Method

Base

  1. Preheat oven to 200C // 400F
  2. Whisk the eggs with the Greek yogurt until well combined
  3. Whisk in the remaining ingredients until smooth and well combined
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  5. Oil the parchment paper a bit to ensure the pizza doesn’t stick
  6. Spread the mixture onto the paper (the thinner the better, but be sure there are no holes). We went with a traditional round shape but rectangle or square is also fine
  7. Bake the crust for 15 minutes on the bottom rack of your oven

Pesto

  1. Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend leaving it slightly textured and chunky.
  2. Remove from blender
  3. Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 1 week

Topping

  1. Spread the pizza w/ pesto and carefully layer the remaining toppings on top
  2. See ours photographed to sense an idea for layering
  3. Bake for another 8-10 minutes (on the bottom rack of your oven) until the toppings are cooked/melted
Breakfast

Lunch

Macadamia Moon Loaf

Adapted from the My New Roots Life Changing Bread, this loaf will be a staple in your life – You’re WELCOME! 
It is super simple to make and contains a variety of nuts and seeds that act as both healthy fats and quality protein – by noshing on this bread, you’ll be actively supporting your blood sugar levels and the ripple effect of that is like a hug to hormones, sleep, energy and so much more.

Lunch

Loaded Veggie Pasta

Use the pasta base as a foundation to add in whatever seasonal veggies you have in your fridge. Think: Diced eggplant, chopped tomatoes, broccoli, green beans

Snack

Taro Fries

A golden batch of taro fries is an excellent source of dietary fiber and good carbohydrates, which both improve the function of your digestive system.
