. Dash - Onion & Herb and Italian
1/8 cup of liquid egg whites
2 Tbsp grated raw zucchini


Once the crust is mixed together, spread a few spoonfuls of tomato sauce and then add 1/4 cup of shredded fat free mozzarella cheese. Then cook the pizza in the oven at 425 for 5-8 minutes. The original recipe says 5 minutes but I left it in there a little longer and I was happy with the results.

The best part about this meal is that it's only 155 calories with 2g of fat, 7g of carbohydrates, and 25g of protein :) Give this recipe a try and others on Renee's Website Best Fit Body
