nutrition recipe Aug 15, 2019

READY FOR A RECIPE THAT’S GOING TO TOTALLY REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR IDEA OF PIZZA? BEHOLD MY HEALTHY GRANOLA FRUIT PIZZA.

This sweet little pie packs a flavorful, nutritious punch of salty and sweet that’ll leave you feeling totally satisfied. It’s greek yogurt, peanut butter, granola, chia seeds, and fruit provides the PERFECT combination of carbs, healthy fats and a whole lot of PROTEIN. Oh, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, it does because it takes only 15 mins to make!

You’ll need a medium to large round pizza or cake pan like this one. I personally love this 12″ circular pan, because the edges keep the granola crust tight and in place! You can also make Mini Granola Fruit Pizza Bites (pictured below) and for those you’d need a large muffin pan and muffin tins. Then grab a large mixing bowl, a strainer, cutting board, knife and a flexible spatula.

Start by prepping your fruit of choice! I’ve tried many combinations – one being a tropical fruit pizza with kiwi, strawberries, and pineapple and it was delicious! Or you can keep it simple and use the ingredients I’ve used here! My point – this recipe can be whatever you make it. Switch it up depending on what you have on hand, the party you’re attending or the season.

Peel trim and rinse fruit. Then set aside.

Now, you need to make your crust!

In your large mixing bowl combine your granola, chia seeds, toasted coconut, cinnamon and peanut butter. Stir until all of the granola is coated with the peanut butter, and then press the granola crust firmly into the pan or muffin cups. ***If you’re making the large Granola Fruit Pizza I recommend using parchment paper. Simply cut it into a circle that’s slightly larger than your pan and lay it on the bottom before adding in your granola.

Time to set your crust by chilling it in the freezer for 15 mins.

While your crust is setting, in a small bowl, (or honestly I just mix it right in the plastic container), mix your vanilla extract and stevia into your greek yogurt! Greek yogurt is definitely the best choice for this recipe! It’s thicker and will keep a nice base for the fruit to stay in place. PLUS it loaded with protein! A win, win!

It’s time for toppings!

Remove your chilling crust from the freezer and spread your vanilla greek yogurt over the entire surface of the crust.

Add your healthy choice of fruit toppings – make it look pretty.

AND ENJOY!
