 Vegan Green Goddess Pizza

            


This Vegan Green Goddess Pizza is full of big flavors, with creamy cashew cheese and green pesto

So here’s the low-down on this recipe. I used a store-bought, whole wheat pizza crust, but I’m sure homemade would work just fine. Just be aware of the difference in cooking times between the two doughs – when in doubt, keep an eye on your pizza in the oven, and take it out when it’s golden brown. Also, this green goddess pizza is VEGAN and HEALTHY!! Seriously! Whole wheat crust, cashew cheese, pesto, and greens – it’s basically like the most delicious salad with an extra large crouton. I hope you all love it!!




Green Goddess Pizza

This green goddess pizza might be the best vegan pizza you'll ever have, with cashew cheese, pesto, topped with fresh greens and hemp seeds!
 Prep Time 15 minutes
 Cook Time 25 minutes
 Total Time 40 minutes
 Servings 1 Pizza

Ingredients

Cashew Cheese

  • 1/2 Cup Raw Cashews soaked overnight
  • 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1/2 Tsp Celery Salt
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 1 Tbs Nutritional Yeast
  • 2 Tsp Tamari or Soy Sauce
  • Water if needed, to thin

Pesto

  • 1 Small Shallot chopped
  • 2 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 3 Cups Mesclun Greens
  • 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 1/4 Tsp Pepper
  • 1/4 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes

The Pizza

  • 1 Package Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
  • Greens and Sprouts for topping
  • Hemp Seeds for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. In a blender, combine the cashew cheese ingredients (making sure to use soaked cashews). Blend on high until a smooth, creamy sauce is formed, using water to thin if necessary. Set aside.
  3. In a food processor, combine all pesto ingredients and process until a slightly chunky pesto is formed. Set aside.
  4. On a pizza tray, roll out your pizza until it's between 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick. Shape the crust so that it's a little thicker than the rest of the pizza.
  5. Take about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread it on the pizza as a base. Then, add a layer of the cashew cheese, and then a layer of the pesto.
  6. Bake pizza in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven, and let cool for a few minutes.
  8. Then, top the pizza with more greens, sprouts, and hemp seeds (if desired).
  9. Cut into slices and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

For the greens used to top the pizza, you can use a mesclun blend, or any sort of baby greens - i.e. baby kale, romaine, etc.
The time it takes the pizza to cook may vary based on whether or not you used store-bought or homemade. When in doubt, follow the directions on the package.

   Start your morning with a good cup of coffee 1. Coffee is a potent source of healthful antioxidants. In fact, coffee shows more antioxidant activity than green tea and cocoa, two antioxidant superstars. Scientists have identified approximately 1,000 antioxidants in unprocessed coffee beans, and hundreds more develop during the roasting process. Numerous studies have cited coffee as a major — and in some cases, the primary — dietary source of antioxidants for its subjects. How it works: Antioxidants fight inflammation, an underlying cause of many chronic conditions, including arthritis, atherosclerosis and many types of cancer. They also neutralize free radicals, which occur naturally as a part of everyday metabolic functions, but which can cause oxidative stress that leads to chronic disease. In other words, antioxidants help keep us healthy at the micro-level by protecting our cells from damage. Finally, chlorogenic acid, an important antioxidant found almost exclusively i...
