Everyone loves pizza. However, a single slice of pizza from your favorite pizza delivery restaurant can be loaded with more layers of unhealthy ingredients than you like. Have you ever ordered a pizza and by the time it arrives at your front door, you are ravenous? The first few bites are incredibly satisfying and delicious but before you know it you are uncomfortably full to the point of feeling like a stuffed chicken. Then regret starts to set in. Sound familiar? I’ve done this on more than one occasion.
A healthy diet is about balance. It should leave us energized and satisfied. However, a meal should never leave us feeling guilty or uncomfortably full. Does this mean we have to say goodbye to pizza forever? Pardon my French but hell no! There is another way. By making your own pizza, you are able to control which ingredients are in the pizza as well as the quality and quantity of ingredients. Homemade pizza is a quick and easy way to enjoy a slice of warm, saucy, cheesy pizza as often as you’d like!
