Stuffed portobello mushroom pizzas

Everyone loves pizza but it’s not the healthiest option on the menu until now! Portobello mushrooms replace the pizza crust which is then stuffed with all of our favorite toppings. Never ever feel guilty about eating pizza again.

Portobello mushrooms can sometimes seem a little weird due to their massive size but don’t let the looks of these gems scare your away. Using these large mushroom caps as the basis for our pizza is not only super healthy its low calorie and low carb. You can mix and match any toppings you desire, creating your own stuffed mushroom pizzas. For a unique idea try replacing the tomato sauce with fresh pesto!
