Istead of potatoes use celeriac, celery root, is very low in carbs and calories with tons of
nutrients.

Peel then

• Try it raw — sliced or grated — in salads, coleslaw or French celeriac remoulade.
• Boil and mash the vegetable as an alternative to potatoes or other root vegetables.
• Roast or bake celeriac like potatoes.
• Cook and blend it for soups, sauces, pies and casseroles.

What Is Celeriac—and How to Use It

Most of the empty carbs and calories come from the pizza dough.

Use tortillas for a low carb and low calorie pizza.

I buy the large tortillas, they are good for one serving.
I enjoy sprouted spelt but have not tried them all.

The key is to brush tortilla with olive oil then bake until brown and hard then add toppings then bake some more

It is better than delivery as it is quick and cheaper and waaaaaay healthier than junk food pizza

Butternut squash or zuchini instead of wheat spaghetti

You can get a spiralizer and spiralize it yourself or buy it spiralized

More expensive but way healthier

I would also recommend spaghetti squash.
it naturally comes off in strands.

Try roasted chickpeas instead of chips. Throw them on a baking sheet thirty minutes. Not only will they get super crisp, but you can add some spice or BBQ seasoning

While nut butters can be higher in fat than other sandwich spreads, they offer a whole lot of health benefits, too. “Nut butters are nutrient-dense, providing healthy fats, protein, fibre and essential vitamins like vitamin E and magnesium,” says Walpole. There are a host of delicious options available, from creamy macadamia, known to improve gut health and protect against heart disease, to classic peanut butter.

Choose your nuts then make your own nut butter at a health food store

Almond or walnut are the most nutritious so I mix them

With their fats and fibre a spoonful is all you need for the quickest snack possible

A healthy drink I make often when i lack time for cooking is my 'Gaspacho' drink soup.

I put in the blender celery, cucumbers , 1 or 2 red tomatoes, some salad, a bit of garlic and I blend that adding V8 to make it liquid. I spice it up with Tabaso and black pepper. Delicious and healthy drink
