Lunch – Vegan Pizza

We tend to think of pizza as an unhealthy indulgence. But it doesn’t have to be that way! With a few tweak your pizza can turn into a healthy meal.

A lot of people may be skeptical about using a vegan cheese, and it can take a little bit of getting used to. But if you’ve ever tried the oven fired pizzas in our LivingWell Bistro then you know that a vegan cheese can actually be quite good!

Let us know what you think in the comments (even if you’re not a fan).

Ingredients

4 each (6- 8 inch) Whole wheat Pita Slices
1 jar prepared pizza sauce (look for an option with no added sugar)
8 oz. bag Daiya Cheese
½ cup of your favorite veggies (mushrooms, peppers, olives, etc.) Share your favorite combination below.
Fresh basil for topping

Preparation

Pre heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread pizza sauce on pita, sprinkle on cheese and toppings and cook pizza for 5- 10 minutes or until crust crispy and cheese is melted.
