Veggie Pizza Pies
Veggie Pizza Pies ~ Natures Super Foods
Make ‘em big or small.
Your family will love ‘em all!
Plus, they have a ton of flavor while low fat.
This is such a satisfying snack or meal of pizza it's hard to believe they're low fat.
You can load as many veggies onto the muffin as it will hold, and you'll be surprised how much 1/8 c. of shredded mozzarella really is when melted.
And, for a little bit of cell-soothing nutrition, add an extra sprinkle of these zingy flakes to your slice;
Oregano.
That’s right, oregano doesn’t just add pizzazz to your pizza sauce.
It may have the power to prevent tissue-damaging inflammation, too.
It’s Essential
The essential oils in oregano are rife with a substance called (E)-beta-caryophyllene, or (E)-BCP for short.
These compounds bind to certain cell receptors in a way that could mean less inflammation, according to mouse studies.
Good news, since inflammation has been fingered in a bunch of bad health outcomes, from heart disease to cancer.
Researchers suspect (E)-BCP may have a similar inflammation-fighting benefit in humans.
A Little Dash Will Do Ya?
It’s not clear (yet) how much (E)-BCP is in oregano, but surprisingly, the lowest dose of the compound was often the most effective in a recent study.
This is a healthy, guilt-free meal and kids love it, too...at least ours always have!"
