Ingredients

  • ½ cup quinoa Cooked.
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes Optional.
  • 1 Tbsp dried basil

Topping Ideas

  • ½ cup Betr Marinara substitute 1 can organic tomato paste, no sugar or salt added.
  • ½ tomato Sliced.
  • 2 leaves fresh basil
  • ¼ yellow onion Sliced or chopped.
  • ½ fresh jalapeno pepper Seeded and sliced.
  • ¼ bell pepper Chopped.
  • 1 cup fresh spinach Chopped.
  • ½ cup lean grass fed organic ground beef Cooked.
  • ½ cup organic chicken breast Cooked and chopped

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400° F.
  • Mix quinoa with egg whites. Add onion powder, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, and basil.
  • Lay down parchment paper. Cover parchment paper with flax-meal to prevent sticking. Smear quinoa dough into a circle, or pop it into cupcake molds for Pizza Bites.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, chop veggies, and make your sauce. Level 1 Betr Marinara is perfect for this.
  • Pop out the dough, and add your toppings. Bake for another 5-10 minutes to cook your veggies. Enjoy to the MAX!
  • The recipe above is perfect for level one. I would love to see how creative you all can get with the toppings! Please note, mushrooms are not on level 1. I originally made this video for Level 2 – but realized that no one needs to live without pizza for 21 days.

Level 2 Variations

    Days 1-2 Veggies:

    • mushrooms
    • Broccoli
    • And a nutritional supplement called “B12 Flakes” that add a nutty cheesy taste.

    Day 8 All Proteins:

    • Add some chicken atop this gloriously easy pizza crust!

    Day 11 Healthy Fats:

    • Add our Betr Queso! This is in the recipe video. When I had a pizza party to taste our pizzas, these little Quinoa Queso bites won – even over the pizza with cheese.

    Day 17 Dairy:

    • Add that organic grass-fed cheese!

      I think I want to try this recipe with shakshuka as the sauce instead of the marinara. Must be super tasty!!

      This is delicious!! I roasted the tomatoes in the oven before adding them as a topping. And don’t forget the cottage cheese!

      I was hesitant about the crust but it held together really well. I would use less red pepper next time but it was actually deliciously filling and my husband liked it as well!
