Flat Bread Pizza

Hiya!

I know things have been slow on the blog, I apologise for that. Lots of changes have been made to my daily routine, still trying to adjust.

There’s a lot of buzz about losing weight as is with January of every year. The latest term is #fitfam 😀 great motivational word, I’m for eating healthy, delicious and healthy. Though not going all #fitfam crusade but todays recipe is a healthy option, an all time favourite- pizza but with less calories than your regular pizza.

Eating an apple a day is one of my day to day routine that I don’t even think about it, I just do it. Recently, I started making fruit smoothies on a weekly basis. Mostly a combination of pineapple,  watermelon and cucumber.  In December,  my Mum inlaw made a similar juice then added garlic and ginger, it was simply delicious! I hardly remember to add that to mine, a friend told me that fruits loose their vitamins once juiced so should be drunk immediately,  while this is true, living in a place like Lagos and having the erratic power supply in Nigeria makes it impossible to maintain a certain kind of lifestyle.  So the only option of having fruits on a daily basis is to juice/blend and then store in small bottles, this means risking losing some vitamins but on the bright side, the fibre content and most the minerals stays intact. Recently in order to retain as many vitamins as possible,  I add orange juice and a little lemon juice. I will do a post on that soonest so no worries.

Today however,  I’m sharing our New Years day meal. I have made a similar pizza with pita bread used popularly for sharwarma, made with chicken and yellow bell peppers,  also with less calories than regular pizza, this ones made with beef, a simple lean mozzarella pizza, which has a thin crisy crust when it’s done. It was part of what we enjoyed during the holidays, today I share it with us, enjoy!
