Nutritional Choice of the Month - September 2008:
Kashi Original Crust Pizzas

Yes, even trainers eat pizza! I’ve chatted about pizza previously (http://pcconditioning.com/archive_nutrition/

) as it’s admittedly my favorite food. The key is having a treat and making it healthy. Long story short: stay away from the thick crust, meat-lovers, etc… from Uno Chicago Grill! You can have a treat and it doesn’t have to be loaded with calories and saturated fat.

If you know me by now, you know I love Kashi products. That being said, give their original crust pizza a try. Pair it with a salad to make sure you get your intake of veggies and fiber.

Kashi PizzaThe ingredients for the pizza are as follows:

Crust (wheat flour, crust mix [wheat gluten, oat flour, oat fiber, oat syrup solids, barley malt extract, triticale flour, brown rice flour, red wheat flour, rye flour, salt, barley flour, buckwheat flour, sesame seed], water, yeast, ground flaxseed, extra virgin olive oil), cheese blend (mozzarella cheese [pasteurized part-skim cow’s milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes], white cheddar cheese [pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes, calcium chloride], yellow cheddar cheese [pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes, calcium chloride, annatto color], asiago cheese [pasteurized part-skim cow’s milk, cheese cultures, salt, microbial rennet]), sauce (water, diced tomatoes in juice [diced tomatoes, tomato juice, salt, calcium chloride, citric acid], tomato paste [tomatoes], sauce mix [cane juice solids, maltodextrin, dehydrated garlic, cornstarch, salt, spices and spice extractives, xanthan gum, citric acid], extra virgin olive oil), diced tomates (tomato, calcium chloride), parmesan cheese (pasteurized part-skim milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes), basil, oregano.

Try a slice and send me your feedback. I’d love to hear what you think of them!
