I think of dieting, then I eat pizza
Alright so today is pizza day and boy do I have a recipe for you low carbers to add to your low carb diet plan. I first tried this at my sisters house again and I couldn’t believe how good it tasted. It was a little bit too much on the fat side for me but it still had way less carbs and fat than regular pizza and for you low carbers this will be a dream come true for those days that you are craving pizza. I have to say I was really surprised when I found out that the crust actually had whey protein in it, I didn’t even think you could do anything other than mix whey protein with water or milk let alone put it in pizza crust. When I think of whey protein, the word shake comes to mind right away but after this its PIZZA!
I have to warn you though this thing has loads of cheese in it so for those of you that love cheese then today is your lucky day because this pizza has more cheese than France in it.
So I could go on and on about this recipe but i guess you have to try it for yourself and let me know what you think.

Absolutely freakin delicious! I have to admit when I first saw the ingredients, especially the whey, I thought, ‘no thank you’ but I’m very glad I gave it the benefit of the doubt. I had a bit of a problem rolling the dough out between the two sheets of parchment paper but once I got the hang of it, it was quite easy. I can definitely recommend this one. Thank you for this!
Hi Michael,
I’m happy to hear that you liked it. The whey is a strange ingredient to have in pizza but it all works out quite well.
Hi Hamada,
This recipe looks easy enough to prepare and definitely sounds like a must-try meal. We love pizza and it has to be one of the hardest things to give up when you have to go on a low carb diet. Maybe we don’t have to give it up 🙂 We’re excited to try this. Thanks very much for the info.
