We're two months in to the New Year and let's be real, we're all finding it a little hard to stay true to our new year, new me diets. Enter the Mediterranean Diet, which is all the hype at the moment and for good reason. It's one of the healthiest and most delicious ways to employ a diet plan. Achieving a Mediterranean Diet basically means eating the historic diets of those who lived in the regions around Southern Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Spain. 

Major perk: it allows you a glass of wine every so often, so you can truly wine and dine like you're in Morocco or Greece.

So we've come up with a delish salad and pizza hybrid inspired by the flavors of both Italy and Greece. And with a grain free, low glycemic pizza crust packed with healthy goodness like almond flour, coconuts, and chia seeds you can truly feel guilt free while indulging on pizza.
