Welcome friends to Be Creatively Healthy Recipe Blog. As some of you know, I have food allergies to legumes, including peanuts & SOY. This makes weight-loss meal replacements a challenge. With planning, I created recipes using Optavia Soy-free products (Some with Soy Lecithin used sparingly). I was able to release my first 100 lbs in just 6-1/2 months on Optavia!

CAULIFLOWER CRUST for BREAD STICKS, PIZZA or a SANDWICH: Meal for 2
[2 Servings: Each 1/2 Lean, 2 Green, 1/2 Condiments]
Ingredients:
2 cup raw grated cauliflower (4 Greens)
1 egg, well beaten (1/3 Lean)*Or 1/4 cup egg whites
1 cup shredded reduced fat mozzarella (2/3 Lean)
1 teaspoon minced garlic (1 condiment)
Directions:
~Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. ~Mix cauliflower, egg (1/4 cup egg substitute can be used), shredded mozzarella, and garlic together in a bowl until combined. ~Line a small baking sheet with parchment and lightly Pam sprayed. ~Divide into 2 portions then scoop each onto parchment about 1/4 -1/2 inch deep in the shape of a rectangle or circle, as thin as you can. ~Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 min or until starts to hold its shape. Lay a second sheet of parchment paper lined baking sheet over the crust to flip over to continue baking for 15 more minutes at 400 degrees F. ~Remove from oven. For CHEESY BREADSTICKS add 3 ounces reduced-fat cheese to EACH Crust, then bake until cheese is melted. Serve with marinara sauce. Recipe below
MARINARA For the CHEESY BREADSTICKS or Pizza :
[2 servings: 1 Green, 1/2 Condiment]
1/4 cup Rao's Marinara Sauce (1 Green) 1/2 cup Italian diced tomatoes (1 Greens)
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning (1/2 Condiment)
1/2 teaspoon Garlic, minced (1/2 Condiment)
Pinch Salt or Pepper
~Puree ingredients a few times in a personal blender. ~Pour into a small sauce pan and simmer to reduce some liquid, if needed.
*Note: You can just use 1/2 cup total of the Rao's Sauce if you prefer to save a step. OR if you don't have Rao's Sauce you can use 1 cup diced tomatoes (I prefer the Rotel brand with green chilies).
For PIZZA Option:
[Add 1/2 Lean for each crust]
Spread Marinara sauce over each crust evenly then add the 1/2 lean of your choosing.
For example: 3 ounce reduced-fat cheese on each crust for Cheese Pizza ....OR ....
Make crust recipe then make smaller circles or squares. (This batch made 8 small rounds so 4 rounds was a serving.) Bake as directed above. Spread with a serving of light mayonnaise or wedges Light Laughing Cow cheese (1 Fat) over crusts. Add 2 slices of reduced-fat cheese plus 2 ounces low-fat turkey (OR 1/3 serving of Meatless options) along with 1 serving of green like lettuce and tomato.
