…sorry, Mom, it’s for the good o’ the blaugh.

Some of you might be getting ready to celebrate St. Patty’s day with some green beer or some green eggs and ham. I’ll be making this amazing green-high-protein pizza crust. Let’s call it the…

Lean Green Pizza Machine

From the Kitchen of Krista Schaus (modified ever-so-slightly by Joanna O’Sutter)

• 1/2 cup egg whites
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup ground flax
• 1/3 cup brown rice, pea or hemp protein powder (I went all the whey and used vanilla Protein Freeze)
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp hot pepper flakes
• 1 cup spinach

Combine ingredients in a blender until smooth. Cook like a pancake by pouring the mixture in a pan coated with Pam Olive Oil. Cook over medium to medium-high heat until bubbles appear and it starts to cook through. Flip and cook the other side. Cool completely. Cover your green crust with your favorite green pizza toppings and bake on a pizza pan or stone for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees. Makes one serving.

You can thank your lucky charms and Krista for this great tasting, low carb, high fiber, and St. Patrick’s day approved pizza crust.

Now I really must go have another slice of pizza and get ready to Irish you a happy St. Patrick’s Day!
