Straight from the pages of Leah Itsines’ BARE Guide where you’ll find over 120 other delicious recipe ideas, meal planners, shopping lists and healthy variations of all your favourite foods, the food blogger shares exclusively with Amodrn her recipe for this veggie-packed Mediterranean pizza which uses wholemeal pita bread as the base for a healthier, lower calorie option. “This is a great way to get a crispy thin crust,” says Leah. “If you wanted more veggies into your day, you could try a cauliflower or broccoli base! And for a plant-based swap, simply opt for vegan cheese!”
