It’s Super Bowl week!! While none of our teams are in the big game 🙁 many of us will still be attending fun super bowl parties! And that means one thing….all the food! And most of the food at those kind of parties is not always the healthiest. You know we’re big on balance here at CrossFit Pineville and RISE Charlotte, so we we’re not going to tell you not to eat any of that crap. What we are going to tell you is a life hack we love for a food we love and still eat in moderation!
Enter Caulipower Pizza Crusts! Cauliflower crust pizzas are great alternatives to the real deal, but can pretty labor intensive to make! I was super pumped with I discovered Caulipower’s premade pizzas at Wal-Mart of all places and then stumbled upon their ready to go pizza crusts at my local Harris Teeter. I like to keep these stocked in my freezer for an easy button meal here and there served along side a bid salad, or in this instance, the perfect dish to share (or not share 😉 ) at a Super Bowl party! One of our tips during our Healthy for the Holidays series was to BYOD: bring your own dish to a party so you know you at least have something healthier to munch on in case there aren’t very many healthy options available. Take a cauliflower crust pizza this Sunday so you can feel like you’re indulging without all the guilt (and bloat!)!
The possibilities are endless as far as toppings go, you can really make it your own! Maybe buffalo chicken with some blue cheese and feta cheese crumbles, bbq chicken and some fresh mozzarella and basil, loaded veggie or meat lovers, or Hawaiian style with some prosciutto, pineapple slices and cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Yum! The recipe below comes from the Caulipower site & sounds like a delicious and spicy way to top your Caulipower crust! Enjoy!
