3. The Healthiest Pizza in the World

Cauliflower flour makes a really good alternative for the carbohydrate-rich white flour. In this keto-friendly pizza recipe, it makes up the crust together with cheese and eggs. You don’t need to use flour, add salt (since cheese contains fat and salt), or put in sugar. Use homemade tomato sauce or look for one that has low to no sugar added.
