Some of you might be getting ready to celebrate St. Patty’s day with some green beer or some green eggs and ham. I’ll be making this amazing green-high-protein pizza crust. Let’s call it the…
Lean Green Pizza Machine
From the Kitchen of Krista Schaus (modified ever-so-slightly by Joanna O’Sutter)
1/2 cup egg whites
1 egg
1/3 cup ground flax
1/3 cup brown rice, pea or hemp protein powder (I went all the whey and used vanilla Protein Freeze)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp hot pepper flakes
1 cup spinach
Combine ingredients in a blender until smooth. Cook like a pancake by pouring the mixture in a pan coated with Pam Olive Oil. Cook over medium to medium-high heat until bubbles appear and it starts to cook through. Flip and cook the other side. Cool completely. Cover your green crust with your favorite green pizza toppings and bake on a pizza pan or stone for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees. Makes one serving.
You can thank your lucky charms and Krista for this great tasting, low carb, high fiber, and St. Patrick’s day approved pizza crust.
Now I really must go have another slice of pizza…Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Results published in the New England Journal of Medicine show that sugar-free gum chewers can burn off a considerable amount of weight each year. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, hooked seven students up to a machine and measured the content of exhaled air, which allowed them to measure the amount of energy expended by each individual.
Article From AskMen.com By Simon McNeil
The first measurement was taken during a 30-minute rest period (without chewing gum) and the average energy expenditure was 58 kilocalories an hour.
Next, subjects were given sugar-free gum and instructed to chew 100 times per minute for a period of 12 minutes. The measurement after the chewing activity resulted in an elevation in the metabolic rate, which burned an average of 70 kilocalories an hour.
The results from this study indicate that chewing sugar-free gum at 100 chews per minute will raise the metabolic rate by approximately 20%, and someone chewing gum all-day can burn off an equivalent of 11 pounds a year.

It seems that the days of elementary school endorsed door-to-door gift-wrap and candy sales are being replaced with a healthy alternative – Adventure to Fitness. Adventure to Fitness is on a mission to combat child obesity – something that affects approximately 25 million kids in the United States.
According to the Adventure to Fitness website, their goal is to reduce the escalating percentage of childhood obesity and empower kids across the nation to make healthy lifestyle choices. They believe that the best way to help children make healthy choices is to lead by inspiration, example and entertainment. With its mixture of music, movement, humor and interactivity, Adventure to Fitness has the ability to draw kids into an exciting, adventurous world of their own accomplishments.
Students raise money to purchase pedometers that track their mileage throughout the course of the “lesson.” Teachers are able to choose between two different lesson plans – Discover the Amazon, which brings students through the rainforest as they learn about healthy choices; or Expedition Everest, which challenges students to see if they can “climb” Mt. Everest through daily activity. Each student is given access to their own website, so that they – as well as their parents – can track their effort.
A way to raise money for schools – without having to commit to a tub of diet-threatening cookie dough? Not only does this fundraiser benefit students by giving them the tools needed to make healthier choices, but it also gives supporters the assurance that they are contributing to a worthwhile cause – without the excess calories.
