A Seriously Tasty High-Fibre, Low-Calorie Pizza
Here's another pizza classic from Lo-Dough HQ. This one takes earthy mushrooms, sweet beetroot, tender broccoli and salty ham and sits them atop a cheese and tomato pizza. The result is another flavour SMASH... a total lip-smacking treat. Here's the rub: It's as healthy for you as it is tasty. It clocks in at a whopping 14.3g of fibre, 28g of protein and only 14g of carbs and 346 calories. Make it with Lo-Dough and just watch those macros turn in your favour. Lo-Dough on its own contains a massive 9.3g of fibre, so when combined with fibre-rich vegetables such as broccoli and beetroot, you'll find yourself eating approximately half your daily requirement of fibre in one sitting.
