Sami’s Bakery Millet & Flax Crust Pizza

IMG_2793Happy Vegan Pizza Day everyone!!!! This is my third favorite holiday following my childrens’ birthdays, so I am excited! Last year, I celebrated with a lovely vegan pizza from Skinny Pizza in Roslyn Heights, New York.

This year I will be celebrating at Three Brother’s Pizzeria located in Farmingdale, New York (formerly located in Rockville Center, New York). However, my recommendation for this year’s Vegan Pizza Day is a healthy, no oil pizza made with Sami’s Bakery Hand Made & Brick Oven Baked Millet & Flax Pizza Crust. I read about this healthy whole grain pizza recipe on the website Happy Healthy Long Life. The pizza’s ingredients are based on product recommendations from Dr. & Mrs. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr., so how could you possibly go wrong with this choice?

This vegan pizza crust must be purchased on the website of Sami’s Bakery, so you will not be able to make it today unless you already have it. However, I have read many rave reviews about this crust on several vegan food websites, and it appears to be a real winner! I feel compelled to share it with you on this special holiday. In fact, I just ordered 5 crusts which, apparently, will stay good in the freezer for up to one month. Take a look at its nutritional profile. No fat, no sugar, no cholesterol, no oils, and high fiber!

Water sauté 4 cups of Lacinto kale in a pan and then mix with the tomato sauce. This is a great way to get greens in your diet!

On top of that, add some Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts from a water-packed can, roasted red peppers from a jar, and sun-dried tomatoes. You could opt to add some crumbled Field Roast Grain Meat “Italian Sausage,” but this would add fat to the pizza (I prefer the no-fat alternative).

Bake in the oven until everything is heated through, and voila!

My favorite oil-free mushroom marinara sauce would also be excellent on this pizza crust! Click here for the recipe.
