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!
