Cherry Tomato Pesto Pizza with Cauliflower Crust

You probably just finished a lovely weekend full of cheesy real pizza and now we’re trying to start this week off with a cauliflower crust. I get that this might feel like a big jump. There’s no hiding the fact that this pizza is healthy but trust me, knowing this pizza is actually good for you is a big part of it’s charm when it tastes so. dang. good.

When doing our Sugar-Free March Challenge we wanted to test to see if gluten was a problem for us. That set some limits on our diet but our hunger got the best of us. In trying out new and different gluten-free foods, this pizza came to life.

When you’re on a sugar-free, gluten-free cleanse, you must indulge in the ways that you can. Start by enjoying the freshest, most beautiful organic produce around.

Also indulge by:

Buying the bracelet and shoes during the online J Crew sale.

Enjoy those “special occasion” candles and make the night special just because.

Stay up way past bedtime to catch up on Nashville. 

Eat pizza! Indulge with delicious, cheesy pizza… in whatever fashion.

This healthful pizza came out to be a very delicious thing, despite the non-traditional ingredients. Cauliflower crust isn’t just for sugar-free cleanses and gluten-free eaters. It’s actually delicious and a super clever way to eat more veggies. In keeping with pizza traditions and to help hide the fact that we’re eating extra cauliflower, we added mozzarella cheese, fresh basil and juicy tomatoes. Nothing could go wrong here!

This pizza is where good meets healthy meets indulgent. It’s got that lovely carb texture from the crust, creamy, flavorful pesto and juicy cherry tomatoes. We like to use almond cheese when we can but any good mozzarella will do the trick. You’ll enjoy this treat because you’ll know you’re feeding yourself extra well with healthy, nutritious ingredients. It’s fresh, it’s healthy and it makes you feel just vibrate! Which is convenient, because it also leaves you ready for dessert.

Be wild and finish this pizza with Chewy Chocolate Brownies or Vegan Lemon Coconut Bars or maybe Homemade Snicker Bars. Let’s indulge!
