Lower in calories, higher in nutrients, protein, and fiber, Portobello mushrooms are a great replacement for that frozen, store-bought pizza dough. They are an excellent source of selenium which is an important mineral for optimal antioxidant activity, and their polysaccharide and beta-glucan components show anti-cancer properties.
These are fast and easy to make and you can change the toppings to meet your likes and dietary restrictions.
Ingredients:
4 large Portobello mushrooms
6 ounces on mozzarella, almond or tapioca cheese
2 chopped slices of bacon

1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1 tbsp of chopped basil
Salt & pepper
Olive oil
