Pesto Pizza Recipe With Organic Greens Powder

Who doesn’t love pizza? It’s got it all, right? Yummy, gooey, ooey goodness from tip to crunchy crust. But if you’re eating a regular old pizza—you know the kind loaded with processed meat and cheese—you’re not doing your body any favors. How about a pizza makeover with a pesto pizza recipe that includes superfood goodness from organic greens? Yes--a pizza that's actually good for you? 

Yep. This pizza gets a little extra healthy help from a protein and healthy-fat-rich pesto sauce loaded with yummy pumpkin seeds and organic greens powder. You can use a single ingredient greens (like wheatgrass powder or spirulina), or you can use a combo such as our very own mustHave greens powder, which boasts a healthy and delicious blend of oat and alfalfa grass, spirulina, chlorella, and kale.

Pesto Pizza Recipe With Organic Greens Powder

Makes one large pizza

Ingredients

Whole wheat pizza crust (or homemade crust of your choice)
Pumpkin-seed pesto recipe with organic greens
2 roma tomatoes, sliced
Your favorite pizza toppings such as olives, artichoke hearts, onions, mushrooms and peppers
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
Vegan cheese shreds of choice
Olive oil
More greens powder
Dried oregano and red chili flakes

Directions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a pizza stone or grease a large flat baking sheet.

Stretch out your dough onto your pizza stone or baking sheet and generously apply the pesto sauce over the dough like you would ordinary pizza sauce.

Next, layer the sliced tomatoes and your other pizza toppings of choice. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast, vegan cheese shreds and herbs.

Brush the exposed crust with olive oil.

Bake approximately 15-20 minutes or until cheese melts and crust has risen and is golden in color. Remove from oven and if desired, sprinkle with more greens powder before serving.
