Tips for Success:

Flavor Profile: This tasty Garden Veggie Flatbread Pizza (Candida Elimination Diet) is packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Freshly chopped Romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and green onions are mixed with a fresh veggie sauce that is both beautiful and delicious! Avocado chunks and green onions top this tasty flatbread pizza that are sure to make your tastebuds sing.
Quinoa Flatbread: Follow the Basic Quinoa Flatbread recipe, except swap out the plant milk for water (equal amount) and add ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Be sure to bake 15 minutes at 425F (preheated oven) and flip, bake for an additional 7 minutes, longer if needed. When spreading out the batter, be sure to spread to a full 11 inches. Spread evenly, watching for thin spots, be sure to get all the batter out of the high-speed blender. Important Note: When flipping the pizza, pull the crust out of the oven and place on the stovetop (or covered counter), slide a spatula underneath the edges of the crust to loosen, then use tongs to flip it over to the other side. It will want to stick but it will come away from the parchment paper easily with a little sliding of the spatula.
Candida Elimination Diet: Candida is an overgrowth of yeast in the body resulting in various health concerns including eczema, fatigue, headaches, hormonal changes, yeast infections, and a host of digestive issues. Eliminating foods that feed the yeast such as sugar, fruit, certain grains like wheat, or anything that feeds yeast like vinegar, refined carbohydrates, etc. must be eliminated from the diet in order to stop feeding the yeast and promote gut healing.
Candida Elimination Diet Flavor Palate: The Candida Elimination Diet removes a number of foods that are generally used to build and enrich flavor. The sauce is delicious for what it is and that is a recipe that works with the foods that are permitted on the Candida Elimination Diet. We just want the Reader to be aware that if you are looking for a fantastic tasting sauce/pizza, this recipe is not going to give you an endorphin high like normal sauces/pizza. It is very tasty for what it is. If you are looking for a rich and satisfying sauce (not part of the Candida Elimination Diet), then search for other sauce/pizza recipes on our website. We have tons of healthy and satisfying sauce/pizza recipes.
Tomatoes/Candida Diet: Tomatoes are generally allowed. They are a non-starchy vegetable, low in sugar, rich in nutrients; however, individuals with severe sensitivities or inflammatory conditions may need to eliminate them from their diet or monitory closely their symptoms. If you experience food sensitivities from eating tomatoes, then skip this recipe.
Bell Peppers/Candida Diet: Bell peppers are generally allowed. They are a non-starchy vegetable, low in sugar, nutrient rich. While bell peppers are generally safe, please note that some individuals with severe sensitivities or inflammatory conditions may need to eliminate them from their diet or monitor closely their symptoms. If you experience food sensitivities from eating bell peppers, then skip this recipe.
Serving: Do not spread the entire salad over top of all the pizza slices unless you plan to eat the entire pizza in one sitting as the crust will get soggy with the salad sitting on top of it. If unsure, only dress individual slices on plates as you consume them. If you believe you might have leftovers, then do not dress the salad as the lettuce will become wilted. Dress individual servings, then place individual salad servings over top of the pizza crust, then serve. This avoids a soggy crust, and a potentially a soggy salad.
Pepita Benefits: Pepitas are rich in healthy fats, omega-3 and omega-6. They are high in fiber and contain magnesium which helps regulate blood pressure. They contain zinc and are rich in antioxidants. They are a great source of Vitamin E and are an excellent source of plant-based complete protein. They also contain iron. Pumpkin seeds (pepitas) have been shown to improve prostrate and bladder health as well.
Raw Green Onions Benefits: Raw green onions are rich in Vitamins A, C, and K, full of antioxidants, fiber, folate, potassium and calcium. Raw green onions have many antibacterial and antiviral properties.
