The Protein Pizza!

Hashtag Pizza is Life. Hashtag National Pizza Month!

I own more pizza paraphernalia than should be allowed. Seriously. I have pizza socks, a pizza necklace, a pizza pool float (I do not have a pool), and copious pizza t-shirts.

That being said, I actually don't eat pizza all too often but when The Protein Pizza sent me some to try, I was excited to try the cheesy goodness.

This pizza is made with real, Non-GMO ingredients like real cheese, olive oil, and a crust made with whey protein isolate. The entire pizza (about 8 in) has 40 grams of protein! The pizza is pretty hefty so I probably won't be eating the entire pizza at once but it is still a decent dose of protein in half of the cheese pizza.

I popped in the oven and gave it a try! I also added some Italian seasoning because I like to get fancy!
Before the Oven!
I baked the pizza for about 9 minutes (the instructions directed to bake it for 8-10 minutes). Then I snapped a few pictures and dug in. The pizza tasted pretty good. I'll be honest, it didn't compare to Italy, duh. In my opinion, it tasted like a frozen pizza. I didn't notice anything weird or off-putting as a result of the protein so I would say it was pretty successful. I'm also a fan of pepperoni so I would have enjoyed that option as well. Another thing to note is that my cheese was cold. I was told by the company that I should bake it until the cheese shreds don't look like shreds, so it's possible I undercooked it and then it cooled even more as I snapped the pictures. The cheese was delicious, the crust was thick and the sauce had a light sweetness to it.

Overall, I would like it to have a more complex flavor profile and I will have to try cooking it longer next time, however, for a frozen protein pizza, it's pretty good. 

Cheese please!
What's your opinion on frozen pizza versus pizza chains? I've always preferred chains to a Digornios lol!

Product Review: Tru Fru

Image
If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

Must Read List

Have you been spending more time at home? Have you finished your entire list on Netflix? If the answer to these is Yes, you might be looking for some ways to fill your time. I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul. It touches on mental health, feminism and more all while being extremely readable, imo.  Lived Up to the H ype:  The Fault in Our Stars John Green is a master story-teller and this book lived up to the hy
