High protein PIZZA base! (Sweet or savoury)

Yes, I've created a recipe for a healthy pizza. Now this one is a sweet pizza, purely because I didn't have unflavoured whey, but I will get into that later. This post is going to be me showing you how to make a high protein pizza base. Believe me, this was one of the best things I've tasted in a while, oh and it looked fab!

Ok so firstly, you will need the following;

1 Egg
1 Egg white
1 Scoop chocolate whey protein powder (I used True Whey from +Myprotein)
15g Oats
1 tbsp of coconut oil (I used Lucy Bee coconut oil)

Step 1;
Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and add the coconut oil. Create a well, and add the eggs. Mix well until all the ingredients have come together.

Step 2;
Place the mixture into a pan on medium heat (like a giant pancake). I added a drizzle of oil to prevent it sticking.

Step 3;

When the base can hold its shape, take out and place onto tin foil. Add your toppings (I went with a combination of my favourite fruit)

Step 4;

Place under a hot grill until your fruit has caramelised to perfection!

Step 5; 

Now no sweet treat of mine would be complete without a big dollop of Total Greek yoghurt!

Step 6;

ENJOY!

This pizza base is meant to serve 2. So per serving the nutritional information looks like this;

Calories - 180

Protein - 16g

Carbs - 4g

Fat - 10g

Now some of you may look at this and think 10g fat, but don't stress at all, these HEALTHY fats come from the coconut oil which has been proven to help reduce "bad" cholesterol, improve brain, skin and bone health while helping the body absorb vitamins A, D, E and K

You'll also notice it is high in protein and low carb, and at only 180 calories per serving you can not go wrong!

Now if you would like to do this for a savoury pizza, just swap the flavoured protein powder for unflavoured. Then use tomato puree mashed with basil and garlic as the base spread. Top with your favourite toppings and either low fat mozzarella cheese or feta cheese and grill.

I hope you enjoy and let me know how it goes!
