Fit Fruit Pizza



Hello Fitness Friends! Today we are going to take two amazing foods and put them together into the best skinny indulgence to date! We are taking clean fruits and pizza and making a fruit pizza! I know what you’re thinking….weird right? WRONG! Haha! This is a popular dish to pass where I grew up, I just made some major adjustments to make it very low sugar and low carb. Remember clean eating is the key but it doesn’t have to be boring ! This recipe is quick, easy and the best part is you can enjoy it right away…no waiting! Ok now it’s time to hit the kitchen and whip up a Deliciously Skinny Treat!

Skinny Grocery List:

Pizza Topping and Spread -

12oz – Reduced Fat Cream Cheese - I know all of us do not have access to a great variety of all natural and organic foods but with Dairy I really couldn't stress going natural more. I go for Horizon's Organic Reduced Fat Cream Cheese - No Fillers!

1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract

½ C Stevia in the Raw - Stevia is your best choice when choosing a sugar substitute – Feel free to add more if you would like it to be sweeter ;)

2 Tbsp. Splenda’s Sugar Free Brown Sugar

½ C Blueberries

½ C Strawberries or Raspberries (Variety is the spice of life ♥)

Pizza Crust-

1 C Almonds - I chose slivered almonds due to Laziness convenience and time management :)

3 Egg Whites

1/4 C Stevia in the Raw

1/4 Tsp. Cinnamon

1/4 Tsp. Vanilla Extract

1/4 Tsp. Sea Salt (you can always sub with table salt)

Non-Stick Spray

Gadgets and Tools:

Blender

Mixer with Whisk and Beater attachments

Pie Pan - Glass Pan is perfect!

Spatula

Measuring Spoons

Measuring Cup

2 Mixing Bowls

I Prefer to use a Glass Pie Pan


Delicious Directions:

Pull out your cream cheese so it can reach room temperature and soften 

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees

In your blender place Almonds, Stevia, Cinnamon and Salt - Blend until coarse

9) Batter Looks Like So ;) 10) Make sure to get all the Batter
11) Add to Greased Pan 12) Bake on Middle Rack 8-10 Min


Spray pan with non-stick spray and pour in our batter spreading evenly

Bake on the middle rack for 8-10 Minutes (9 was perfect for me!)

Crust should come out firm with a little give, just like a soft cookie :)

First stir with your Spatula so it is combined
1) Combine all Ingredients 2) Stir with Spatula First
