High Protein • Dairy Free • Vegan • Gluten Free
Pizza night just got a whole lot healthier! I made a quick little post on instagram the other day announcing that I have decided to live the vegan lifestyle. It is super exciting to feel the changes in my body from eating such healthy and nutritious foods! It's been a little over a week now and my digestion and energy is fantastic (besides catching a little cold last week).
Annnyway.. I've been playing around with a heap of new recipes to create interesting foods that are completely vegan. I'm not a huge fan of bread so I created a chickpea pizza base last night. It is sooo delicious, crunchy and has high protein!
No need to have just one slice and feel guilty eating pizza anymore..
Heck! Go ahead and eat the whole thing if you wish!
Chickpeas are full of fiber, iron, vitamins & minerals. They also stabilize blood sugar levels and are low GI which is perfect for any weight loss diet.

Ingredients
400g can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
1/4 cup Gluten free oat flour
1 Chia egg (1 tbsp chia seeds with 3 tbsp water)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup water
1 tsp mixed herbs or any spice you like (I used mixed herbs + cumin)
1 tsp melted coconut oil
Instructions
1 Pre-heat your oven to 220 degrees and line a pizza tray
2 Combine all ingredients into a food processor and mix well until a thick smooth batter is formed
3 Place the batter onto your lined pizza tray and spread it out in a circular motion until you get a large round base. Your crust should be about 5mm thick
4 Bake the pizza base for 15-20 minutes. The crust should be dry to touch but not soft
5 Once the base is cooked take it out of the oven and add your favorite toppings! Bake for a further 15 minutes or until your toppings are heated to how you like them.
This recipe can also be made into a crunchy bread
