Most people love to enjoy a slice of hot and cheesy pizza. However, not everyone can enjoy a pizza pie without paying the consequences associated with food intolerances. Pizza combines wheat and dairy, two of the most inflammatory foods that exist, which is often a recipe for trouble.
Fortunately, there is a way in which those of us who avoid grain can enjoy pizza without any distress. This gluten free pizza crust is slightly crunchy, a little bit chewy, and a whole lot tasty.
Gluten Free Pizza Crust
If I’ve learned anything along my health journey (read more about that here), it’s that finding healthier versions of not-so-healthy foods is one of the most important keys to sticking to a real-food lifestyle. If you’ve been visiting this website for any length of time, you know that I am adamant about replacing unhealthy and processed foods with real food alternatives. I know that, from personal experience, simply erasing a food or beverage from your life with no replacement will leave you feeling deprived, hungry, and angry. You can read more about how you can make healthy food swaps and substitutes here.
That said, I’ve found a grain and gluten free pizza crust replacement that has yet to cause me any tummy distress.
