Protein Pizza Pie

 

     When the trending Protein phase has a baby with the trending Cottage Cheese phase, what do you get!?  My delicious Protein Pizza Pie of course…and I am not complaining…just making a joke at social media’s expense.  These are pretty easy to throw together, and the big bonus is these make 8 servings, so perfect for a group, or just to hang on for lunch all week.  In addition to these superlative macros, the taste is amazing, and super clean ingredients. So if your standard Pizza got a therapist, gave up Diet Coke, and started going to church, this would be the end result.  Love when my creations turn out as good as they were in my imagination!  #trythisone 😋
