I’m a sucker for Mellow Mushroom, a pizza “chain” (only because they have a few locations in the south) with great beer selection AND great pizza. I actually just took my brother and sister there when they were visiting Orlando. Good times were had, since I hadn’t touched pizza in months (and hadn’t seen the siblings for just as long)!
One of my favorites is their Buffalo Chicken pizza. The problem with that is, like most Buffalo Chicken pizzas, is the amounts of sodium-laden sauce and blue cheese dressing in the recipe. Those two things are deathtraps in the war against obesity, for sure!
That’s why I’m glad Muscle & Fitness came up with this healthier version. Basically, it replaces the usual suspects with their lower sodium/fat counterparts. The only thing I’d change is maybe making the pizza a thing-crust and use a low-carb tortilla or naan bread to control portion size.
If you’re feeling SUPER creative, here a link that teaches how to make a pizza crust out of quinoa, which will give a boost of protein.
Happy cooking!
