Caitlin's Paleo Protein Pizza
Happy Monday Everyone!
Do you love pizza like I do? This is the cleanest pizza around....dairy free, paleo, grain free, soy free and gluten free! It is perfect for during the week when you want flavor without cheating on your diet. It is low carb and high protein. It is definitely great for those of you that follow a Keto diet. Give it a try and let me know how you like it. You can add chicken instead of the beef, or change it up with different vegetables. Your choice!
