taeste and tell: homemade lite pizza
Happy Saturdaaay!! For today's edition of Taeste and Tell I wanted to share with you guys a craving crusher!! A lot of people fall off of their program due to craving junk foods like pizza and burgers. The way I deal with staying on track AND getting to indulge sometimes is with "lite" cheat meals.
These are the healthiest versions of yummy cheat meals that I can possibly make! So I can feel good about getting a little taeste (see what i did there?) while also knowing that I'm not falling off of the wagon. Also, since I eat according to my macronutrients, this particular food is a perfect "cheat" because I can fulfill my macros in a tasty way!
So here's the recipe for my homemade lite pizza!:)

This pizza is DELICIOUS and super filling! I can actually never finish a whole pizza! And it only has 2g of saturated fat!! Compare that to a small Domino's pizza (MY FAV) which has 21g of saturated fat!!
So if you're craving Domino's or Papa Johns or Pizza Hut...try this recipe out and crush that craving without crushing your fitness progress!!
