Portobello Mushroom Pizza with Arugula Pesto

Written by:
Guest Writer

I don't know about you, but I actually love having PIZZA this way versus how we traditionally eat it. It's fun because you can explore and change it up easily using the ingredients you love. I'm a SPICY kind of gal so I love to smash JALAPENO'S on anything when given the chance! The Arugula Pesto on this one is easy to make and tastes AWESOME! Sunflower seeds contain selenium, an essential nutrient. Studies have found it plays a role in antioxidant function and helps reduce inflammation. It also helps with thyroid hormone metabolism. Portobello mushrooms are balanced in protein and carbs, they are low in fat and contain a high amount of fiber.

Enjoy!
