I’m always thinking of ways to eat pizza in an unconventional way. Today the base is a Portobello mushroom. Mushrooms have a dense, meaty texture that does well to replace meat in sandwiches as well as the crust in a pizza. It also holds the pizza toppings in a clean and convenient way. Enjoy!
Pizza made to glow:
Mushrooms: are low in carbohydrates and sodium, are an excellent source of cancer-fighting selenium, reduce blood pressure and risk of stroke, are a good source of B-vitamins, contain tryptophan, which is essential to create vitamin B-3 and helps control sleep pattern and mood swings, help to prevent breast cancer and contain a high amount of antioxidant L-ergothioneine, which is important in protecting from UV and radiation as well as contributing to the liver’s detoxification abilities.
