Meal 1. Tofu-Based Pizza

If you miss pizza on your low-carb diet, then you’re going to love this.

You may just find it tastes even better — without the unhealthy ingredients many pizza varieties include.

This recipe is easy to modify, and you can add any low-carb ingredients you want — vegetables, mushrooms, different cheeses, and so on.

Ingredients: Tofu, onions, vegetarian bacon (e.g. tempeh, salmon rashers), salsa, spices, garlic powder, and shredded cheese.

Instructions:

1. Finely chop your onions and cut some of the ‘bacon’ into small slices.
2. Mix the tofu, salsa, onions, spices, and garlic powder at the bottom of a baking dish.
3. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and cover with additional ‘bacon’ slices
4. Place in the oven and heat at 180-200°C (360–395°F) for 30–40 minutes, until the ‘bacon’ and cheese look crunchy.

Options:

1. Add a can of peeled diced tomatoes, Mexican style, to the mixture.
2. Add some finely cut cauliflower florets, or any other low-carb vegetable, to the mixture.
3. Put the cheese on top after 30 minutes.
