PITTA PIZZA - MACRO FRIENDLY RECIPES
This Pitta Pizza is one of my absolute favourite recipes at the moment - mostly because it's so customisable, quick and oh, delicious.
Pitta Pizzas are a quick and easy alternative to normal pizza, with the added bonus of being handmade, and macro-friendly! You can recreate your favourite takeaway pizza or just freestyle your own quick and easy, macro-friendly pizza!
All you need is a pitta, cheese, and toppings - then you simply top, grill and enjoy!
I served mine with side salad, but you can serve it with almost anything! These pizzas go amazingly with a side of garlic bread, or roasted vegetables!
What you'll need for my tomato and mushroom pitta pizza:
1 Pitta
60g Grated Mozzarella (can use vegan alternative)
1 mushroom
2 tomatoes
Any other toppings you desire.
Some other toppings ideas: (aka my favourites)
Olives
Sweet peppers
Onions
Jalapenos
Pineapple
Broccoli
Veggie sausages
Veggie Peperami
Spinach
METHOD
1) Warm up the pitta in the grill very lightly
2) Top pitta with grated cheese and vegetables - I do one layer cheese, then vegetables, and then top with more cheese.
3) Grill for a few minutes until cheese melts and crisps at the edges - keep an eye on it and remove at your desired crispiness!
4) Remove from grill, plate up and enjoy!
Long time no see.
Today I'm back with a new little series of recipes - starting with my single-serve chocolate protein mug cake! I have a huge sweet tooth and as much as I love indulging in food, sometimes I'm looking for food that tastes indulgent but fits within my macros and aligns with my fitness goals.
This is where my macro-friendly recipes will come in - it's a series of my favourite recipes that are macro-friendly, easy to make and taste absolutely delicious - there are no compromises on taste here! If you too want to feed your sweet tooth and not compromise on your fitness goals you are in the right place! I'm so excited to start sharing these and hope you are too!
CHOCOLATE PROTEIN MUG CAKE
This protein rich chocolate mug cake is 100% my go-to when I'm craving something indulgent but want something wholesome and protein-rich at the same time! It tastes like a chocolatey banana cake, is high in protein, quick and made from simple household ingredients! Wins all round!
INGREDIENTS
1 egg
1 mashed banana
1 scoop chocolate protein powder (I use Awesome Supplements Choc salted caramel)
1 tsp cocoa powder
½ tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
METHOD
- Mash the banana and mix with the egg.
- Then add in the protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, sweeter, and salt.
- Mix until smooth
- Put in the microwave to cook for 2-4 mins depending on the power of your microwave.
TIPS
I find microwaving for 2 mins gives a softer and fluffier consistency, whereas 3-4 minutes gives a firmer consistency.
I prefer mine microwaved for about 4 minutes, as I prefer it firmer and find it has a more chocolatey taste.
Depending on your protein powder and sweet tooth level (mine is strong) you can also add a bit of sweetener.
I use vegan protein for this recipe, however, if you're using whey protein I'd recommend adding a bit of water or milk to add some moisture, as I found whey makes the recipe quite dry.
