This Portobello Mushroom And Avocado Pizza Is:

Amazingly Textured. You get ooey, gooey cheese, a crispy top (the broiling really helps here), and soft, yet crunchy onions.

So Easy To Make. There’s no dough to roll out. You need less than 10 ingredients. And all it takes is 30 minutes from start to finish.

A Healthy Alternative To Traditional Pizza. Regular pizza is usually made from all purpose flour. While it’s fine to have in moderation, it doesn’t really offer any nutritional value.

As far as toppings go, adding avocado to this pizza means you’re getting heart-healthy fats. Plus, this recipe will keep you full for longer!

SO WHY SHOULD YOU INCORPORATE MUSHROOMS INTO YOUR DIET?

Mushrooms are one of the only natural sources of vitamin D. Other than vitamin D, portobello mushrooms are also packed with copper and selenium. On a side note, the tomato is fully there for hearth health and also contain no fat. Along with that, the avocado will provide your body with healthy fats and boost your mood. Happy meatless pizza making!
