Raw nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans), natural peanut butter, apples, bananas, Tuscan kale, frozen fruit, avocados and almond milk. If I had nothing else but these foods to eat, I’d be a happy camper! It also helps to note that these foods are pretty much everything I would need to meet my macro- and micronutrients requirements. You can never underestimate the beauty and balance of nature presented in a sliced apple with a generous dollop of your favorite nut butter. So yummy, healthy, satisfying and nutrient-dense!

Crust 2 cups flour ¾ cup warm water 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp sugar 1 tsp salt ¼ oz yeast ½ tsp thyme Vegan Cheese ½ cup raw cashew, soaked one hour 1½ cups water 3½ tbsp tapioca 2 tbsp nutritional yeast 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder ½ tsp salt Few dashes of black pepper Sauce Pizza sauce Veggie toppings White onion Cherry tomatoes Cremini mushrooms Fresh basil In a bowl, place the warm water, sprinkle yeast and leave until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk

sugar, oil and salt into your mixture and then add the flour and stir using your hands until a sticky dough forms. Transfer to another bowl that has been lightly oiled, then lightly oil the top of the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise for one hour. While your dough is rising, prepare your vegan cheese. Place all the ingredients in a Vitamix or high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a small pot and place over mediumhigh heat. Mix until thickened and sticky, about 10 minutes. Cover with lid. Once dough has risen, split into two pieces (one for each pizza), dust flour onto a clean surface and begin to knead and roll out your dough until the desired thickness of the pizza dough is created. Add flour as you go if it’s too sticky. Dust some cornmeal and a little flour onto a pan or baking stone and form your pizza crust on it. Spread sauce on the surface. Using a spoon, dollop your vegan cheese until partially covering the surface, then top with veggies. Set oven to 400°F. Bake your pizza for 10-15 minutes until crust is golden brown on the edges. Remove from oven, serve hot, enjoy!
