Vitamin Pizza


Okay so I know what your thinking, crushing up vitamins and putting it on a pizza is gross. Or maybe you weren't taking it that literally.  But you should be.  Everything you eat should be evaluated for its nutrient content and the benefits you will gain from eating it. 

While i'm not crushing up vitamins and putting them on my pizza, I am putting nutrient rich foods on it. I make a few small changes to make my pizza "healthy".  I say "healthy" because well theres still cheese and carbs this equation but better decisions, no matter how small, can make a big difference.  Swapping fatty processed meats and extreme amounts of cheese for nutrient rich fruits and vegetables is a healthier choice that makes a big differences. 

Moral of the story, if your craving something "bad" opt for a healthier version by making a few small changes.


Here my recipe for Whole Wheat Balsamic Tomato Spinach Pizza and why its better !

Quick, Healthy & Easy 15-Minute Salmon Recipe

Lemon Garlic Salmon over Steamed Spinach

Why it's good for you:
  • Salmon is rich in Omega-3's, which is said to protect against heart disease, periodontitis, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions. Omega-3 essential fatty acid's are also immune boosters, which is something important especially during the winter when it seems much easier to get sick. These fatty acids will help protect you against all those germs floating around.
  • Spinach is a great source of Vitamin A, which also helps support your immune system. (One serving of spinach contains 60% of your daily recommended Vitamin A intake.)
 With that being said here is my QUICK and super EASY recipe- only takes about 15 minutes!
