Pizza night menu idea

For this menu, I envision a variety of toppings ready to go so guests can easily customize their pizzas. Have the pizza crust ready and perhaps already sliced. Once it has finished dehydrating, you can keep it in a warm oven [turned off so it doesn’t burn] until guests are ready. 

The crust:

high protein pizza crust: this delicious pizza crust makes a fantastic base for any toppings all sorts of toppings.

fiber-rich pizza crust: if you prefer a springy crust, try this one. it has psyllium husk in it. [this is the pizza pictured above]

Pizza toppings: 

fermented cashew cheese: try mixing in sundried tomatoes or Italian seasoning

marinated mushrooms

cauliflower crumbles or really anything from this tag

Sauces:

Basil pesto

sundried tomato sauce

garlic alfredo sauce: I can’t be the only one who loves alfredo on pizza. I recommend using Italian seasoning in the sauce.

Other good toppings include:

olives

pineapple

thinly sliced spinach

veggies such as tomatoes or bell peppers. you can marinade and dehydrate them or leave them as-is.

avocado

truffle oil

Side items:

So many things go great with pizza. I’d recommend one of these:

onion rings

kale salad

Drink: 

I’d recommend something fizzy such as kombucha.

Dessert:

Marinara sauce

This is a good basic marinara sauce. Dress it up anyway you like. I recommend adding one or two dates and some nama shoyu. Different kinds of tomatoes can change the taste.

Building a Buddha bowl

Some ideas for raw vegan Buddha bowls:

Sprouted grains such as quinoa, millet, or amaranth 

Other sprouts such as lentils or green peas

Bloomed wild rice

You could try raw sprouted beans. Just ensure you select a type that is safe to eat raw, such as garbanzo, adzuki, or mung beans. Of course, you could always cook them instead.
