Fake Food vs Real Food


Grocery shopping is probably one of my favorite things to do. I stroll. I browse. I read the ingredients. I see what’s new. It’s an experience for sure.

I’m walking through Albertson’s today and my eye catches a pizza box that reads, Gluten-Free Cauliflower Crust Pizza with Roasted Vegetables. URRRCCCHHHH! Isn’t this appealing to the eye? Of course, I pick it up and immediately look at the ingredients. AAAHHH HAAAA! This is where it gets real.

If it seems too good to be true, it is most likely too good to be true.
In my mind, I’m thinking that I’m about to read a list of real all natural ingredients. WRONG! There are a ton of ingredients including rice flour, sugar, cheese, rice starch, more sugar, and other crap. I toss it right back in that freezer.

The problem is that box was so tempting. Those words knew exactly how to get me to pick it up. Most people just do not know. It’s really not your fault. I’ll give you that. If you are truly trying to watch your intake and live a healthy natural lifestyle, read your ingredients. Please. If you can’t pronounce it or buy it in the store, it’s most likely not good for you. Just because it is labeled, “GLUTEN FREE” doesn’t make it good for you. Better, possibly… Good, nah!

You may not agree with me, but that’s ok too…

Let me help you…

Here is a pizza crust recipe that is legit:

Pre heat Oven 350
3 large eggs
1 cup full fat coconut milk
½ cup olive oil
3 cups tapioca flour
1 TBLS baking powder
1 tsp sea salt
Whisk first 3 ingredients
Mix the dry and then pour wet into dry
Mix together dough, roll out in to a circle (or any shape) until VERY flat, bake 10-12 minutes.
Let cool about 5 minutes
Add your toppings – place back in oven until meat, veggies or whatever you add are to your liking.
