let’s discuss the health benefits

of

pizza now

is it possible to

have some health benefits from pizza yes

but you have to do the healthy version

of a pizza okay a keto pizza which i’m

going to give you the recipe now my

favorite food of all time is pizza i’ve

eaten a lot of pizza and i remember

growing up feeling so bloated when i

would eat the entire pizza i’d feel

sluggish and tired but i didn’t care

because the taste was so delicious so

fast forward when i started keto in low

carb

i wasn’t willing to give up pizza so i

searched out a really good recipe and i

did a video on pizza and i will put that

down below but i’m going to give you a

summary of that video today but what

would be the health benefits

of pizza well

if you do the version i’m going to

recommend you’re going to go low carb

okay and when you go low carb you’re

going to actually lower your insulin

when you lower your insulin you’re going

to lose weight you’re going to lose fat

on your liver you’ll have cognitive

benefits your mood will be better you’ll

have less blood sugar issues and less

cravings

and overall you’re going to feel really

good so it is possible

to have your cake and eat it too when

we’re talking about pizza there’s a lot

of other foods that you can also eat if

you modify the recipes now a healthy

pizza is all about the ingredients and

the

most unhealthy part of a pizza is in the

crust because they normally use

wheat flour okay so this recipe is going

to be using cauliflower cauliflower can

mimic a starch okay

it’s used in a lot of keto foods and

it’s a very neutral food it goes with a

lot of other foods you can do

cauliflower rice cauliflower pizza crust

you can do cauliflower mashed potatoes

there’s a lot of different recipes and

if you add

the right combinations of things it’s

pretty darn close to the unhealthy

version

cauliflower is part of the cruciferous

family it has a lot of phytonutrients

and it has good amount of vitamin c

folate b12 b6 and cauliflower is pretty

low in carbs and definitely low in sugar

and high in fiber so i’m going to make

this very very simple and i’m also going

to tell you

a very big mistake to avoid when you

make this cauliflower pizza okay

the key is making the crust correctly

okay so

you’re going to get a bowl and you’re

going to combine two cups of cauliflower

shredded all right of course i’m going

to recommend organic cauliflower then

add two eggs the whole eggs of course

i’m going to recommend pasture raised

organic eggs okay not pasteurized eggs

pasture raised eggs and then two cups of

mozzarella cheese okay you can grate

that

and of course

definitely organic and as you’re making

the material for the crust preheat the

oven to 425 degrees

then what you’re going to do is you’re

going to mix it all up really nicely and

get some parchment paper and form this

pizza crust okay and i usually put the

parchment paper on a cutting board okay

then what i’m going to do is i’m going

to take the entire cutting board with

the parchment paper and the pizza crust

that’s going to go in the oven okay

after it’s been

preheated and then i’m going to very

carefully

transport

the parchment paper part not the cutting

board but the paper with the pizza crust

into the oven okay so in other words do

not put the topping of the pizza

on the crust

as the first

heating

phase okay

you want to cook the crust

first

then pull it out then put the topping on

then put it back in the oven and we’ve

made this mistake in the past where we

puddle this material on the crust and

then stick in the oven

and it never comes out that good it’s

all soggy and you cannot cook the crust

in the top material at the same rate

because they

the top’s going to burn

and the bottom crust just needs more

time to cook now there’s a couple

options with spices you can

bake the spices into the crust which is

might be a good idea or you can add that

on later but if you do you can add a

half a teaspoon of garlic half a

teaspoon of oregano and half a teaspoon

of

basil and then you can

put some sea salt on it some pepper

some other spices that you like so

sometimes i will bake this into the

crust sometimes i won’t and as this

pizza crust is cooking um a minimum time

of cooking is going to be about 10

minutes but i would check it at 10

minutes because it might need 12

up to 15 minutes in the oven okay you

want to cook it until it’s just slightly

browned then you’re going to take it out

of the oven okay put it back on that

cooking board and then wait till it

cools off a little bit and then you can

start adding your toppings so i put a

low sugar type tomato sauce okay i’ll

put that first

then i will put a layer of grated

mozzarella cheese then i will put either

sausage or pepperoni sometimes i like to

cut a tomato in little chunks and put

that on the pizza maybe with some

olives and maybe even mushrooms so

whatever topping you like go ahead and

put that on the top of that crust and

put it back in the oven okay for another

10 to 12

minutes until the crust turns slightly

brown pull it out let it cool off and

you are ready for a delicious pizza now

since keto has

became very popular there everyone in

their brother is making keto

products okay including the cauliflower

crust and there’s one company that i’ve

used in the past that i really really

like

and it’s called

the kibosh version now i don’t get any

kickbacks or i have no affiliation with

this company

but when i see a good product with good

ingredients i recommend it so check out

these ingredients you got cauliflower

mozzarella cheese we got cheese culture

egg almond flour coconut flour

flaxseed meal cream of tartar and baking

soda so i really appreciate companies

that don’t add all these additional

unfriendly keto ingredients and so if

you don’t have time to make the crust

something like this is a great option

i’ve also used this to make lasagna and

it’s actually quite delicious now let’s

compare

that crust

with some of the other popular

versions of a cauliflower crust like

newman’s own the first ingredient is

corn starch then they add rice flour and

then tapioca starch another brand name

is great value

rice flour corn starch tapioca starch

and then we have rustic they had wheat

flour potato starch and then caulipower

they had rice flour cornstarch twice and

the tapioca starch you don’t want a

cauliflower crust with these ingredients

under the name of keto friendly or even

low carb i mean some of these have like

29 carbohydrates that’s just for a

serving size this whole crust only has

three grams of carbs so in summary there

is a way to have both

healthy and delicious at the same time

but you have to make sure that the

ingredients are healthy if you’re buying

crusts at the store now if you haven’t

seen my pizza recipe video this was a

long time ago i created it so the

quality’s not great i’m going to put

that up right here check it out
