The pizziest vegan (no added oil) pizza
For the days you crave a proper pizza (but plant-based)
So we all have days when all the “healthy” versions of food just don’t cut it. You crave what you crave and are ready to take prisoners to get it.
No need to knead
This is deliberately a no kneed recipe, since who has the time or the nails for that amirite.
Foods are valued depending on what you compare them to
What makes this pizza a little bit more health promoting that the usual recipes?
First of all it is plant-based, which inherently makes it a far better choice (more on this in other posts).
Second of all we tweaked the ingredients a bit to make it more nutrient dense.
Improvements made:
- swapping white flour with whole grain spelt flour
- eliminating adding oil to our recipe, drastically reduces the fat content
- Introducing more protein with adding tofu
- using whole food ingredients
- swapping cow cheese for vegan i.e. plant-based cheese
- adding rocket as the topping when plating
Very important tip to balancing your meals
Balancing your meals to make them more nutrient dense, help with satiety, and fiber intake.
SOUP
Soup to begin your meal is always an improvement in water, fiber, and nutrient intake. Make any soup you like and help with satiety before you dig into the pizza, so you can fully enjoy every bite.
SALAD
A great salad can balance out any meal. In our case we add it for variety of nutrients, and to improve the fiber content of the meal. We suggest an abundant green salad with all the fun veggies you like to add color and taste.
If you don’t want it to take away from your pizza experience – just eat it before hand, after the soup or instead of it.


Be creative
Explore your palate and all the ways you can make this dish more balanced, nutritious and delicious. Try introducing more ingredients like vegetables, legumes, seeds, nuts, herbs.
