Pizza is notorious among nutrition experts. Of course, classic pizza is an energy bomb, and very unhealthy. Although it’s delicious (and there’s no one who hasn’t ever sinned with an extra serving), it’s not the best way to stay fit.
Does that mean we can never eat pizza again? Of course not! The best thing you can do if you love eating pizza is to look for more nutritious variants.
Swapping white flour for whole wheat flour, and fried tomato and cheese for vegetables can be a very good start.
But if you want a true nutritional bomb, you should try the complete Power Pizza recipe that Buenos Aires Verde proposes.
