While I’ve spent many years struggling with food and diet, exercise has always been a lot easier for me. I’m one of those people who really just enjoys a good workout. When I lived in California, my choice of exercise, was mainly hiking and walking but now that I’m back on the east coast and the weather doesn’t always support that type of outdoor activity, I’ve been changing things up a bit.
One of the things I’ve been working on again is strength training, so I’ve also been trying to find some easy, delicious ways to work a bit more protein into my diet to support my workouts. This recipe was born from my desire to have a quick meal option that included protein and greens.
On it’s own, this meal is very light. In the video, I make this recipe with all egg whites but my favorite way to make it is with one egg and 1/4 cup of egg whites. If egg whites aren’t your thing, you can also use two eggs.
The key to this recipe is the spices. The combination of Italian seasonings along with a bit of garlic powder is what gives this meal all the flavor of a pizzeria pizza.
You can certainly change up the toppings by adding whatever fresh veggie you have on hand (my daughter loves this pizza topped with thinly sliced fresh mushrooms!).
To make this a full meal, I usually serve it alongside some fresh fruit and/or my beloved Ezekiel toast topped with either coconut oil or almond butter.

But now I’m curious, do you like a good workout? And if so, what is your favorite way to move? Or, do you find exercise to be a bore?
Egg White and Spinach Pizza
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup egg whites

Instructions
- Whisk egg whites together in a small bowl.

This recipe is really ingeneous. I can’t wait to try it.
On the exercise question, I have never really liked working out but have recently found Pilates and Zumba and adore them both for totally different reasons. Now I go to the studio where I take classes with a ton of joy and excitement and leave feeling so good in my body. 🙂
