Lavash Pizza

~Super quick recipe~

This pizza is balanced in macronutrients, with a higher protein content than traditional pizza thanks to the combination of goat cheese and mozzarella. Using lavash as a base significantly reduces calories compared to standard pizza dough, making it a healthier, lighter alternative without compromising on taste. Of course you can swap ingredients for your preferred toppings. 

Ingredients & Benefits

1. Lavash flatbreads – Light, crisp, and lower in calories than traditional dough; whole-wheat options provide extra fiber.
2. Tomato sauce – Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C; adds natural sweetness and acidity.
3. Spinach – Packed with iron, vitamins A, C, and K, and antioxidants.
4. Mushrooms – Low-calorie, high in fiber, and rich in B vitamins.
5. Red onion – Adds flavor and antioxidants.
6. Cherry tomatoes – High in vitamin C and lycopene for heart and skin health.
7. Crumbled cheese (goat cheese or feta) – Adds protein, calcium, and tangy flavor.
8. Mozzarella cheese – Creamy texture and additional protein.
9. Kalamata olives – Healthy fats and a briny, savory flavor.
10. Olive oil – Heart-healthy fats; drizzling enhances flavor and texture.
11. Dried oregano & fresh basil – Herbs for aroma, flavor, and added antioxidants.
